class=\"subsection\">\n<p>(b)\u2002Any collateral source payment paid or owed to or on behalf of a plaintiff shall be inadmissible in any action for personal injuries or wrongful death where a public entity is a defendant. \u2002However, after a verdict has been returned against a public entity that includes damages for which payment from a collateral source listed below has already been paid or is obligated to be paid for services or benefits that were provided prior to the commencement of trial, and the total of the collateral source payments is greater than five thousand dollars ($5,000),

interrogatory or in writing at the trial-setting conference, request from the plaintiff a list of the names and addresses of any provider of a collateral source payment affected by this section that has provided collateral source payments directly to or on behalf of the plaintiff and the amount provided to the plaintiff from each collateral source. \u2002The plaintiff shall produce the requested list within 30 days of such request. \u2002The plaintiff shall have a continuing duty to disclose to the public entity defendant the name and address of any provider of a collateral source payment affected by this section but not disclosed in plaintiff&#8217;s response if that provider pays or owes collateral source payments to or on behalf of plaintiff between the time of plaintiff&#8217;s response and the commencement of trial.<\/p>\n<p>The public entity shall provide written notice to each provider of a collateral source payment listed by the plaintiff or identified by defendant of the date set for any pretrial settlement conference.<\/p>\n<p>The provider of a collateral source shall not be required to attend a settlement conference unless requested to do so by the court. \u2002The court may request a provider of a collateral source to attend a settlement conference or to provide written information, to be available by telephone, or to otherwise participate in the conference, and a provider of a collateral source shall waive its rights to reimbursement unless it attends or otherwise complies with the request.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subsection\">\n<p>(d)\u2002If the plaintiff fails or refuses to supply to the defendant public entity information as to the identity of a provider of a collateral source payment, as required by this section, the defendant public entity may, upon discovery of the identity of the provider of a collateral source payment, within five years of the date of entry of judgment, request a reduction of the judgment for payment made or for services provided prior to the commencement of trial by that source. \u2002Failure of plaintiff to provide the names of collateral source providers affected by this section and known to plaintiff, shall subject plaintiff or plaintiff&#8217;s attorney to sanctions pursuant to\u00a0<span class=\"cite\">Section 128.5 of the Code of Civil Procedure\u00a0<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subsection\">\n<p>(e)\u2002The public entity shall also give 20 days notice to the provider of a collateral source payment of any posttrial settlement conference or hearing regarding collateral source payments under this section.<\/p>\n<p>Proof of service of any notice sent pursuant to this section shall be filed with the court and a copy served on all parties to the action.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subsection\">\n<p>(f)\u2002At the hearing the trial court shall, in its discretion and on terms as may be just, make a final determination as to any pending lien and subrogation rights, and, subject to subdivisions\u2009\u00a0<span class=\"footnote-reference\">\u20091<\/span>\u00a0(1) to (3), inclusive, determine what portion of collateral source payments should be reimbursed from the judgment to the provider of a collateral source payment, deducted from the verdict, or accrue to the benefit of the plaintiff. \u2002No provider of collateral source payments pursuant to this section shall recover any amount against the plaintiff nor shall it be subrogated to the rights of the plaintiff against a public entity defendant other than in the amount so determined by the court. \u2002The following provisions shall apply to the court&#8217;s adjustments:<\/p>\n<div class=\"subsection\">\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">(1)\u2002If the court has determined that the verdict included money damages for which the plaintiff has already received payment from or had his or her expenses paid by the following collateral sources: \u2009Medi-Cal, county health care, Aid to Families with Dependent Children, Victims of Crime, or other nonfederal publicly funded sources of benefit with statutory lien rights, the court shall order reimbursement from the judgment of those amounts to the provider of a collateral source payment pursuant to this section and on terms as may be just.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subsection\">\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">(2)\u2002If the court has determined that the verdict includes money damages for which the plaintiff has already received payment from or had his or her expenses paid by the following collateral sources: \u2009private medical programs, health maintenance organizations, state disability, unemployment insurance, private disability insurance, or other sources of compensation similar to those listed in this paragraph, the court may, after considering the totality of all circumstances and on terms as may be just, determine what portion of the collateral source benefits will be reimbursed from the judgment to the provider of the collateral source payment, used to reduce the verdict, or accrue to the benefit of the plaintiff. \u2002However, nothing in this section shall create subrogation or lien rights that do not already exist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subsection\">\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">(3)\u2002In determining the amount to be reimbursed from the judgment to a provider of a collateral source payment, or the amount by which the judgment will be reduced to account for collateral source payments, the court shall make the following adjustments:<\/p>\n<div class=\"subsection\">\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">(A)\u2002Where plaintiff has been found partially at fault, the reimbursement or reduction shall be decreased by the same percentage as the entire judgment is reduced to take into account the plaintiff&#8217;s comparative fault.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subsection\">\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">(B)\u2002The court shall deduct from the reimbursement or reduction the amount of premiums the court determines were paid by or on behalf of the plaintiff to the provider of a collateral source payment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subsection\">\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">(C)\u2002After making the adjustments described in subparagraphs (A) and (B) above, the court shall reduce that amount by a percentage equal to the percentage of the entire judgment that the plaintiff paid or owes for his or her attorney fees and costs and reasonable expenses incurred.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subsection\">\n<p>(g)\u2002In no event shall the total dollar amount deducted from the verdict, paid to lienholders or reimbursed to all collateral source providers, exceed one-half of the plaintiff&#8217;s net recovery for all damages after deducting for attorney&#8217;s fees, medical services paid by the plaintiff, and litigation costs; \u2009however, the court may order no reimbursement or verdict reduction if the reimbursement or reduction would result in undue financial hardship upon the person who suffered the injury.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subsection\">\n<p>(h)\u2002Unless otherwise ordered by the court, 50 percent of any amount reimbursed pursuant to this section shall be due immediately. \u2002The court may order the remaining 50 percent to be paid in installments over a period of time to be determined by the court pursuant to\u00a0<span class=\"cite\">Section 984\u00a0<\/span>, not to exceed 10 years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subsection\">\n<p>(i)\u2002In any case involving multiple defendants, a reduction pursuant to this section shall be proportional to the percentage of the judgment actually paid by the public entity and shall satisfy the judgment as to the portion reduced so that no other judgment debtor shall be jointly liable for the portion of the judgment reduced pursuant to this section. \u2002If, after a hearing and determination pursuant to this section, the public entity judgment debtor is required to satisfy a portion of a joint and several judgment beyond that public entity judgment debtor&#8217;s several portion due to the uncollectability of a joint tortfeasor&#8217;s portion, the public entity may make a motion to reduce the additional portion in an amount proportional to the determination of the court pursuant to this section.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subsection\">\n<p>(j)\u2002In all actions affected by this section, the court shall instruct the jury with the following language:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou shall award damages in an amount that fully compensates plaintiff for damages in accordance with instructions from the court. \u2002You shall not speculate or consider any other possible sources of benefit the plaintiff may have received. \u2002After you have returned your verdict the court will make whatever adjustments are necessary in this regard.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subsection\">\n<p>(k)\u2002The Judicial Council shall adopt rules providing for a reasonable extension of the time for filing the notice of appeal from a judgment on the verdict to permit a motion for the hearing and the hearing itself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subsection\">\n<p>(<i>l<\/i>)\u2002If the defendant public entity or defendant public employee is also a health care provider as defined in\u00a0<span class=\"cite\">Section 3333.1 of the Civil Code\u00a0<\/span>, that section controls as to that defendant.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subsection\">\n<p>(m)\u2002This chapter does not apply to lien or subrogation rights provided in Chapter 5 (commencing with\u00a0<span class=\"cite\">Section
