Admissibility of Evidence in Civil Cases

Added a requirement that evidence of past medical expenses must include the source of payment, clarifying that the law applies regardless of who paid for the treatment.

Established that when claimants lack health coverage or have Medicare/Medicaid, evidence of 120% of Medicare reimbursement rates (or 170% of Medicaid rates if no Medicare rate exists) is admissible for unpaid charges.

Added provisions for future medical expenses, allowing evidence of 120% of Medicare rates at trial time (or 170% of Medicaid rates) when claimants lack coverage or have Medicare/Medicaid.

Added a provision stating that parties have no affirmative duty to seek reductions in billed charges they are not contractually entitled to.

Corrected grammatical errors and formatting inconsistencies in the original bill text, including fixing the phrase 'shall be is admissible' to 'shall be admissible'.

Added clarification that individual contracts between healthcare providers and insurers are not subject to discovery and cannot be used as evidence.
