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 5/5H-8

    (305 ILCS 5/5H-8)
    Sec. 5H-8. Duties of the Department.

(a)  The Department shall ensure that rates to Medicaid managed care organizations are actuarially sound including appropriate incorporation of assessments under this Article, other taxes and administrative expenses, including standardization of processes, and cost of medical care.

(b)  The Department shall pay to each Medicaid managed care organization the amount required to be included in its rates due to the assessment under this Article in order to ensure actuarial soundness within 10 business days of receipt of each assessment payment from the Medicaid managed care organization.  The Department shall extend the deadline for any assessment payment due after the initial assessment payment if the payment to the managed care organizations under this subsection for the previous assessment payment has not been paid.  Such extension shall extend until 7 business days after receipt by the managed care organization of the late payment under this subsection.

(c)  Reimbursement of assessments paid under this Article shall not be required to count as revenue towards any calculation of the managed care organization's medical loss ratio, net worth, risk based capital or other deposit requirements as may otherwise be required under the Insurance Code. Such  reimbursements will be considered revenue in calculating the 6% limit under 42 U.S.C. 433.68(f)(3).

(d)  The Department shall include in its annual report, beginning with its fiscal year 2020 report, and every year thereafter, information on the revenues collected from this assessment, the federal funds drawn based on those revenues, the rates set in Section 5H-3 or any alterations thereof by administrative rule, and other impacts this gross revenue has had on the Medicaid program.
