Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS)

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.

    Sec. 356z.77. Coverage of vaccination administration fees.
    (a) A group or individual policy of accident and health insurance or a managed care plan that is amended, delivered, issued, or renewed on or after January 1, 2026 shall provide coverage for vaccinations for COVID-19, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus, including the administration of the vaccine by a pharmacist or health care provider authorized to administer such a vaccine, without imposing a deductible, coinsurance, copayment, or any other cost-sharing requirement, if the following conditions are met:
        (1) the vaccine is authorized or licensed by the
    
United States Food and Drug Administration; and
        (2) the vaccine is ordered and administered according
    
to the State Guidelines for Communicable Disease Prevention issued by the Director of Public Health pursuant to Section 1.2 of the Communicable Disease Prevention Act or the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices standard immunization schedule.
    (b) If the vaccinations provided for in subsection (a) are not otherwise available to be administered by a contracted pharmacist or health care provider, the group or individual policy of accident and health insurance or a managed care plan shall cover the vaccination, including administration fees, without imposing a deductible, coinsurance, copayment, or any other cost-sharing requirement.
    (c) The coverage required in this Section does not apply to the extent that the coverage would disqualify a high-deductible health plan from eligibility for a health savings account pursuant to Section 223 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
