OK HB2164

Amends 12 O.S. 2011, Section 3009.1 to require actual amounts paid for medical expenses be admissible at trial in personal injury cases, not amounts billed.

Allows signed statements from medical providers acknowledging acceptance of paid amounts as full payment to be admitted as evidence instead of billed amounts, though the statement need not be shown to the jury.

Permits bills exceeding amounts paid to be admitted if a medical provider has filed a lien for an amount greater than what was paid, up to the lien amount.

Establishes that when no payment has been made, Medicare reimbursement rates in effect at the time of injury are admissible if accompanied by a signed provider statement accepting Medicare rates less cost of recovery as full payment.

Applies to civil personal injury cases filed on or after November 1, 2015, with the act becoming effective November 1, 2015.
