FL H1199

Creates Florida Statute 768.755 to establish how damages for medical or health care services are calculated in personal injury and wrongful death actions

Limits recoverable damages to the actual amount remitted to providers (not the original billed amount) for services paid by claimants or paid by insurance, plus copays and deductibles; differences between billed and actual amounts are inadmissible as evidence

Allows evidence of amounts providers routinely accept from insurance payors, amounts billed to claimants, and compensation received from sale of provider agreements when services have an outstanding balance claimed

Prohibits discovery or disclosure of individual contracts between providers and commercial insurers or health maintenance organizations in personal injury actions

Caps damages related to Medicaid, Medicare, or Florida Insurance Code-regulated payor liens or subrogation claims at the lien or subrogation claim amount plus any copayments or deductibles; applies to actions arising after the effective date
