Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Public Aid Code. In provisions concerning expedited long-term care eligibility determinations and enrollment, provides that an applicant for long-term care services under the medical assistance program whose application remains open at least 15 days past the federally established guideline for processing applications shall be entitled to a temporary medical assistance card which shall be issued upon the applicant's request. Requires the Department of Healthcare and Family Services to immediately add the person to the facility's roster for payment and notify the managed care organization of the resident's change in payment status, if the resident is enrolled in a managed care organization. Effective immediately.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Deletes reference to:
305 ILCS 5/11-5.4
Adds reference to:
305 ILCS 5/5A-5from Ch. 23, par. 5A-5
305 ILCS 5/14-13 new

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Hospital Provider Funding Article of the Illinois Public Aid Code. In a provision concerning assessments for hospital providers that did not conduct, operate, or maintain a hospital during certain years, prohibits the Department of Healthcare and Family Services from increasing any assessment based upon hypothetical occupied bed days or hypothetical gross outpatient revenue once the initial assessment has been calculated by the Department and the hospital has been notified of the amount of the assessment based upon hypothetical occupied bed days or hypothetical gross outpatient revenue. Amends the Hospital Services Trust Fund Article of the Code. Provides that for any general acute care hospital licensed after January 1, 2008, the Department must calculate and pay enhanced payments for Medicaid services similar to enhanced Medicaid payments received by other general acute care hospitals. Permits the Department to create new payments or increase other existing Medicaid reimbursement programs in order to meet the enhanced payments requirements. Requires the Department to insert any new Medicaid inpatient methodology and any new Medicaid outpatient methodology in specified provisions of the Illinois Medicaid State Plan. Requires the Department to establish and maintain certain funding pools for enhanced payments to general acute care hospitals licensed: (i) after January 1, 2008 and before January 1, 2016 or (ii) after January 1, 2016 and before July 1, 2016. Permits the Department to establish, by rule, a funding pool for enhanced payments to general acute care hospitals licensed on and after July 1, 2016. Provides that the required enhanced payments shall continue so long as other specified payments required under the Code are in effect.

House Floor Amendment No. 2
Further amends the Hospital Services Trust Fund Article of the Illinois Public Aid Code. Provides that if the payments developed for certain general acute care hospitals are not approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for Medicaid matching, then such payments shall be reduced by 50%.
