(215 ILCS 115/2) (from Ch. 32, par. 690.72)
Sec. 2.
Any employer, group or organization that pays or contributes
to the premium of a group health insurance plan or a dental service plan
corporation which provides dental coverage to eligible employees or members
of such employer, group or organization only upon the condition that such
employees or members obtain dental services from a list of dentists or
groups of dentists approved by the insurer or dental service corporation
shall provide an alternative plan whereby the employees or members may
obtain services from dentists not on the list approved by such insurer or
dental service corporation. Where an employee or member elects such
alternative plan, the employer, group or organization shall contribute the
same dollar amount toward the payment of dental services under
the alternative plan as such employer, group or organization would
have contributed under the original plan. Nothing in this Section requires
the commingling of costs and claims experience between the two plans.
