Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance
215 ILCS 134/25

Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Managed Care Reform and Patient Rights Act. In provisions concerning transition of services, provides that the health care plan shall not modify an enrollee's coverage of a drug during the plan year if the drug has been previously approved for coverage by the plan for a medical condition, the plan's prescribing provider continues to prescribe the drug for the medical condition, and the patient continues to be an enrollee of the health care plan. Provides specific prohibited modifications of drug coverage in the health plan. Provides that the provisions do not prohibit a health care plan from requiring a pharmacist to effect generic substitutions of prescription drugs. Provides that the provisions do not prohibit the addition of prescription drugs to a health care plan's list of covered drugs during the coverage year. Provides that the provisions do not apply to a health care plan as defined in the State Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971 or medical assistance under the Illinois Public Aid Code. Effective immediately.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
In language providing that a health care plan is not prohibited from requiring a pharmacist to effect substitutions of prescription drugs, provides that the health care plan is not prohibited from requiring a pharmacist to effect substitutions consistent with provisions from the Pharmacy Practice Act that allow a pharmacist to substitute an interchangeable biologic for a prescribed biologic product and select a generic drug determined to be therapeutically equivalent by the United States Food and Drug Administration and in accordance with the Illinois Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.

 Fiscal Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Dept. of Central Management Services)
 The fiscal impact to the Department of Central Management Services is negligible.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Managed Care Reform and Patient Rights Act. During an enrollee's plan year, prohibits a health care plan from removing a drug from its formulary or negatively changing its preferred or cost-tier sharing unless, at least 60 days before making the formulary change, the health care plan provides certain notifications to current and prospective enrollees and prescribing providers. Provides that the notification to a prescribing provider shall include a one-page form and may direct the provider to an electronic portal through which the provider may certify that coverage of the drug for the enrollee is medically necessary. Provides that if a provider certifies that a drug is medically necessary, the health care plan shall authorize coverage for the drug based solely on the provider's assertion that coverage is medically necessary and prohibits the health care plan from making certain modifications to the coverage related to the covered drug. Provides that the provisions do not prevent a health care plan from removing a drug from its formulary or denying an enrollee coverage if the U.S. Food and Drug Administration calls into question the clinical safety of the drug, the drug manufacturer notifies the U.S. Food and Drug Administration of a manufacturing discontinuance or potential discontinuance, or the drug manufacturer removes the drug from the market. Provides that the provisions do not prohibit a health care plan from requiring a pharmacist to effect generic substitutions of prescription drugs. Provides that the provisions apply to a policy or contract that is amended, delivered, issued, or renewed on or after January 1, 2019. Provides that the provisions do not apply to a health care plan as defined in the State Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971 or medical assistance under the Illinois Public Aid Code. Provides that the provisions concerning transition of services shall not be construed to prohibit the addition of prescription drugs to a health care plan's list of covered drugs during the coverage year. Effective immediately.
