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. 30. Health care benefits.

(a) For veterans or spouses eligible and enrolled, the Department shall purchase or provide health care benefits for eligible veterans or spouses that are identical to the benefits provided to adults under the State's approved plan under Title XIX of the Social Security Act, except for nursing facility services and non-emergency transportation.

(b) Providers shall be subject to approval by the Department to provide health care under the Illinois Public Aid Code and shall be reimbursed at the same rates as providers reimbursed under the State's approved plan under Title XIX of the Social Security Act.

(c) As an alternative to the benefits set forth in subsection (a) of this Section, and when cost-effective, the Department may offer veterans or spouses subsidies toward the cost of privately sponsored health insurance, including employer-sponsored health insurance.
