Auers v. Progressive Direct Ins. Co., — N.W.2d — (Minn. Ct. App. 2016) — In a recent decision, the Minnesota Court of Appeals determined that under Minnesota’s collateral-source statute and Swanson v. Brewster, 784 N.W.2d 264 (Minn. 2010), a discount negotiated by a health insurer remains a deductible collateral source after the health insurer has assigned its subrogation rights to a personal-injury plaintiff.
