    The Court reversed the trial court’s order reducing the judgment and remanded the case with instructions to enter judgment in the full amount of the jury’s verdict. In reaching its decision, the Court chose not to follow the Second District’s decision in Perkey v. Portes-Jarol, 2013 IL App (2d) 120470, which allowed a reduction in the judgment for the amount of expenses written off by medical providers. The Court distinguished the arguments raised in Perkey as “different” from the arguments raised in Miller.
