House Floor Amendment No. 2
Deletes reference to:
305 ILCS 5/5-36 new

Further amends the Illinois Insurance Code. Permits a group or individual policy of accident and health insurance or managed care plan amended, delivered, issued, or renewed on or after the effective date of the amendatory Act to provide coverage for recovery housing for persons with substance use disorders (rather than provide coverage for residential extended care services and supports for persons suffering from alcoholism or other drug addiction) who are at risk of a relapse (rather than who are at risk of a drug or alcohol relapse) following discharge from a health care clinic, federally qualified health center, hospital withdrawal management program or any other licensed withdrawal management program (rather than a hospital detoxification program or any other licensed detoxification program), or hospital emergency department so long as certain conditions are met, including that: (i) an individualized assessment, using criteria established by the American Society of Addiction Medicine, has been conducted on the person prior to discharge and the person has been identified as being at risk of a relapse and in need of supportive services, including employment and training and case management, to maintain long-term recovery; and (ii) recovery housing is administered by a community-based agency that is licensed by or under contract with the Department of Human Services, Division of Substance Use Prevention and Recovery. Provides that the services available for coverage include substance use disorder treatment services (rather than drug or alcohol treatment services) that are in accordance with licensure standards promulgated by the Department of Human Services, Division of Substance Use Prevention and Recovery. Permits the insurer (rather than require the Department of Insurance and other specified State agencies) to rate each community-based agency that is licensed by or under contract with the Department of Human Services to provide recovery housing based on an evaluation of each agency's ability to: (1) reduce recidivism rates for persons suffering from a substance use disorder; (2) improve the quality of life of persons with substance use disorders through the utilization of sustainable recovery, education, employment, and housing services; and other matters. Permits the insurer (rather than require the Department of Insurance and other specified State agencies) to publish the results of the ratings on its official website. Makes other changes. Removes all changes made to the Illinois Public Aid Code in the introduced bill.
