Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 50.

Notification concerning out-of-network providers.

During the admission or as soon as practicable thereafter, the hospital must provide an insured patient with written notice that:

(1) the patient may receive separate bills for

services provided by health care professionals affiliated with the hospital;

(2) if applicable, some hospital staff members may

not be participating providers in the same insurance plans and networks as the hospital;

(3) if applicable, the patient may have a greater

financial responsibility for services provided by health care professionals at the hospital who are not under contract with the patient's health care plan; and

(4) questions about coverage or benefit levels

should be directed to the patient's health care plan and the patient's certificate of coverage.
