(20 ILCS 1705/10.1) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 100-10.1)
Sec. 10.1.
Every woman of child-bearing age who
is admitted to a facility under the jurisdiction of the Department shall,
with her consent or the consent of her guardian, be
tested for pregnancy upon admission and thereafter as indicated. For a recipient who is admitted to and remains in a facility for more than 60 days a record
of each such recipient's menstrual cycles shall be maintained. A plan for
complete prenatal care shall be developed and implemented for each
recipient who is found to be pregnant. On-site prenatal care shall be
provided to recipients who are not verbal or who otherwise cannot
communicate with a provider of care because of a severe disability, in
which case the facility administrator shall also seek the consent of the
recipient's legal guardian for special care for the recipient, or shall
arrange for a temporary or limited guardianship of the person of the
recipient for the purpose of obtaining consent to diagnosis and treatment
of the recipient. Discharge planning for a pregnant recipient shall
specifically include provision for continuity of prenatal care.
