Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for SB2787

Amends the Medical Practice Act of 1987. In a provision concerning the confidentiality of medical reports and committee reports, provides that the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation may disclose information and documents to a federal, state (rather than State), or local law enforcement agency pursuant to a subpoena in an ongoing criminal investigation, to a health care licensing body, to a medical licensing authority of this State or another state or jurisdiction, or to the Department of Healthcare and Family Services' Office of the Medicaid Inspector General pursuant to an official request made by that licensing body, by a medical licensing authority, or by the Office of the Medicaid Inspector General. Amends the Illinois Public Aid Code. Replaces all references to "Inspector General" with "Medicaid Inspector General". Requires the Medicaid Inspector General to oversee the program integrity functions of the Department of Healthcare and Family Services and the Medicaid funded programs of the Department on Aging and the Department of Human Services (rather than oversee the Department of Healthcare and Family Services' and the Department on Aging's integrity functions). Requires the Medicaid Inspector General to report his or her findings to certain persons. Requires State agencies and departments to provide the Office of the Medicaid Inspector General access to certain confidential and other information and data.
