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.
(305 ILCS 5/5-16.10)
Sec. 5-16.10.
Managed care entities; marketing.
A managed health care entity
providing services under this Article V
may not engage in door-to-door
marketing activities or marketing activities at an office of the Illinois
Department or a county department in order to enroll
recipients
in the entity's health
care
delivery system. The Department shall adopt rules defining "marketing
activities" prohibited by this Section.
Before a managed health care entity
providing services under this Article V
may market its health care delivery
system
to recipients,
the Illinois Department must approve a marketing plan submitted
by the entity to the Illinois Department. The Illinois Department shall adopt
guidelines for approving marketing plans submitted by managed health care
entities under this Section. Besides prohibiting door-to-door marketing
activities and marketing activities at public aid offices, the guidelines shall
include at least the following:
(1) A managed health care entity may not offer or |
| provide any gift, favor, or other inducement in marketing its health care delivery system to integrated health care program enrollees. A managed health care entity may provide health care related items that are of nominal value and pre-approved by the Department to prospective enrollees. A managed health care entity may also provide to enrollees health care related items that have been pre-approved by the Department as an incentive to manage their health care appropriately.
|
|
(2) All persons employed or otherwise engaged by a
|
| managed health care entity to market the entity's health care delivery system to recipients or to supervise that marketing shall register with the Illinois Department.
|
|
The Inspector General appointed under Section 12-13.1 may conduct
investigations to determine whether the marketing practices of managed health
care entities
providing services under this Article V
comply with
the guidelines.
