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. 5-16.1. Case Management Services. The Illinois Department may
develop, implement and evaluate a Case Management Services Program which
provides services consistent with the provisions of this Section, and the
Inter-Agency Agreement between the Department of Healthcare and Family Services (formerly Department of Public Aid) and the
Department of Public Health, for a targeted population on a less than
Statewide basis in the State of Illinois. The purpose of this Case
Management Services Program shall be to assist eligible participants in
gaining access to needed medical, social, educational and other services
thereby reducing the likelihood of long-term welfare dependency. The Case
Management Services Program shall have the following characteristics:
(a) It shall be conducted for a period of no less |
| than 5 consecutive fiscal years in one urban area containing a high proportion, as determined by Department of Healthcare and Family Services and Department of Public Health records, of Medicaid eligible pregnant or parenting girls under 17 years of age at the time of the initial assessment and in one rural area containing a high proportion, as determined by Department of Healthcare and Family Services and Department of Public Health records, of Medicaid eligible pregnant or parenting girls under 17 years of age at the time of the initial assessment.
|
|
(b) Providers participating in the program shall be
|
| paid an amount per patient per month, to be set by the Illinois Department, for the case management services provided.
|
|
(c) Providers eligible to participate in the program
|
| shall be nurses or social workers, licensed to practice in Illinois, who comply with the rules and regulations established by the Illinois Department and the Inter-Agency Agreement between the Department of Healthcare and Family Services (formerly Department of Public Aid) and the Department of Public Health. The Illinois Department may terminate a provider's participation in the program if the provider is determined to have failed to comply with any applicable program standard or procedure established by the Illinois Department.
|
|
(d) Each eligible participant in an area where the
|
| Case Management Services Program is being conducted may voluntarily designate a case manager, of her own choosing to assume responsibility for her care.
|
|
(e) A participant may change her designated case
|
| manager provided that she informs the Illinois Department by the 20th day of the month in order for the change to be effective in the following month.
|
|
(f) The Illinois Department shall, by rule, establish
|
| procedures for providing case management services when the designated source becomes unavailable or wishes to withdraw from any obligation as case management services provider.
|
|
(g) In accordance with rules adopted by the Illinois
|
| Department, a participant may discontinue participation in the program upon timely notice to the Illinois Department, in which case the participant shall remain eligible for assistance under all applicable provisions of Article V of this Code.
|
|
The Illinois Department shall take any necessary steps to obtain
authorization or waiver under federal law to implement a Case Management
Services Program. Participation shall be voluntary for the provider and
the recipient.
