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

This bill (HD 214) simplifies how medical records and bills can be used as evidence in court cases involving injuries. It directly affects people in personal injury lawsuits, workers' compensation claims, and similar legal proceedings where medical treatment costs or diagnoses are disputed. The key change allows hospital records, itemized bills, and physician reports to be admitted as evidence without requiring a full subpoena of the provider, provided the opposing party receives written notice (via certified mail, 10 days in advance) and a copy of the records. This streamlines the process while preserving the right for any party to cross-examine the provider or challenge the records if needed.
