follows:
| ||
(215 ILCS 5/356z.4)
| ||
Sec. 356z.4. Coverage for contraceptives. | ||
(a)(1) The General Assembly hereby finds and declares all | ||
of the following: |
(A) Illinois has a long history of expanding timely | ||
access to birth control to prevent unintended pregnancy. | ||
(B) The federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care | ||
Act includes a contraceptive coverage guarantee as part of | ||
a broader requirement for health insurance to cover key | ||
preventive care services without out-of-pocket costs for | ||
patients. | ||
(C) The General Assembly intends to build on existing | ||
State and federal law to promote gender equity and women's | ||
health and to ensure greater contraceptive coverage equity | ||
and timely access to all federal Food and Drug | ||
Administration approved methods of birth control for all | ||
individuals covered by an individual or group health | ||
insurance policy in Illinois. | ||
(D) Medical management techniques such as denials, | ||
step therapy, or prior authorization in public and private | ||
health care coverage can impede access to the most | ||
effective contraceptive methods. | ||
(2) As used in this subsection (a): | ||
"Contraceptive services" includes consultations, | ||
examinations, procedures, and medical services related to the | ||
use of contraceptive methods (including natural family | ||
planning) to prevent an unintended pregnancy. | ||
"Medical necessity", for the purposes of this subsection | ||
(a), includes, but is not limited to, considerations such as | ||
severity of side effects, differences in permanence and |
reversibility of contraceptive, and ability to adhere to the | ||
appropriate use of the item or service, as determined by the | ||
attending provider. | ||
"Therapeutic equivalent version" means drugs, devices, or | ||
products that can be expected to have the same clinical effect | ||
and safety profile when administered to patients under the | ||
conditions specified in the labeling and satisfy the following | ||
general criteria: | ||
(i) they are approved as safe and effective; | ||
(ii) they are pharmaceutical equivalents in that they | ||
(A) contain identical amounts of the same active drug | ||
ingredient in the same dosage form and route of | ||
administration and (B) meet compendial or other applicable | ||
standards of strength, quality, purity, and identity; | ||
(iii) they are bioequivalent in that (A) they do not | ||
present a known or potential bioequivalence problem and | ||
they meet an acceptable in vitro standard or (B) if they do | ||
present such a known or potential problem, they are shown | ||
to meet an appropriate bioequivalence standard; | ||
(iv) they are adequately labeled; and | ||
(v) they are manufactured in compliance with Current | ||
Good Manufacturing Practice regulations. | ||
(3) An individual or group policy of accident and health | ||
insurance amended,
delivered, issued, or renewed in this State | ||
after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 99th | ||
General Assembly shall provide coverage for all of the |
following services and contraceptive methods: | ||
(A) All contraceptive drugs, devices, and other | ||
products approved by the United States Food and Drug | ||
Administration. This includes all over-the-counter | ||
contraceptive drugs, devices, and products approved by the | ||
United States Food and Drug Administration, excluding male | ||
condoms , except as provided in the current comprehensive | ||
guidelines supported by the Health Resources and Services | ||
Administration . The following apply: | ||
(i) If the United States Food and Drug | ||
Administration has approved one or more therapeutic | ||
equivalent versions of a contraceptive drug, device, | ||
or product, a policy is not required to include all | ||
such therapeutic equivalent versions in its formulary, | ||
so long as at least one is included and covered without | ||
cost-sharing and in accordance with this Section. | ||
(ii) If an individual's attending provider | ||
recommends a particular service or item approved by | ||
the United States Food and Drug Administration based | ||
on a determination of medical necessity with respect | ||
to that individual, the plan or issuer must cover that | ||
service or item without cost sharing. The plan or | ||
issuer must defer to the determination of the | ||
attending provider. | ||
(iii) If a drug, device, or product is not | ||
covered, plans and issuers must have an easily |
accessible, transparent, and sufficiently expedient | ||
process that is not unduly burdensome on the | ||
individual or a provider or other individual acting as | ||
a patient's authorized representative to ensure | ||
coverage without cost sharing. | ||
(iv) This coverage must provide for the dispensing | ||
of 12 months' worth of contraception at one time. | ||
(B) Voluntary sterilization procedures. | ||
(C) Contraceptive services, patient education, and | ||
counseling on contraception. | ||
(D) Follow-up services related to the drugs, devices, | ||
products, and procedures covered under this Section, | ||
including, but not limited to, management of side effects, | ||
counseling for continued adherence, and device insertion | ||
and removal. | ||
(4) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection (a), a | ||
policy subject to this subsection (a) shall not impose a | ||
deductible, coinsurance, copayment, or any other cost-sharing | ||
requirement on the coverage provided. The provisions of this | ||
paragraph do not apply to coverage of voluntary male | ||
sterilization procedures to the extent such coverage would | ||
disqualify a high-deductible health plan from eligibility for | ||
a health savings account pursuant to the federal Internal | ||
Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C. 223. | ||
(5) Except as otherwise authorized under this subsection | ||
(a), a policy shall not impose any restrictions or delays on |
the coverage required under this subsection (a). | ||
(6) If, at any time, the Secretary of the United States | ||
Department of Health and Human Services, or its successor | ||
agency, promulgates rules or regulations to be published in | ||
the Federal Register or publishes a comment in the Federal | ||
Register or issues an opinion, guidance, or other action that | ||
would require the State, pursuant to any provision of the | ||
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law | ||
111-148), including, but not limited to, 42 U.S.C. | ||
18031(d)(3)(B) or any successor provision, to defray the cost | ||
of any coverage outlined in this subsection (a), then this | ||
subsection (a) is inoperative with respect to all coverage | ||
outlined in this subsection (a) other than that authorized | ||
under Section 1902 of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. | ||
1396a, and the State shall not assume any obligation for the | ||
cost of the coverage set forth in this subsection (a). | ||
(b) This subsection (b) shall become operative if and only | ||
if subsection (a) becomes inoperative. | ||
An individual or group policy of accident and health | ||
insurance amended,
delivered, issued, or renewed in this State | ||
after the date this subsection (b) becomes operative that | ||
provides coverage for
outpatient services and outpatient | ||
prescription drugs or devices must provide
coverage for the | ||
insured and any
dependent of the
insured covered by the policy | ||
for all outpatient contraceptive services and
all outpatient | ||
contraceptive drugs and devices approved by the Food and
Drug |
Administration. Coverage required under this Section may not | ||
impose any
deductible, coinsurance, waiting period, or other | ||
cost-sharing or limitation
that is greater than that required | ||
for any outpatient service or outpatient
prescription drug or | ||
device otherwise covered by the policy.
| ||
Nothing in this subsection (b) shall be construed to | ||
require an insurance
company to cover services related to | ||
permanent sterilization that requires a
surgical procedure. | ||
As used in this subsection (b), "outpatient contraceptive | ||
service" means
consultations, examinations, procedures, and | ||
medical services, provided on an
outpatient basis and related | ||
to the use of contraceptive methods (including
natural family | ||
planning) to prevent an unintended pregnancy.
| ||
(c) (Blank).
| ||
(d) If a plan or issuer utilizes a network of providers, | ||
nothing in this Section shall be construed to require coverage | ||
or to prohibit the plan or issuer from imposing cost-sharing | ||
for items or services described in this Section that are | ||
provided or delivered by an out-of-network provider, unless | ||
the plan or issuer does not have in its network a provider who | ||
is able to or is willing to provide the applicable items or | ||
services.

| ||
(215 ILCS 5/356z.62 new) | ||
Sec. 356z.62. Coverage of preventive health services. |
(a) A policy of group health insurance coverage or | ||
individual health insurance coverage as defined in Section 5 | ||
of the Illinois Health Insurance Portability and | ||
Accountability Act shall, at a minimum, provide coverage for | ||
and shall not impose any cost-sharing requirements, including | ||
a copayment, coinsurance, or deductible, for: | ||
(1) evidence-based items or services that have in | ||
effect a rating of "A" or "B" in the current | ||
recommendations of the United States Preventive Services | ||
Task Force; | ||
(2) immunizations that have in effect a recommendation | ||
from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of | ||
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention with | ||
respect to the individual involved; | ||
(3) with respect to infants, children, and | ||
adolescents, evidence-informed preventive care and | ||
screenings provided for in the comprehensive guidelines | ||
supported by the Health Resources and Services | ||
Administration; and | ||
(4) with respect to women, such additional preventive | ||
care and screenings not described in paragraph (1) of this | ||
subsection (a) as provided for in comprehensive guidelines | ||
supported by the Health Resources and Services | ||
Administration for purposes of this paragraph. | ||
(b) For purposes of this Section, and for purposes of any | ||
other provision of State law, recommendations of the United |
States Preventive Services Task Force regarding breast cancer | ||
screening, mammography, and prevention issued in or around | ||
November 2009 are not considered to be current. | ||
(c) For office visits: | ||
(1) if an item or service described in subsection (a) | ||
is billed separately or is tracked as individual encounter | ||
data separately from an office visit, then a policy may | ||
impose cost-sharing requirements with respect to the | ||
office visit; | ||
(2) if an item or service described in subsection (a) | ||
is not billed separately or is not tracked as individual | ||
encounter data separately from an office visit and the | ||
primary purpose of the office visit is the delivery of | ||
such an item or service, then a policy may not impose | ||
cost-sharing requirements with respect to the office | ||
visit; and | ||
(3) if an item or service described in subsection (a) | ||
is not billed separately or is not tracked as individual | ||
encounter data separately from an office visit and the | ||
primary purpose of the office visit is not the delivery of | ||
such an item or service, then a policy may impose | ||
cost-sharing requirements with respect to the office | ||
visit. | ||
(d) A policy must provide coverage pursuant to subsection | ||
(a) for plan or policy years that begin on or after the date | ||
that is one year after the date the recommendation or |
guideline is issued. If a recommendation or guideline is in | ||
effect on the first day of the plan or policy year, the policy | ||
shall cover the items and services specified in the | ||
recommendation or guideline through the last day of the plan | ||
or policy year unless either: | ||
(1) a recommendation under paragraph (1) of subsection | ||
(a) is downgraded to a "D" rating; or | ||
(2) the item or service is subject to a safety recall | ||
or is otherwise determined to pose a significant safety | ||
concern by a federal agency authorized to regulate the | ||
item or service during the plan or policy year. | ||
(e) Network limitations. | ||
(1) Subject to paragraph (3) of this subsection, | ||
nothing in this Section requires coverage for items or | ||
services described in subsection (a) that are delivered by | ||
an out-of-network provider under a health maintenance | ||
organization health care plan, other than a | ||
point-of-service contract, or under a voluntary health | ||
services plan that generally excludes coverage for | ||
out-of-network services except as otherwise required by | ||
law. | ||
(2) Subject to paragraph (3) of this subsection, | ||
nothing in this Section precludes a policy with a | ||
preferred provider program under Article XX-1/2 of this | ||
Code, a health maintenance organization point-of-service | ||
contract, or a similarly designed voluntary health |
services plan from imposing cost-sharing requirements for | ||
items or services described in subsection (a) that are | ||
delivered by an out-of-network provider. | ||
(3) If a policy does not have in its network a provider | ||
who can provide an item or service described in subsection | ||
(a), then the policy must cover the item or service when | ||
performed by an out-of-network provider and it may not | ||
impose cost-sharing with respect to the item or service. | ||
(f) Nothing in this Section prevents a company from using | ||
reasonable medical management techniques to determine the | ||
frequency, method, treatment, or setting for an item or | ||
service described in subsection (a) to the extent not | ||
specified in the recommendation or guideline. | ||
(g) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to prohibit | ||
a policy from providing coverage for items or services in | ||
addition to those required under subsection (a) or from | ||
denying coverage for items or services that are not required | ||
under subsection (a). Unless prohibited by other law, a policy | ||
may impose cost-sharing requirements for a treatment not | ||
described in subsection (a) even if the treatment results from | ||
an item or service described in subsection (a). Nothing in | ||
this Section shall be construed to limit coverage requirements | ||
provided under other law. | ||
(h) The Director may develop guidelines to permit a | ||
company to utilize value-based insurance designs. In the | ||
absence of guidelines developed by the Director, any such |
guidelines developed by the Secretary of the U.S. Department | ||
of Health and Human Services that are in force under 42 U.S.C. | ||
300gg-13 shall apply. | ||
(i) For student health insurance coverage as defined at 45 | ||
CFR 147.145, student administrative health fees are not | ||
considered cost-sharing requirements with respect to | ||
preventive services specified under subsection (a). As used in | ||
this subsection, "student administrative health fee" means a | ||
fee charged by an institution of higher education on a | ||
periodic basis to its students to offset the cost of providing | ||
health care through health clinics regardless of whether the | ||
students utilize the health clinics or enroll in student | ||
health insurance coverage. | ||
(j) For any recommendation or guideline specifically | ||
referring to women or men, a company shall not deny or limit | ||
the coverage required or a claim made under subsection (a) | ||
based solely on the individual's recorded sex or actual or | ||
perceived gender identity, or for the reason that the | ||
individual is gender nonconforming, intersex, transgender, or | ||
has undergone, or is in the process of undergoing, gender | ||
transition, if, notwithstanding the sex or gender assigned at | ||
birth, the covered individual meets the conditions for the | ||
recommendation or guideline at the time the item or service is | ||
furnished. | ||
(k) This Section does not apply to grandfathered health | ||
plans, excepted benefits, or short-term, limited-duration |
health insurance coverage. | ||
Section 40. The Health Maintenance Organization Act is | ||
amended by changing Section 5-3 as follows:

| ||
(b) For purposes of the Illinois Insurance Code, except | ||
for Sections 444
and 444.1 and Articles XIII and XIII 1/2, |
Health Maintenance Organizations in
the following categories | ||
are deemed to be "domestic companies":
| ||
(1) a corporation authorized under the
Dental Service | ||
Plan Act or the Voluntary Health Services Plans Act;
| ||
(2) a corporation organized under the laws of this | ||
State; or
| ||
(3) a corporation organized under the laws of another | ||
state, 30% or more
of the enrollees of which are residents | ||
of this State, except a
corporation subject to | ||
substantially the same requirements in its state of
| ||
organization as is a "domestic company" under Article VIII | ||
1/2 of the
Illinois Insurance Code.
| ||
(c) In considering the merger, consolidation, or other | ||
acquisition of
control of a Health Maintenance Organization | ||
pursuant to Article VIII 1/2
of the Illinois Insurance Code,
| ||
(1) the Director shall give primary consideration to | ||
the continuation of
benefits to enrollees and the | ||
financial conditions of the acquired Health
Maintenance | ||
Organization after the merger, consolidation, or other
| ||
acquisition of control takes effect;
| ||
(2)(i) the criteria specified in subsection (1)(b) of | ||
Section 131.8 of
the Illinois Insurance Code shall not | ||
apply and (ii) the Director, in making
his determination | ||
with respect to the merger, consolidation, or other
| ||
acquisition of control, need not take into account the | ||
effect on
competition of the merger, consolidation, or |
other acquisition of control;
| ||
(3) the Director shall have the power to require the | ||
following
information:
| ||
(A) certification by an independent actuary of the | ||
adequacy
of the reserves of the Health Maintenance | ||
Organization sought to be acquired;
| ||
(B) pro forma financial statements reflecting the | ||
combined balance
sheets of the acquiring company and | ||

acquired for a period of not less than 3 years; and
| ||
(D) such other information as the Director shall | ||
require.
| ||
(d) The provisions of Article VIII 1/2 of the Illinois | ||

| ||
(e) In considering any management contract or service |
agreement subject
to Section 141.1 of the Illinois Insurance | ||
Code, the Director (i) shall, in
addition to the criteria | ||
specified in Section 141.2 of the Illinois
Insurance Code, | ||
take into account the effect of the management contract or
| ||
service agreement on the continuation of benefits to enrollees | ||
and the
financial condition of the health maintenance | ||
organization to be managed or
serviced, and (ii) need not take | ||
into account the effect of the management
contract or service | ||
agreement on competition.
| ||
(f) Except for small employer groups as defined in the | ||
Small Employer
Rating, Renewability and Portability Health | ||
Insurance Act and except for
medicare supplement policies as | ||

(i) the amount of, and other terms and conditions with | ||
respect to, the
refund or additional premium are set forth | ||
in the group or enrollment unit
contract agreed in advance | ||
of the period for which a refund is to be paid or

additional premium is to be charged (which period shall | ||
not be less than one
year); and
| ||
(ii) the amount of the refund or additional premium | ||
shall not exceed 20%
of the Health Maintenance | ||
Organization's profitable or unprofitable experience
with | ||
respect to the group or other enrollment unit for the |
period (and, for
purposes of a refund or additional | ||
premium, the profitable or unprofitable
experience shall | ||
be calculated taking into account a pro rata share of the
| ||
Health Maintenance Organization's administrative and | ||
marketing expenses, but
shall not include any refund to be | ||
made or additional premium to be paid
pursuant to this | ||
subsection (f)). The Health Maintenance Organization and | ||
the
group or enrollment unit may agree that the profitable | ||
or unprofitable
experience may be calculated taking into | ||
account the refund period and the
immediately preceding 2 | ||
plan years.
| ||
The Health Maintenance Organization shall include a | ||
statement in the
evidence of coverage issued to each enrollee | ||
describing the possibility of a
refund or additional premium, | ||
and upon request of any group or enrollment unit,
provide to | ||
the group or enrollment unit a description of the method used | ||

the resulting
additional premium to be paid by the group or | ||
enrollment unit.

In no event shall the Illinois Health Maintenance | ||
Organization
Guaranty Association be liable to pay any | ||
contractual obligation of an
insolvent organization to pay any |
refund authorized under this Section.
| ||
(g) Rulemaking authority to implement Public Act 95-1045, | ||

Section 50. The Medical Practice Act of 1987 is amended by | ||

permits.
| ||
(A) Visiting professor permit.
| ||
(1) A visiting professor permit shall
entitle a person | ||
to practice medicine in all of its branches
or to practice | ||
the treatment of human ailments without the
use of drugs | ||
and without operative surgery provided:
| ||
(a) the person maintains an equivalent | ||
authorization
to practice medicine in all of its | ||
branches or to practice
the treatment of human | ||
ailments without the use of drugs
and without | ||
operative surgery in good standing in his or her
| ||
native licensing jurisdiction during the period of the
| ||
visiting professor permit;
| ||
(b) the person has received a faculty appointment | ||
to
teach in a medical, osteopathic or chiropractic | ||
school in
Illinois; and
| ||
(c) the Department may prescribe the information | ||
necessary to
establish
an applicant's eligibility for | ||
a permit. This information shall include
without | ||
limitation (i) a statement from the dean of the |
medical school at which
the
applicant will be employed | ||
describing the applicant's qualifications and (ii)
a | ||
statement from the dean of the medical school listing | ||
every affiliated
institution in which the applicant | ||
will be providing instruction as part of the
medical | ||
school's education program and justifying any clinical | ||

| ||
(2) Application for visiting professor permits shall
| ||
be made to the Department, in writing, on forms prescribed
| ||
by the Department and shall be accompanied by the required
| ||
fee established by rule, which shall not be refundable. | ||
Any application
shall require the information as, in the | ||
judgment of the Department, will
enable the Department to | ||
pass on the qualifications of the applicant.
| ||
(3) A visiting professor permit shall be valid for no | ||
longer than 2
years from the date of issuance or until the | ||
time the
faculty appointment is terminated, whichever | ||
