MEDICAID-PAY FOR EPIDURALS                                                 

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Hospital Licensing Act.  Provides that no hospital may      
   promulgate policies or implement practices  that  determine  differing      
   standards of obstetrical care based upon a patient's source of payment      
   or  ability  to pay for medical services and requires each hospital to      
   provide a copy of its written policy reflecting this to the Department      
   of Public Health and to post written notices of  this  policy  in  the      
   obstetrical  admitting  areas of the hospital by July 1, 2001. Amends       
   the Illinois Public Aid Code. Provides that the Department of Public        
   Aid shall provide reimbursement to medical providers for epidural           
   anesthesia services in accordance with the guidelines of the American       
   College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Effective immediately.          
          FISCAL NOTE (Department of Public Health)                            
          HB 245 creates no fiscal impact on the Department of Public          
          Health, but would have an impact upon the Department of Public       
          Aid.
