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.
(215 ILCS 161/10)
Sec. 10. Noncovered services. (a) No vision care organization that issues, delivers, amends, or renews a vision care plan on or after the effective date of this Act shall issue a contract that requires an eye care provider, as a condition of participation in the vision care plan, to provide services or materials to an enrollee at a fee set by the vision care plan unless the services or materials are covered services or covered materials under the vision care plan. De minimis reimbursements shall not qualify a service or material as a covered service or a covered material under this Act. (b) An eye care provider who chooses not to accept as payment an amount set by a vision care plan for services or materials that are not covered services or covered materials shall post, in a conspicuous place, a notice stating the following: "IMPORTANT: This eye care provider does not accept the fee schedule set by your insurer for vision care services and vision care materials that are not covered benefits under your plan and instead charges his or her normal fee for those services and materials. This eye care provider will provide you with an estimated cost for each noncovered service or noncovered material upon your request."
