An Act to simplify the administrative aspect of evidentiary use of medical information

This bill amends Massachusetts law to allow itemized medical bills and related reports to be used as evidence in court regarding the cost and necessity of medical services. It directly affects individuals involved in legal proceedings where medical treatment is relevant, such as personal injury cases. Under the new rules, these documents can prove charges, diagnoses, and opinions on disability if the opposing party receives a certified copy at least ten days before they are introduced. The law also preserves the right for any party to call medical professionals to testify or cross-examine witnesses about the records.
