Legal Question in Personal Injury in Texas

I have PIP, which paid for my chiropractic visits after I was rear ended in an auto accident. The insurance co. of the party that hit me wants to know how much I paid out of pocket and how much my insurance paid of my medical bills. Am I required to tell them I paid nothing out of pocket, or do I just submit my medical bills without explanation? I am in Texas and the accident occurred in Texas.
