An Act to encourage quality reviews and reduce costs in health care

This bill aims to lower health care costs and improve quality by updating rules for medical peer reviews and malpractice claims. It allows voluntary peer review committees to operate even if they are not legally required to do so, ensuring that providers can still evaluate their own practices. Additionally, the bill changes how interest is calculated on malpractice verdicts, setting the rate based on Treasury yields plus two percent, and limits what patients can recover for lost chances of survival or better outcomes unless that chance was over 50%. Finally, it modifies how courts calculate damages under consumer protection laws by focusing on the interest applied to judgments rather than the total underlying claim amount.
