Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance
215 ILCS 105/7from Ch. 73, par. 1307


Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Comprehensive Health Insurance Plan Act. Provides that coverage under the Plan shall automatically terminate as of the effective date of any medical assistance, except in cases where the effective date of the medical assistance is the date that the application for medical assistance was submitted to the Department of Human Services and that date is different than the date that the applicant is determined to be eligible for medical assistance. Provides that in that circumstance, coverage under the plan shall terminate on the date that the applicant was determined to be eligible for medical assistance. Effective immediately.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Deletes reference to:
215 ILCS 105/7
Adds reference to:
215 ILCS 105/2from Ch. 73, par. 1302

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Comprehensive Health Insurance Plan Act. Defines "effective date of medical assistance" as the date that eligibility for medical assistance for a person is approved by the Department of Human Services or the Department of Healthcare and Family Services, except when the Department of Human Services or the Department of Healthcare and Family Services determines eligibility retroactively. Provides that, in such circumstances, the effective date of the medical assistance is the date the Department of Human Services or the Department of Healthcare and Family Services determines the person to be eligible for medical assistance. Effective immediately.

House Floor Amendment No. 2
Creates the Hospital Uninsured Patient Discount Act. Provides that a hospital, other than a rural hospital or Critical Access Hospital, shall provide a discount from its charges to any uninsured patient who applies for a discount and has family income of not more than 600% of the federal poverty income guidelines for all medically necessary health care services exceeding $300 in any one inpatient admission or outpatient encounter. Provides that a rural hospital or Critical Access Hospital shall provide a discount from its charges to any uninsured patient who applies for a discount and has annual family income of not more than 300% of the federal poverty income guidelines for all medically necessary health care services exceeding $300 in any one inpatient admission or outpatient encounter. Provides that hospitals may make the availability of a discount and the maximum collectible amount under the Act contingent upon the uninsured patient first applying for coverage under public programs, such as Medicare, Medicaid, AllKids, the State Children's Health Insurance Program, or any other program, if there is a reasonable basis to believe that the uninsured patient may be eligible for such program. Provides for exemptions and limitations. Provides for enforcement of the Act by the Attorney General, and provides for the assessment of a civil monetary penalty not to exceed $500 for a hospital's knowing violation of the Act by pattern or practice. Limits the concurrent exercise of home rule powers. Makes a change in the Section numbering. Effective upon becoming law, except that the Hospital Uninsured Patient Discount Act is effective 90 days after becoming law.

Governor Amendatory Veto Message
Recommends that the definition of "uninsured discount factor" mean 1.0 less the product of a hospital's cost to charge ratio multiplied by 1.20 for uninsured patients with family income above 200% of the federal poverty level and 1.0 for uninsured patients with family income at or below 200% of the federal poverty level (instead of just multiplied by 1.35). Makes changes in family income requirements in the provision concerning eligibility for uninsured patient discounts. Provides that for all children with juvenile diabetes, a hospital shall provide children with juvenile diabetes who are admitted for a diagnosis related to juvenile diabetes a 50% discount on any co-pay, coinsurance, or deductible that they would have otherwise owed if such a discount were not available. Deletes certain patient disclosure requirements in the provisions concerning uninsured patient discounts and patient responsibility. Provides that hospitals shall permit an uninsured patient to apply for a discount within 120 days (instead of 60 days) of the date of discharge or date of service. In the provision concerning enforcement, replaces all references to the Attorney General with the Illinois Department of Public Health; replaces the Attorney General Court Ordered and Voluntary Compliance Payment Projects Fund with the General Revenue Fund; and deletes a requirement for the use of moneys in the Attorney General Court Ordered and Voluntary Compliance Payment Projects Fund. Makes other changes.
