Clarifies admissibility of evidence for proving medical expenses in personal injury and wrongful death cases.

This bill amends Florida Statute 768.0427 to clarify the types of evidence that can be used to prove or rebut the amount of damages for past and future medical treatment or services in personal injury or wrongful death actions. It specifies that evidence can include the amount actually paid, the amount the health care coverage would pay, and the amount billed for medically necessary treatment or services. The bill also clarifies that individual contracts between providers and insurers are not subject to discovery or disclosure and are not admissible into evidence.
