Damages for Medical Bills Reduced By Contractual Discounts
The Florida Supreme Court has held that a plaintiff in a personal injury case cannot recover the gross amount of his medical bills when the plaintiff's HMO has negotiated a lower rate of reimbursement with the health care providers. The decision is based in part on a Florida statute codifying the collateral source rule. Read the decision here.
The majority opinion and the accompanying concurring opinions do a nice job collecting the law on this subject.
Look for this issue to be raised more frequently in Tennessee.
Is this the same in California?
thanks

Scott - I do not know the answer to that question. I am not a California lawyer.
Sorry.
