(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2027)
Sec. 27.
It is unlawful and punishable under Section 59 for any person
licensed under this Act to knowingly advertise that the licensee will accept as
payment for services rendered by assignment from any third party payor the
amount the third party payor covers as payment in full, if the effect is to
give the impression of eliminating the need of payment by the patient of any
required deductible or copayment applicable in the patient's health benefit
plan.
As used in this Section, "advertise" means solicitation by the licensee or
through another by means of handbills, posters, circulars, motion pictures,
radio, newspapers, television or in any other manner.
