Relating to the timely billing of health care services related to a personal injury claim.

HB 4145 modifies Texas law to allow health care providers to bill a patient's attorney directly for services related to a personal injury claim, instead of billing the patient or responsible person, when the patient has legal representation. This applies within the same 10-month deadline (by the first day of the 11th month after services are provided) that currently applies to standard billing. The bill directly affects health care providers, patients with injury claims represented by attorneys, and their legal representatives. It streamlines billing by shifting the responsibility to the attorney while maintaining the existing timeframe for submitting bills.
