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.

305 ILCS 5/5-16.12

(305 ILCS 5/5-16.12)

Sec. 5-16.12.

Managed Care Reform and Patient Rights Act.

The medical
assistance
program and other programs administered by the Department are subject to the
provisions of the Managed Care Reform and Patient Rights Act.
The
Department may adopt rules
to
implement those provisions.  These rules shall require compliance with
that Act in
the medical assistance managed care programs and other programs administered by
the Department.  The medical assistance
fee-for-service program is not subject to the provisions of the Managed Care
Reform and Patient Rights Act.

Nothing in the Managed Care Reform and Patient Rights Act shall be
construed to mean that the Department is a health care plan as defined in that
Act simply because the Department enters into contractual relationships with
health care plans.
