Sec. 5-1069.2.
Post-parturition care.
If a county, including a home rule county, is a self-insurer for
purposes of providing health insurance coverage for its employees, the coverage
shall include coverage for the post-parturition care benefits required to be
covered by a policy of accident and health insurance under Section 356s of the
Illinois Insurance Code. The requirement that post-parturition
care be covered as provided in this Section is an exclusive power and function
of the State and is a denial and limitation under Article VII, Section 6,
subsection (h) of the Illinois Constitution. A home rule county to which this
Section applies must comply with every provision of this Section.
