    Default Statement vs. Receipt

    The health insurance paid the medical bills for the auto personal injuries. There is no receipt (because paid by the health insurance already) but the statement only. Can the court accept doctor office billing statement as a proof of damages or only the receipt can be a proof?

    Default Re: Statement vs. Receipt

    a receipt is not proof of damages. It is proof the bill was paid. All that is required for proof of damages is an entity that would provide the repair that is acceptable to the court says the damages are $XXX.xx.

    So, in this case, the doctors billing is adequate proof of the amount of damages, maybe.

    Now, since there are situations where doctors billings are paid at less than full billed amount due to some contractual relationship (PPO insurance is one such possibility), the actual payment record could be required to prove the damages.

    so, what is the situation so you can get some specific answers?

    I do not know the actual payment or the contractual relationship and so on because that is something between the doctor office and health insurance. Is it ok to show the court the charge amount (Due is 0 because it has already been paid by the co-payment and the health insurance) from the doctor office or the court must know how the payment was paid such as how much was co-payment and how much was paid by the health insurance?
