Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the State Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971, the Counties Code, the Illinois Municipal Code, the School Code, the Illinois Insurance Code, the Health Maintenance Organization Act, and the Voluntary Health Services Plans Act to provide coverage for habilitative services, including, but not limited to occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech therapy for children under the age of 19 with congenital or genetic defects existing at or from birth or with a defect acquired at a young age. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement.

House Amendment No. 1
Provides that there is no rulemaking authority under the amendatory Act, but that the Governor may suggest rules by filing them with the General Assembly and requesting that the General Assembly authorize such rulemaking by law, enact the suggested rules into law, or take other appropriate action in the General Assembly's discretion.

House Amendment No. 2
Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the bill as amended by House Amendment No. 1 with the following changes: provides for coverage for habilitative services for children under 19 years of age with a congenital, genetic, or early acquired disorder (was congenital or genetic defect existing at or from birth or a defect acquired at a young age); provides conditions for the coverage; makes changes in the definition of "habilitative services"; sets forth general exclusions and limitations of the coverage; and provides that upon request of the reimbursing insurer, the provider under whose supervision the habilitative services are being provided shall furnish medical records, clinical notes, or other necessary data to allow the insurer to substantiate that initial or continued medical treatment is medically necessary and that the patient's condition is clinically improving.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Deletes provision concerning rulemaking.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 3
Adds reference to:
215 ILCS 5/370cfrom Ch. 73, par. 982c

Provides that provisions concerning mental and emotional disorders shall not be interpreted to require coverage for speech therapy or other habilitative services for those individuals covered under the provisions of the Illinois Insurance Code concerning the policies for habilitative services for children.
