Lockshin v. Semsker set forth some disconcerting parameters for how to deal with the medical bills owed that are reduced because the health care provider waived the fees on the case in Maryland. Semsker did not cover all of the potential scenarios of how defendants can reduce what it is required to pay in medical bills but it does indicate that it would be through a post-verdict hearing process.
California thankfully appears to be going in a different direction on this issue.
