14 | pursuant to a treatment plan to enhance the ability of a child | ||||||
15 | to function with a congenital, genetic, or early acquired | ||||||
16 | disorder. A congenital or genetic disorder includes, but is not |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | limited to, hereditary disorders. An early acquired disorder | ||||||
2 | refers to a disorder resulting from illness, trauma, injury, or | ||||||
3 | some other event or condition suffered by a child prior to that | ||||||
4 | child developing functional life skills such as, but not | ||||||

10 | (b) A group or individual policy of accident and health | ||||||
11 | insurance or managed care plan amended, delivered, issued, or | ||||||
12 | renewed after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the | ||||||
13 | 95th General Assembly must provide coverage for habilitative | ||||||
14 | services for children under 19 years of age with a congenital, | ||||||
15 | genetic, or early acquired disorder so long as all of the | ||||||
16 | following conditions are met: | ||||||
17 | (1) A physician licensed to practice medicine in all | ||||||
18 | its branches has diagnosed the child's congenital, | ||||||
19 | genetic, or early acquired disorder. | ||||||
20 | (2) The treatment is administered by a licensed | ||||||
21 | speech-language pathologist, licensed audiologist, | ||||||
22 | licensed occupational therapist, licensed physical | ||||||
23 | therapist, licensed physician, licensed nurse, licensed | ||||||
24 | optometrist, licensed nutritionist, licensed social | ||||||

26 | physician licensed to practice medicine in all its |
| |||||||
| |||||||

14 | services that are solely educational in nature or otherwise | ||||||
15 | paid under State or federal law for purely educational | ||||||

17 | similar third party from an otherwise valid obligation to | ||||||
18 | provide or to pay for services provided to a child with a | ||||||
19 | disability. | ||||||
20 | (e) Coverage under this Section for children under age 19 | ||||||
21 | shall not apply to treatment of mental or emotional disorders | ||||||
22 | or illnesses as covered under Section 370 of this Code as well | ||||||
23 | as any other benefit based upon a specific diagnosis that may | ||||||
24 | be otherwise required by law. | ||||||
25 | (f) The provisions of this Section do not apply to | ||||||
26 | short-term travel, accident-only, limited, or specific disease |

3 | subject to appeal and external independent review procedures as | ||||||
4 | provided by Section 45 of the Managed Care Reform and Patient | ||||||

7 | under whose supervision the habilitative services are being | ||||||
8 | provided shall furnish medical records, clinical notes, or | ||||||
9 | other necessary data to allow the insurer to substantiate that | ||||||
10 | initial or continued medical treatment is medically necessary | ||||||
11 | and that the patient's condition is clinically improving. When | ||||||
12 | the treating provider anticipates that continued treatment is | ||||||
13 | or will be required to permit the patient to achieve | ||||||
14 | demonstrable progress, the insurer may request that the | ||||||
15 | provider furnish a treatment plan consisting of diagnosis, | ||||||
16 | proposed treatment by type, frequency, anticipated duration of | ||||||
17 | treatment, the anticipated goals of treatment, and how | ||||||
18 | frequently the treatment plan will be updated. | ||||||

2 | Sec. 356z.17 356z.15 . Wellness coverage. | ||||||
3 | (a) A group or individual policy of accident and health | ||||||
4 | insurance or managed care plan amended, delivered, issued, or | ||||||
5 | renewed after January 1, 2010 ( the effective date of Public Act | ||||||
6 | 96-639) this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly that | ||||||
7 | provides coverage for hospital or medical treatment on an | ||||||
8 | expense incurred basis may offer a reasonably designed program | ||||||
9 | for wellness coverage that allows for a reward, a contribution, | ||||||
10 | a reduction in premiums or reduced medical, prescription drug, | ||||||
11 | or equipment copayments, coinsurance, or deductibles, or a | ||||||
12 | combination of these incentives, for participation in any | ||||||
13 | health behavior wellness, maintenance, or improvement program | ||||||
14 | approved or offered by the insurer or managed care plan. The | ||||||
15 | insured or enrollee may be required to provide evidence of | ||||||
16 | participation in a program. Individuals unable to participate | ||||||
17 | in these incentives due to an adverse health factor shall not | ||||||
18 | be penalized based upon an adverse health status. | ||||||
19 | (b) For purposes of this Section, "wellness coverage" means | ||||||
20 | health care coverage with the primary purpose to engage and | ||||||
21 | motivate the insured or enrollee through: incentives; | ||||||
22 | provision of health education, counseling, and self-management | ||||||
23 | skills; identification of modifiable health risks; and other | ||||||
24 | activities to influence health behavior changes. | ||||||
25 | For the purposes of this Section, "reasonably designed |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | program" means a program of wellness coverage that has a | ||||||
2 | reasonable chance of improving health or preventing disease; is | ||||||
3 | not overly burdensome; does not discriminate based upon factors | ||||||
4 | of health; and is not otherwise contrary to law. | ||||||
5 | (c) Incentives as outlined in this Section are specific and | ||||||
6 | unique to the offering of wellness coverage and have no | ||||||
7 | application to any other required or optional health care | ||||||
8 | benefit. | ||||||
9 | (d) Such wellness coverage must satisfy the requirements | ||||||
10 | for an exception from the general prohibition against | ||||||
11 | discrimination based on a health factor under the federal | ||||||
12 | Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 | ||||||
13 | (P.L. 104-191; 110 Stat. 1936), including any federal | ||||||
14 | regulations that are adopted pursuant to that Act. | ||||||
15 | (e) A plan offering wellness coverage must do the | ||||||
16 | following: | ||||||
17 | (i) give participants the opportunity to qualify for | ||||||
18 | offered incentives at least once a year; | ||||||
19 | (ii) allow a reasonable alternative to any individual | ||||||
20 | for whom it is unreasonably difficult, due to a medical | ||||||
21 | condition, to satisfy otherwise applicable wellness | ||||||
22 | program standards. Plans may seek physician verification | ||||||
23 | that health factors make it unreasonably difficult or | ||||||
24 | medically inadvisable for the participant to satisfy the | ||||||
25 | standards; and | ||||||
26 | (iii) not provide a total incentive that exceeds 20% of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the cost of employee-only coverage. The cost of | ||||||
2 | employee-only coverage includes both employer and employee | ||||||
3 | contributions. For plans offering family coverage, the 20% | ||||||
4 | limitation applies to cost of family coverage and applies | ||||||
5 | to the entire family. | ||||||
6 | (f) A reward, contribution, or reduction established under | ||||||
7 | this Section and included in the policy or certificate does not | ||||||
8 | violate Section 151 of this Code.

2 | (b) This amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly shall | ||||||
3 | provide benefits to any person covered thereunder for expenses | ||||||
4 | incurred in obtaining a prosthetic or custom orthotic device | ||||||

20 | services, including review of medical necessity, case | ||||||
21 | management, and experimental and investigational treatments, | ||||||
22 | and other managed care provisions under terms and conditions | ||||||
23 | that are no less favorable than the terms and conditions that | ||||||
24 | apply to substantially all medical and surgical benefits | ||||||
25 | provided under the plan or coverage. | ||||||
26 | (d) The policy or plan or contract may require prior |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | authorization for the prosthetic or orthotic devices in the | ||||||
2 | same manner that prior authorization is required for any other | ||||||
3 | covered benefit. | ||||||
4 | (e) Repairs and replacements of prosthetic and orthotic | ||||||
5 | devices are also covered, subject to the co-payments and | ||||||
6 | deductibles, unless necessitated by misuse or loss. | ||||||
7 | (f) A policy or plan or contract may require that, if | ||||||
8 | coverage is provided through a managed care plan, the benefits | ||||||
9 | mandated pursuant to this Section shall be covered benefits | ||||||
10 | only if the prosthetic or orthotic devices are provided by a | ||||||
11 | licensed provider employed by a provider service who contracts | ||||||
12 | with or is designated by the carrier, to the extent that the | ||||||
13 | carrier provides in-network and out of network service, the | ||||||
