Amends the Comprehensive Health Insurance Plan Act.

Effective immediately.House Amendment No. 2 Creates the Hospital Uninsured Patient Discount Act. Provides that a hospital, other than a rural hospital or Critical Access Hospital, shall provide a discount from its charges to any uninsured patient who applies for a discount and has family income of not more than 600% of the federal poverty income guidelines for all medically necessary health care services exceeding $300 in any one inpatient admission or outpatient encounter. Provides that a rural hospital or Critical Access Hospital shall provide a discount from its charges to any uninsured patient who applies for a discount and has annual family income of not more than 300% of the federal poverty income guidelines for all medically necessary health care services exceeding $300 in any one inpatient admission or outpatient encounter. Provides that hospitals may make the availability of a discount and the maximum collectible amount under the Act contingent upon the uninsured patient first applying for coverage under public programs, such as Medicare, Medicaid, AllKids, the State Children's Health Insurance Program, or any other program, if there is a reasonable basis to believe that the uninsured patient may be eligible for such program. Provides for exemptions and limitations. Provides for enforcement of the Act by the Attorney General, and provides for the assessment of a civil monetary penalty not to exceed $500 for a hospital's knowing violation of the Act by pattern or practice. Limits the concurrent exercise of home rule powers. Makes a change in the Section numbering. Effective upon becoming law, except that the Hospital Uninsured Patient Discount Act is effective 90 days after becoming law.Governor Amendatory Veto Message Recommends that the definition of "uninsured discount factor" mean 1.0 less the product of a hospital's cost to charge ratio multiplied by 1.20 for uninsured patients with family income above 200% of the federal poverty level and 1.0 for uninsured patients with family income at or below 200% of the federal poverty level (instead of just multiplied by 1.35). Makes changes in family income requirements in the provision concerning eligibility for uninsured patient discounts. Provides that for all children with juvenile diabetes, a hospital shall provide children with juvenile diabetes who are admitted for a diagnosis related to juvenile diabetes a 50% discount on any co-pay, coinsurance, or deductible that they would have otherwise owed if such a discount were not available. Deletes certain patient disclosure requirements in the provisions concerning uninsured patient discounts and patient responsibility. Provides that hospitals shall permit an uninsured patient to apply for a discount within 120 days (instead of 60 days) of the date of discharge or date of service. In the provision concerning enforcement, replaces all references to the Attorney General with the Illinois Department of Public Health; replaces the Attorney General Court Ordered and Voluntary Compliance Payment Projects Fund with the General Revenue Fund; and deletes a requirement for the use of moneys in the Attorney General Court Ordered and Voluntary Compliance Payment Projects Fund. Makes other changes. 2/14/2008SenateFiled with Secretary by Sen.
