Bill overview
This bill changes how medical bills are presented in Oklahoma civil court cases involving personal injuries. It limits the evidence that can be used to prove the cost of treatment to the actual amounts paid, rather than the billed amounts. The bill also addresses future medical needs, specifying that only amounts necessary to cover those needs, based on Medicare rates or insurance coverage, can be presented at trial, and clarifies how liens and reimbursement rates should be considered.
