Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.

Sec. 368c.
Remittance advice and procedures.
(a) A remittance advice shall be furnished to a health care professional or

care provider that identifies the disposition of each claim. The remittance
advice shall identify the services billed; the patient responsibility, if any;
the actual payment, if any, for the services billed; and the reason for any

independent practice association,
or
physician hospital organization in accordance with the terms of the contract.
(b) When health care services are provided by a non-participating

organization,
independent practice association, or physician hospital organization may pay
for covered
services either to a patient directly or to the non-participating health care
professional or
health care provider.
(c) When a person presents a
benefits information card,
a health care professional or health care provider shall make a good faith
effort
to inform the
