(215 ILCS 110/15) (from Ch. 32, par. 690.15)
Sec. 15.
It is unlawful for any person, except a dental service plan
corporation chartered in accordance with the provisions of this Act and
operating in accordance with authority from the Director, to establish,
maintain or operate a dental service plan, or to solicit subscribers to
or enter into contracts with respect to a dental service plan. This
prohibition, however, shall not be construed as preventing the
organization, establishment and operation of corporations organized in
accordance with the provisions of the Voluntary Health Services Plans
Act nor shall it be construed as
preventing a person from furnishing dental services for the prevention
of disease among his employees or from furnishing such dental service as
is required under the workers' compensation laws and related
legislation, when the employee is not charged for such services; nor
shall it be construed to prohibit an insurance company, or other
corporation or society which is subject to the supervision of the
Director, from operating in accordance with the laws governing insurance
companies, or such corporations or societies; nor shall it be construed
to prohibit the continued operation of any dental, medical, or health
service plan in existence and functioning upon the effective date of
this Act.
