Effective immediately.House Committee Amendment No. 1 Deletes reference to:305 ILCS 5/5-16.8Removes amendatory changes to the Medical Assistance Article of the Illinois Public Aid Code requiring the State's medical assistance program to provide coverage for all services ordered by a physician and provided in a hospital that are considered medically necessary for the evaluation, assessment, and diagnosis of the illness or condition that resulted in the hospital stay.Fiscal Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Dept of Insurance) It is unclear if this legislation would be considered an expansion of services. However, as a result of the requirements brought about by this legislation, the Department would need to add, at minimum, two (2) full time staff within the External Review & Director Appeal Unit at an annual cost of $230,300, as the legislation would require that all disputed claims now be sent through the review process. This would require additional staff in an effort to handle these additional reviews and/or appeals. State Mandates Fiscal Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Dept. of Commerce & Economic Opportunity) This legislation does not create a State mandate. 12/10/2012HousePrefiled with Clerk by Rep.
