Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Medical Assistance Article of the Illinois Public Aid Code. Requires the Department of Healthcare and Family Services to explore, by July 1, 2023, the availability of and, if reasonably available, procure technology that: (i) allows the Department's Medical Electronic Data Interchange (MEDI) system to update recipient eligibility and coverage information for providers in real time; and (ii) allows the Department to transmit updated recipient eligibility and coverage information to managed care organizations under contract with the Department to ensure the information contained in the MEDI system corresponds with the information maintained by managed care organizations in their web-based provider portals. Provides that notwithstanding any provision of this Code to the contrary, in order to recover an overpayment by recoupment or offset of future payments, a managed care organization's post-payment audit of any claim submitted by a provider must be completed no later than 2 years after the claim's payment date. Provides that the 2-year time limit does not apply to claims that are (i) submitted fraudulently, (ii) known, or should have been known, by the provider to be a pattern of inappropriate billing according to standard provider billing practices, or (iii) subject to any federal law or regulation that permits post-payment audits beyond 2 years. Effective immediately.

Provides that notwithstanding any other provision of the Code, in order to recover an overpayment by recoupment or offset of future payments, a managed care organization's post-payment audit of any claim submitted by a provider must be completed no later than one year after the claim's payment date. Provides that the one-year time limit does not apply to claims that are (i) submitted fraudulently, (ii) known, or should have been known, by the provider to be a pattern of inappropriate billing according to standard provider billing practices, or (iii) subject to any federal law or regulation that permits post-payment audits beyond one year.
