What’s in it
AI summary People suing for injuries can only collect money for medical costs that have already been paid or will be paid in the future. When calculating the cost of future care, the amount must be based on what a health insurance company would pay for those services. This rule applies even if the person injured does not plan to use health insurance.1

This bill relates to recoverable damages and admissible evidence for medical expenses in personal injury actions. The bill provides that medical expense shall not exceed the sum of the amounts paid for medical care already rendered and future medical care that the claimant will receive. The bill provides that evidence to prove future medical care shall be calculated by providing the amounts for which the charges of the health care providers could be satisfied if submitted to the claimant’s health insurance, regardless of whether that health insurance will be used.
