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.
(305 ILCS 5/5-4.1) (from Ch. 23, par. 5-4.1)
Sec. 5-4.1. Co-payments. The Department may by rule provide that recipients under any Article of this Code shall pay a federally approved fee as a co-payment for services. No
co-payment requirement can exist
for renal dialysis, radiation therapy, cancer chemotherapy, or insulin, and
other products necessary on a recurring basis, the absence of which would
be life threatening, or where co-payment expenditures for required services
and/or medications for chronic diseases that the Illinois Department shall
by rule designate shall cause an extensive financial burden on the
recipient, and provided no co-payment shall exist for emergency room
encounters which are for medical emergencies. The Department shall seek approval of a State plan amendment that allows pharmacies to refuse to dispense drugs in circumstances where the recipient does not pay the required co-payment. Co-payments may not exceed $10 for emergency room use for a non-emergency situation as defined by the Department by rule and subject to federal approval.
