Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

210 ILCS 135/13.3

(210 ILCS 135/13.3)
Sec. 13.3. Community-integrated living arrangement per diem reimbursement.

As used in this Section, "medical absence" means a situation in which a resident is temporarily absent from a community-integrated living arrangement to receive medical treatment or for other reasons that have been recommended by third-party medical personnel, including, but not limited to, hospitalizations, placements in short-term stabilization homes or State-operated facilities, stays in nursing facilities, rehabilitation in long-term care facilities, or other absences for legitimate medical reasons.

Beginning January 1, 2025, the Department's Division of Developmental Disabilities shall provide 100% of the per diem reimbursement to a 24-hour community-integrated living arrangement provider for up to 20 days for any resident requiring a medical absence. During the medical absence, the provider shall hold the bed for the resident. After the medical absence, the resident shall return to the community-integrated living arrangement when the resident is medically able to return in order for the provider to receive the full per diem reimbursement for the absent days. The per diem reimbursement shall be in addition to the existing occupancy factor policy set by the Division of Developmental Disabilities.
