Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Insurance Code. Provides that every policy of accident and health insurance amended, delivered, issued, or renewed after the effective date of the amendatory Act that provides coverage for prescription drugs shall provide for synchronization of prescription drug refills on at least one occasion per insured per year provided that certain conditions are met. Requires insurers to provide prorated daily cost-sharing rates when necessary. Makes conforming changes in the State Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971, the Counties Code, the Illinois Municipal Code, the School Code, the Health Maintenance Organization Act, the Limited Health Services Organization Act, the Voluntary Health Services Plan Act, and the Illinois Public Aid Code. Effective immediately.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
In provisions amending the Illinois Insurance Code, defines "synchronization" to mean the coordination of medication refills for a patient taking 2 or more medications for one or more chronic conditions (rather than for a chronic condition) such that the patient's medications are refilled on the same schedule for a given time period. For a policy of health and accident insurance to provide for synchronization of prescriptions drug refills, the prescription drugs must be covered by the policy's clinical coverage policy or have been approved by a formulary exceptions process, among other specified conditions.
