In Re Donald Francis Smith, Plaintiff v. Michael D. Jeppsen, Defendant and State Farm Mutual Automobi — Eid, J…

April 30, 20122012 Colo. LEXIS 331

Summary

Justice Eid dissents from the majority's conclusion that the legislature incorporated a restriction on admitting evidence that a medical provider accepted less than the amount billed. The dissent reasons that the statute addresses post-verdict reimbursement claims and preserves, rather than changes, the collateral-source doctrine. Justice Coats and Justice Boatright joined the dissent.
