Amends TCA Title 16 and Title 24.
Tennessee SB0571 proposes to amend the Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) Title 16 and Title 24 by increasing the maximum amount of medical, hospital, or doctor bills that can be itemized in a civil complaint from $4,000 to $10,000. This change affects plaintiffs in civil actions who seek to include medical expenses as evidence, allowing them to present a higher amount without needing additional proof of necessity or reasonableness. The bill maintains that itemized bills attached as exhibits will serve as prima facie evidence of their necessity and reasonableness.
