HANNIG. 305 ILCS 5/5-11 from Ch. 23, par. 5-11 Amends the Medical Assistance Article of the Illinois Public Aid Code. In provisions authorizing the Department of Public Aid to enter into contracts with public or private organizations to act for it in supplying medical services to those eligible under this Article, provides that any contracts for the provision of emergency services shall provide that emergency services are those health care services for a medical condition of recent onset and severity that would lead a prudent lay person, possessing an average knowledge of medicine and health, to believe that emergent medical care is required. Provides that determination of levels of care by such organizations shall be based upon the symptoms and condition of the recipient at initial examination by the physician and not upon the final determination of the recipient's actual medical condition. 98-02-17 H FILED WITH CLERK 98-02-17 H FIRST READING 98-02-17 H REFERRED TO HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE RULES 99-01-12 H SESSION SINE DIE END OF INQUIRY Full Text Bill Summary
