Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the State Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971, Counties Code, Illinois Municipal Code, Illinois Public Aid Code, and Illinois Insurance Code to provide that accident and health insurance policies and managed care plans shall cover all services ordered by a physician and provided in a hospital that are considered medically necessary. Amends the Medical Patient Rights Act. Includes limited health service organizations and voluntary health services plan in the definition of "insurance company". Effective immediately.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Deletes reference to:
305 ILCS 5/5-16.8

Removes amendatory changes to the Medical Assistance Article of the Illinois Public Aid Code requiring the State's medical assistance program to provide coverage for all services ordered by a physician and provided in a hospital that are considered medically necessary for the evaluation, assessment, and diagnosis of the illness or condition that resulted in the hospital stay.

 Fiscal Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Dept of Insurance)
 It is unclear if this legislation would be considered an expansion of services. However, as a result of the requirements brought about by this legislation, the Department would need to add, at minimum, two (2) full time staff within the External Review & Director Appeal Unit at an annual cost of $230,300, as the legislation would require that all disputed claims now be sent through the review process. This would require additional staff in an effort to handle these additional reviews and/or appeals.

 State Mandates Fiscal Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Dept. of Commerce & Economic Opportunity)
 This legislation does not create a State mandate.
