Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Long-Term Care Provider Funding Article of the Illinois Public Aid Code. Provides that the assessment imposed on long-term care providers in relation to the number of occupied bed days shall not be billed or passed on to any resident of a nursing home operated by the nursing home provider (rather than may not be added to the charges of an individual's nursing home care that is paid for in whole, or in part, by a federal, State, or combined federal-state medical care program, except those individuals receiving Medicare Part B benefits solely). Effective immediately.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Adds reference to:
305 ILCS 5/5-4.2from Ch. 23, par. 5-4.2
305 ILCS 5/5-5.4from Ch. 23, par. 5-5.4
305 ILCS 5/5B-4from Ch. 23, par. 5B-4
305 ILCS 5/5B-8from Ch. 23, par. 5B-8

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Medical Assistance Article and the Long-Term Care Provider Funding Article of the Illinois Public Aid Code. Requires the Department of Healthcare and Family Services to establish by rule, within a specified time, an appeals process by which ground ambulance service providers of non-emergency medical transportation may appeal any decision by the Department or its agent that either (i) denies a request for approval for payment of non-emergency transportation by means of ground ambulance service or (ii) grants a request for approval of non-emergency transportation by means of ground ambulance service at a level of service that entitles the ground ambulance service provider to a lower level of compensation from the Department than the ambulance service provider would have received as compensation for the level of service requested. Provides that specified increased payments and assessments for long-term care providers are not due and payable until after the Department notifies the long-term care providers, in writing, that the payment methodologies to long-term care providers required under specified provisions of the Code have been approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and that federal waivers for the assessment imposed under specified provisions of the Code have been granted by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Applies similar restrictions on the disbursement of specified money transfers from the Long-Term Care Provider Fund. Provides that the assessment imposed on long-term care providers in relation to the number of occupied bed days shall not be billed or passed on to any resident of a nursing home operated by the nursing home provider (rather than may not be added to the charges of an individual's nursing home care that is paid for in whole, or in part, by a federal, State, or combined federal-state medical care program). Effective immediately.
