In personal injury lawsuits that don't involve medical malpractice claims against health care providers, this bill would prevent courts from allowing evidence about whether an injured person's medical bills were paid, reduced, written off, or covered by insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, or any other outside source, and this information could not be mentioned at trial for any purpose, including determining fault, calculating damages, or challenging a witness's credibility. Defendants would also be barred from using such discounts or write-offs to justify lowering a settlement offer, and plaintiffs could not be required to disclose any medical lien tied to their claimed injuries during the case. If either side requests it, the judge would be required to instruct the jury not to speculate about whether the plaintiff had insurance, other financial help, or personal payment obligations related to their medical care.
