Summary

The bill amends Florida Statute 768.0427 to spell out exactly which documents and calculations may be presented to show past or future medical costs in personal injury and wrongful‑death cases. It distinguishes between insured, uninsured, Medicare/Medicaid, and letter‑of‑protection situations, and bars discovery of private insurer‑provider contracts. The goal is to standardize evidence and reduce disputes over medical‑expense proof.
