Based on my understanding, benefits or payments provided to the plaintiff from outside sources, such as medical insurance, are not admissible at civil trials.
But parties are required to disclose them during discovery, right? Or only upon request from the other party?

Re: Question regarding medical insurance in tort cases.
The scope of what is discoverable is greater than what is admissible in court. Liability insurance cannot be admitted except to show ownership/control. An offer to pay medical bills cannot be admitted, but the surrounding words may. Settlement offers cannot be admitted, nor can the surrounding words of the offers.Gamecubesupreme wrote:Based on my understanding, benefits or payments provided to the plaintiff from outside sources, such as medical insurance, are not admissible at civil trials.

Insurance coverage is part of the the mandatory disclosures -- parties are required to disclose them without a request.
