CT HB06465

Amends Connecticut statute 52-225a governing how courts reduce damage awards by collateral source payments (such as insurance payments) in personal injury and wrongful death cases, effective October 1, 2021

Expands exceptions to collateral source reductions to include amounts subject to subrogation rights, amounts agreed upon to satisfy subrogation rights, and amounts where subrogation rights have not been waived, limited, or extinguished

Requires courts to receive evidence on subrogation-related amounts in addition to total collateral source payments before entering judgment

Allows evidence of discounted payments accepted by healthcare providers (physicians, dentists, chiropractors, physical therapists, psychologists, etc.) or paid by insurers to be admissible when determining collateral source amounts

Removes outdated date-specific provisions that referenced injuries occurring on or after October 1, 1987, and healthcare-related injuries from 1985-1986
