SB0667eng 101ST GENERAL ASSEMBLY

SB0667 Engrossed LRB101 04428 SMS 49436 b

AN ACT concerning regulation.

Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, represented in the General Assembly:

Section 1. Findings. The General Assembly finds and declares that:

(1) Diabetes affects approximately 1,300,000 adults in Illinois (12.5% of the population);

(2) Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death nationally and in Illinois;

(3) The toll on the U.S. economy has increased by more than 40% since 2007, costing the country $245,000,000,000 in 2012;

(4) When someone has diabetes, the body either does not make enough insulin or is unable to use its own insulin, causing glucose levels to rise higher than normal in the blood;

(5) For people with Type 1 diabetes, near-constant self-management of glucose levels is essential to prevent life-threatening complications;

(6) From 2012 to 2016, the average price of insulin increased from 13 cents per unit to 25 cents per unit; therefore,

It is necessary for the State to enact laws to reduce the costs for Illinoisans with diabetes and increase their access to life-saving and life-sustaining insulin.

(f) Coverage shall be provided for regular foot care exams by a physician or by a physician to whom a physician has referred the patient. Coverage for regular foot care exams shall be subject to the same deductible, co-payment, and co-insurance provisions that apply under the policy for other services provided by the same type of provider.

(g) If authorized by a physician, diabetes self-management training may be provided as a part of an office visit, group setting, or home visit.
