modification of charges.
A reparation obligor may request or negotiate a reduction or modification of charges from
a provider of services to a secured person. In no event shall a provider of services which
agrees to a reduction or modification of the charges bill the secured person for the amount
of the reduction or modification. Nothing in this section is intended to prohibit a provider
of services from billing charges to a secured party if the charges are not paid by a
reparation obligor because the reparation benefits have been exhausted.
