S.0930

Calculating Medical Expenses for Damage Awards

Introduced·2/17/26

South Carolina S0930 establishes rules for calculating medical expenses in civil actions for health care treatment or services.

South Carolina S0930 amends the state code to define terms related to calculating medical expenses for damage awards in civil actions. It specifies that the plaintiff must prove the amount of damages claimed and provides the basis for determining the amount of damages. If the claimant has health insurance, the amount of damages is limited to the reasonable value of medically necessary care. If the claimant does not have health insurance, the amount is determined by the provider's agreed acceptance or a percentage of the Medicare or Medicaid rate.
