Medical Billing Summaries

---

Under Florida’s new evidentiary standards introduced by HB 837, the admissibility of past medical bills is now limited to amounts actually paid rather than amounts billed. This shift requires billing to reflect the reasonable market value of services—typically benchmarked by usual, customary, and reasonable (UCR) rates, or standardized metrics such as Medicare plus 120% or Medicaid plus 170%. As a result, billing specialists must adapt their methodologies to align with these updated legal expectations. Our custom reports now prioritize clear documentation of causation, medical necessity, and cost reasonableness, ensuring they are defensible in court. These accurate, thoroughly supported summaries enhance case value and credibility under the new legal framework.
