|
|
1 | | AN ACT concerning health.
|
2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
|
4 | | Title I. General Provisions |
5 | | Article 1. |
6 | | Section 1-1. This Act may be referred to as the Illinois |
7 | | Health Care and Human Service Reform Act. |
8 | | Section 1-5. Findings. |
9 | | "We, the People of the State of Illinois in order to |
10 | | provide for the health, safety and welfare of the people; |
11 | | maintain a representative and orderly government; eliminate |
12 | | poverty and inequality; assure legal, social and economic |
13 | | justice; provide opportunity for the fullest development of |
14 | | the individual; insure domestic tranquility; provide for the |
15 | | common defense; and secure the blessings of freedom and |
16 | | liberty to ourselves and our posterity - do ordain and |
17 | | establish this Constitution for the State of Illinois." |
18 | | The Illinois Legislative Black Caucus finds that, in order |
19 | | to improve the health outcomes of Black residents in the State |
20 | | of Illinois, it is essential to dramatically reform the |
21 | | State's health and human service system. For over 3 decades, |
|
| | HB0158 | - 2 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | multiple health studies have found that health inequities at |
2 | | their very core are due to racism. As early as 1998 research |
3 | | demonstrated that Black Americans received less health care |
4 | | than white Americans because doctors treated patients |
5 | | differently on the basis of race. Yet, Illinois' health and |
6 | | human service system disappointingly continues to perpetuate |
7 | | health disparities among Black Illinoisans of all ages, |
8 | | genders, and socioeconomic status. |
9 | | In July 2020, Trinity Health announced its plans to close |
10 | | Mercy Hospital, an essential resource serving the Chicago |
11 | | South Side's predominantly Black residents. Trinity Health |
12 | | argued that this closure would have no impact on health access |
13 | | but failed to understand the community's needs. Closure of |
14 | | Mercy Hospital would only serve to create a health access |
15 | | desert and exacerbate existing health disparities. On December |
16 | | 15, 2020, after hearing from community members and advocates, |
17 | | the Health Facilities and Services Review Board unanimously |
18 | | voted to deny closure efforts, yet Trinity still seeks to |
19 | | cease Mercy's operations. |
20 | | Prior to COVID-19, much of the social and political |
21 | | attention surrounding the nationwide opioid epidemic focused |
22 | | on the increase in overdose deaths among white, middle-class, |
23 | | suburban and rural users; the impact of the epidemic in Black |
24 | | communities was largely unrecognized. Research has shown rates |
25 | | of opioid use at the national scale are higher for whites than |
26 | | they are for Blacks, yet rates of opioid deaths are higher |
|
| | HB0158 | - 3 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | among Blacks (43%) than whites (22%). The COVID-19 pandemic |
2 | | will likely exacerbate this situation due to job loss, |
3 | | stay-at-home orders, and ongoing mitigation efforts creating a |
4 | | lack of physical access to addiction support and harm |
5 | | reduction groups. |
6 | | In 2018, the Illinois Department of Public Health reported |
7 | | that Black women were about 6 times as likely to die from a |
8 | | pregnancy-related cause as white women. Of those, 72% of |
9 | | pregnancy-related deaths and 93% of violent |
10 | | pregnancy-associated deaths were deemed preventable. Between |
11 | | 2016 and 2017, Black women had the highest rate of severe |
12 | | maternal morbidity with a rate of 101.5 per 10,000 deliveries, |
13 | | which is almost 3 times as high as the rate for white women. |
14 | | In the City of Chicago, African American and Latinx |
15 | | populations are suffering from higher rates of AIDS/HIV |
16 | | compared to the general population. Recent data places HIV as |
17 | | one of the top 5 leading causes of death in African American |
18 | | women between the ages of 35 to 44 and the seventh ranking |
19 | | cause in African American women between the ages of 20 to 34. |
20 | | Among the Latinx population, nearly 20% with HIV exclusively |
21 | | depend on indigenous-led and staffed organizations for |
22 | | services. |
23 | | Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounts for more deaths in |
24 | | Illinois than any other cause of death, according to the |
25 | | Illinois Department of Public Health; CVD is the leading cause |
26 | | of death among Black residents. According to the Kaiser Family |
|
| | HB0158 | - 4 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | Foundation (KFF), for every 100,000 people, 224 Black |
2 | | Illinoisans die of CVD compared to 158 white Illinoisans. |
3 | | Cancer, the second leading cause of death in Illinois, too is |
4 | | pervasive among African Americans. In 2019, an estimated |
5 | | 606,880 Americans, or 1,660 people a day, died of cancer; the |
6 | | American Cancer Society estimated 24,410 deaths occurred in |
7 | | Illinois. KFF estimates that, out of every 100,000 people, 191 |
8 | | Black Illinoisans die of cancer compared to 152 white |
9 | | Illinoisans. |
10 | | Black Americans suffer at much higher rates from chronic |
11 | | diseases, including diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, |
12 | | asthma, and many cancers. Utilizing community health workers |
13 | | in patient education and chronic disease management is needed |
14 | | to close these health disparities. Studies have shown that |
15 | | diabetes patients in the care of a community health worker |
16 | | demonstrate improved knowledge and lifestyle and |
17 | | self-management behaviors, as well as decreases in the use of |
18 | | the emergency department. A study of asthma control among |
19 | | black adolescents concluded that asthma control was reduced by |
20 | | 35% among adolescents working with community health workers, |
21 | | resulting in a savings of $5.58 per dollar spent on the |
22 | | intervention. A study of the return on investment for |
23 | | community health workers employed in Colorado showed that, |
24 | | after a 9-month period, patients working with community health |
25 | | workers had an increased number of primary care visits and a |
26 | | decrease in urgent and inpatient care. Utilization of |
|
| | HB0158 | - 5 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | community health workers led to a $2.38 return on investment |
2 | | for every dollar invested in community health workers. |
3 | | Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are traumatic |
4 | | experiences occurring during childhood that have been found to |
5 | | have a profound effect on a child's developing brain structure |
6 | | and body which may result in poor health during a person's |
7 | | adulthood. ACEs studies have found a strong correlation |
8 | | between the number of ACEs and a person's risk for disease and |
9 | | negative health behaviors, including suicide, depression, |
10 | | cancer, stroke, ischemic heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune |
11 | | disease, smoking, substance abuse, interpersonal violence, |
12 | | obesity, unplanned pregnancies, lower educational achievement, |
13 | | workplace absenteeism, and lower wages. Data also shows that |
14 | | approximately 20% of African American and Hispanic adults in |
15 | | Illinois reported 4 or more ACEs, compared to 13% of |
16 | | non-Hispanic whites. Long-standing ACE interventions include |
17 | | tools such as trauma-informed care. Trauma-informed care has |
18 | | been promoted and established in communities across the |
19 | | country on a bipartisan basis, including in the states of |
20 | | California, Florida, Massachusetts, Missouri, Oregon, |
21 | | Pennsylvania, Washington, and Wisconsin. Several federal |
22 | | agencies have integrated trauma-informed approaches in their |
23 | | programs and grants which should be leveraged by the State. |
24 | | According to a 2019 Rush University report, a Black |
25 | | person's life expectancy on average is less when compared to a |
26 | | white person's life expectancy. For instance, when comparing |
|
| | HB0158 | - 6 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | life expectancy in Chicago's Austin neighborhood to the |
2 | | Chicago Loop, there is a difference of 11 years between Black |
3 | | life expectancy (71 years) and white life expectancy (82 |
4 | | years).
|
5 | | In a 2015 literature review of implicit racial and ethnic |
6 | | bias among medical professionals, it was concluded that there |
7 | | is a moderate level of implicit bias in most medical |
8 | | professionals. Further, the literature review showed that |
9 | | implicit bias has negative consequences for patients, |
10 | | including strained patient relationships and negative health |
11 | | outcomes. It is critical for medical professionals to be aware |
12 | | of implicit racial and ethnic bias and work to eliminate bias |
13 | | through training. |
14 | | In the field of medicine, a historically racist |
15 | | profession, Black medical professionals have commonly been |
16 | | ostracized. In 1934, Dr. Roland B. Scott was the first African |
17 | | American to pass the pediatric board exam, yet when he applied |
18 | | for membership with the American Academy of Pediatrics he was |
19 | | rejected multiple times. Few medical organizations have |
20 | | confronted the roles they played in blocking opportunities for |
21 | | Black advancement in the medical profession until the formal |
22 | | apologies of the American Medical Association in 2008. For |
23 | | decades, organizations like the AMA predicated their |
24 | | membership on joining a local state medical society, several |
25 | | of which excluded Black physicians. |
26 | | In 2010, the General Assembly, in partnership with |
|
| | HB0158 | - 7 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | Treatment Alternatives for Safe Communities, published the |
2 | | Disproportionate Justice Impact Study. The study examined the |
3 | | impact of Illinois drug laws on racial and ethnic groups and |
4 | | the resulting over-representation of racial and ethic minority |
5 | | groups in the Illinois criminal justice system. Unsurprisingly |
6 | | and disappointingly, the study confirmed decades long |
7 | | injustices, such as nonwhites being arrested at a higher rate |
8 | | than whites relative to their representation in the general |
9 | | population throughout Illinois. |
10 | | All together, the above mentioned only begins to capture a |
11 | | part of a larger system of racial injustices and inequities. |
12 | | The General Assembly and the people of Illinois are urged to |
13 | | recognize while racism is a core fault of the current health |
14 | | and human service system, that it is a pervasive disease |
15 | | affecting a multiplitude of institutions which truly drive |
16 | | systematic health inequities: education, child care, criminal |
17 | | justice, affordable housing, environmental justice, and job |
18 | | security and so forth. For persons to live up to their full |
19 | | human potential, their rights to quality of life, health care, |
20 | | a quality job, a fair wage, housing, and education must not be |
21 | | inhibited. |
22 | | Therefore, the Illinois Legislative Black Caucus, as |
23 | | informed by the Senate's Health and Human Service Pillar |
24 | | subject matter hearings, seeks to remedy a fraction of a much |
25 | | larger broken system by addressing access to health care, |
26 | | hospital closures, managed care organization reform, community |
|
| | HB0158 | - 8 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | health worker certification, maternal and infant mortality, |
2 | | mental and substance abuse treatment, hospital reform, and |
3 | | medical implicit bias in the Illinois Health Care and Human |
4 | | Service Reform Act. This Act shall achieve needed change |
5 | | through the use of, but not limited to, the Medicaid Managed |
6 | | Care Oversight Commission, the Health and Human Services Task |
7 | | Force, and a hospital closure moratorium, in order to address |
8 | | Illinois' long-standing health inequities.
|
9 | | Title II. Community Health Workers |
10 | | Article 5. |
11 | | Section 5-1. Short title. This Article may be cited as the |
12 | | Community Health Worker Certification and Reimbursement Act. |
13 | | References in this Article to "this Act" mean this Article. |
14 | | Section 5-5. Definition. In this Act, "community health |
15 | | worker" means a frontline public health worker who is a |
16 | | trusted member or has an unusually close understanding of the |
17 | | community served. This trusting relationship enables the |
18 | | community health worker to serve as a liaison, link, and |
19 | | intermediary between health and social services and the |
20 | | community to facilitate access to services and improve the |
21 | | quality and cultural competence of service delivery. A |
22 | | community health worker also builds individual and community |
|
| | HB0158 | - 9 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | capacity by increasing health knowledge and self-sufficiency |
2 | | through a range of activities, including outreach, community |
3 | | education, informal counseling, social support, and advocacy. |
4 | | A community health worker shall have the following core |
5 | | competencies: |
6 | | (1) communication; |
7 | | (2) interpersonal skills and relationship building; |
8 | | (3) service coordination and navigation skills; |
9 | | (4) capacity-building; |
10 | | (5) advocacy; |
11 | | (6) presentation and facilitation skills; |
12 | | (7) organizational skills; cultural competency; |
13 | | (8) public health knowledge; |
14 | | (9) understanding of health systems and basic |
15 | | diseases; |
16 | | (10) behavioral health issues; and |
17 | | (11) field experience. |
18 | | Nothing in this definition shall be construed to authorize |
19 | | a community health worker to provide direct care or treatment |
20 | | to any person or to perform any act or service for which a |
21 | | license issued by a professional licensing board is required. |
22 | | Section 5-10. Community health worker training. |
23 | | (a) Community health workers shall be provided with |
24 | | multi-tiered academic and community-based training |
25 | | opportunities that lead to the mastery of community health |
|
| | HB0158 | - 10 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | worker core competencies. |
2 | | (b) For academic-based training programs, the Department |
3 | | of Public Health shall collaborate with the Illinois State |
4 | | Board of Education, the Illinois Community College Board, and |
5 | | the Illinois Board of Higher Education to adopt a process to |
6 | | certify academic-based training programs that students can |
7 | | attend to obtain individual community health worker |
8 | | certification. Certified training programs shall reflect the |
9 | | approved core competencies and roles for community health |
10 | | workers. |
11 | | (c) For community-based training programs, the Department |
12 | | of Public Health shall collaborate with a statewide |
13 | | association representing community health workers to adopt a |
14 | | process to certify community-based programs that students can |
15 | | attend to obtain individual community health worker |
16 | | certification. |
17 | | (d) Community health workers may need to undergo |
18 | | additional training, including, but not limited to, asthma, |
19 | | diabetes, maternal child health, behavioral health, and social |
20 | | determinants of health training. Multi-tiered training |
21 | | approaches shall provide opportunities that build on each |
22 | | other and prepare community health workers for career pathways |
23 | | both within the community health worker profession and within |
24 | | allied professions. |
25 | | Section 5-15. Illinois Community Health Worker |
|
| | HB0158 | - 11 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | Certification Board. |
2 | | (a) There is created within the Department of Public |
3 | | Health, in shared leadership with a statewide association |
4 | | representing community health workers, the Illinois Community |
5 | | Health Worker Certification Board. The Board shall serve as |
6 | | the regulatory body that develops and has oversight of initial |
7 | | community health workers certification and certification |
8 | | renewals for both individuals and academic and community-based |
9 | | training programs. |
10 | | (b) A representative from the Department of Public Health, |
11 | | the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, the |
12 | | Department of Healthcare and Family Services, and the |
13 | | Department of Human Services shall serve on the Board. At |
14 | | least one full-time professional shall be assigned to staff |
15 | | the Board with additional administrative support available as |
16 | | needed. The Board shall have balanced representation from the |
17 | | community health worker workforce, community health worker |
18 | | employers, community health worker training and educational |
19 | | organizations, and other engaged stakeholders. |
20 | | (c) The Board shall propose a certification process for |
21 | | and be authorized to approve training from community-based |
22 | | organizations, in conjunction with a statewide organization |
23 | | representing community health workers, and academic |
24 | | institutions, in consultation with the Illinois State Board of |
25 | | Education, the Illinois Community College Board and the |
26 | | Illinois Board of Higher Education. The Board shall base |
|
| | HB0158 | - 12 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | training approval on core competencies, best practices, and |
2 | | affordability. In addition, the Board shall maintain a |
3 | | registry of certification records for individually certified |
4 | | community health workers. |
5 | | (d) All training programs that are deemed certifiable by |
6 | | the Board shall go through a renewal process, which will be |
7 | | determined by the Board once established. The Board shall |
8 | | establish criteria to grandfather in any community health |
9 | | workers who were practicing prior to the establishment of a |
10 | | certification program. |
11 | | (e) To ensure high-quality service, the Illinois Community |
12 | | Health Worker Certification Board shall examine and consider |
13 | | for adoption best practices from other states that have |
14 | | implemented policies to allow for alternative opportunities to |
15 | | demonstrate competency in core skills and knowledge in |
16 | | addition to certification. |
17 | | (f) The Department of Public Health shall explore ways to |
18 | | compensate members of the Board. |
19 | | Section 5-20. Reimbursement. Community health worker |
20 | | services shall be covered under the medical assistance |
21 | | program, subject to funding availability, for persons who are |
22 | | otherwise eligible for medical assistance. The Department of |
23 | | Healthcare and Family Services shall develop services, |
24 | | including, but not limited to, care coordination and |
25 | | diagnosis-related patient services, for which community health |
|
| | HB0158 | - 13 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | workers will be eligible for reimbursement and shall request |
2 | | approval from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid |
3 | | Services to reimburse community health worker services under |
4 | | the medical assistance program. For reimbursement under the |
5 | | medical assistance program, a community health worker must |
6 | | work under the supervision of an enrolled medical program |
7 | | provider, as specified by the Department, and certification |
8 | | shall be required for reimbursement. The supervision of |
9 | | enrolled medical program providers and certification are not |
10 | | required for community health workers who receive |
11 | | reimbursement through managed care administrative moneys. |
12 | | Noncertified community health workers are reimbursable at the |
13 | | discretion of managed care entities following availability of |
14 | | community health worker certification. In addition, the |
15 | | Department of Healthcare and Family Services shall amend its |
16 | | contracts with managed care entities to allow managed care |
17 | | entities to employ community health workers or subcontract |
18 | | with community-based organizations that employ community |
19 | | health workers. |
20 | | Section 5-23. Certification. Certification shall not be |
21 | | required for employment of community health workers. |
22 | | Noncertified community health workers may be employed through |
23 | | funding sources outside of the medical assistance program. |
24 | | Section 5-25. Rules. The Department of Public Health and |
|
| | HB0158 | - 14 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | the Department of Healthcare and Family Services may adopt |
2 | | rules for the implementation and administration of this Act. |
3 | | Title III. Hospital Reform |
4 | | Article 10. |
5 | | Section 10-5. The Hospital Licensing Act is amended by |
6 | | changing Section 10.4 as follows:
|
7 | | (210 ILCS 85/10.4) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 151.4)
|
8 | | Sec. 10.4. Medical staff privileges.
|
9 | | (a) Any hospital licensed under this Act or any hospital |
10 | | organized under the
University of Illinois Hospital Act shall, |
11 | | prior to the granting of any medical
staff privileges to an |
12 | | applicant, or renewing a current medical staff member's
|
13 | | privileges, request of the Director of Professional Regulation |
14 | | information
concerning the licensure status , proper |
15 | | credentials, required certificates, and any disciplinary |
16 | | action taken against the

17 | | license, except: (1) for medical personnel who
enter a |
18 | | hospital to obtain organs and tissues for transplant from a |
19 | | donor in accordance with the Illinois Anatomical Gift Act; or |
20 | | (2) for medical personnel who have been granted disaster |
21 | | privileges pursuant to the procedures and requirements |
22 | | established by rules adopted by the Department. Any hospital |
|
| | HB0158 | - 15 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | and any employees of the hospital or others involved in |
2 | | granting privileges who, in good faith, grant disaster |
3 | | privileges pursuant to this Section to respond to an emergency |
4 | | shall not, as a result of their acts or omissions, be liable |
5 | | for civil damages for granting or denying disaster privileges |
6 | | except in the event of willful and wanton misconduct, as that |
7 | | term is defined in Section 10.2 of this Act. Individuals |
8 | | granted privileges who provide care in an emergency situation, |
9 | | in good faith and without direct compensation, shall not, as a |
10 | | result of their acts or omissions, except for acts or |
11 | | omissions involving willful and wanton misconduct, as that |
12 | | term is defined in Section 10.2 of this Act, on the part of the |
13 | | person, be liable for civil damages. The Director of
|
14 | | Professional Regulation shall transmit, in writing and in a |
15 | | timely fashion,
such information regarding the license of the |
16 | | applicant or the medical staff
member, including the record of |
17 | | imposition of any periods of
supervision or monitoring as a |
18 | | result of alcohol or
substance abuse, as provided by Section |

Practice Act of 1987, and such information as |
20 | | may have been
submitted to the Department indicating that the |
21 | | application
or medical staff member has been denied, or has |
22 | | surrendered,
medical staff privileges at a hospital licensed |
23 | | under this
Act, or any equivalent facility in another state or
|
24 | | territory of the United States. The Director of Professional |
25 | | Regulation
shall define by rule the period for timely response |
26 | | to such requests.
|
|

|
|
1 | | medical staff membership, which should be
contained in
|
2 | | medical staff bylaws.
|
3 | | (B) Written procedures to be followed in |

pre-applicant or
|
13 | | applicant that explains the reason or

18 | | and clinical
privilege determinations concerning current |
19 | | members of the medical staff shall
include the following:
|
20 | | (A) A written notice of an adverse decision.
|
21 | | (B) An explanation of the reasons for an adverse |

|
|
1 | | decision before a hearing panel whose membership is
|

|
5 | | hospital governing board. Upon the request of the |
6 | | medical staff member or the
hospital governing board, |
7 | | the hearing panel shall make findings concerning the
|
8 | | nature of each basis for any adverse decision |
9 | | recommended to and accepted by
the hospital governing |

|
11 | | (i) Nothing in this subparagraph (C) limits a |
12 | | hospital's or medical
staff's right to summarily |
13 | | suspend, without a prior hearing, a person's |
14 | | medical
staff membership or clinical privileges if |
15 | | the continuation of practice of a
medical staff |
16 | | member constitutes an immediate danger to the |
17 | | public, including
patients, visitors, and hospital |
18 | | employees and staff. In the event that a hospital |
19 | | or the medical staff imposes a summary suspension, |
20 | | the Medical Executive Committee, or other |
21 | | comparable governance committee of the medical |
22 | | staff as specified in the bylaws, must meet as |
23 | | soon as is reasonably possible to review the |
24 | | suspension and to recommend whether it should be |
25 | | affirmed, lifted, expunged, or modified if the |
26 | | suspended physician requests such review. A |
|
| | HB0158 | - 19 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | summary suspension may not be implemented unless |
2 | | there is actual documentation or other reliable |
3 | | information that an immediate danger exists. This |
4 | | documentation or information must be available at |
5 | | the time the summary suspension decision is made |
6 | | and when the decision is reviewed by the Medical |
7 | | Executive Committee. If the Medical Executive |
8 | | Committee recommends that the summary suspension |
9 | | should be lifted, expunged, or modified, this |
10 | | recommendation must be reviewed and considered by |
11 | | the hospital governing board, or a committee of |
12 | | the board, on an expedited basis. Nothing in this |
13 | | subparagraph (C) shall affect the requirement that |
14 | | any requested hearing must be commenced within 15 |
15 | | days after the summary suspension and completed |
16 | | without delay unless otherwise agreed to by the |
17 | | parties. A fair hearing shall be
commenced within |
18 | | 15 days after the suspension and completed without |
19 | | delay, except that when the medical staff member's |
20 | | license to practice has been suspended or revoked |
21 | | by the State's licensing authority, no hearing |
22 | | shall be necessary.
|
23 | | (ii) Nothing in this subparagraph (C) limits a |
24 | | medical staff's right
to permit, in the medical |
25 | | staff bylaws, summary suspension of membership or
|
26 | | clinical privileges in designated administrative |
|
| | HB0158 | - 20 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | circumstances as specifically
approved by the |
2 | | medical staff. This bylaw provision must |
3 | | specifically describe
both the administrative |
4 | | circumstance that can result in a summary |
5 | | suspension
and the length of the summary |
6 | | suspension. The opportunity for a fair hearing is
|
7 | | required for any administrative summary |
8 | | suspension. Any requested hearing must
be |
9 | | commenced within 15 days after the summary |
10 | | suspension and completed without
delay. Adverse |
11 | | decisions other than suspension or other |
12 | | restrictions on the
treatment or admission of |
13 | | patients may be imposed summarily and without a
|
14 | | hearing under designated administrative |
15 | | circumstances as specifically provided
for in the |
16 | | medical staff bylaws as approved by the medical |
17 | | staff.
|
18 | | (iii) If a hospital exercises its option to |
19 | | enter into an exclusive
contract and that contract |
20 | | results in the total or partial termination or
|
21 | | reduction of medical staff membership or clinical |
22 | | privileges of a current
medical staff member, the |
23 | | hospital shall provide the affected medical staff
|
24 | | member 60 days prior notice of the effect on his or |
25 | | her medical staff
membership or privileges. An |
26 | | affected medical staff member desiring a hearing
|

| | HB0158 | - 21 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | under subparagraph (C) of this paragraph (2) must |
2 | | request the hearing within 14
days after the date |
3 | | he or she is so notified. The requested hearing |
4 | | shall be
commenced and completed (with a report |
5 | | and recommendation to the affected
medical staff |
6 | | member, hospital governing board, and medical |
7 | | staff) within 30
days after the date of the |
8 | | medical staff member's request. If agreed upon by
|
9 | | both the medical staff and the hospital governing |
10 | | board, the medical staff
bylaws may provide for |
11 | | longer time periods.
|
12 | | (C-5) All peer review used for the purpose of |
13 | | credentialing, privileging, disciplinary action, or |
14 | | other recommendations affecting medical staff |
15 | | membership or exercise of clinical privileges, whether |
16 | | relying in whole or in part on internal or external |
17 | | reviews, shall be conducted in accordance with the |
18 | | medical staff bylaws and applicable rules, |
19 | | regulations, or policies of the medical staff. If |
20 | | external review is obtained, any adverse report |
21 | | utilized shall be in writing and shall be made part of |
22 | | the internal peer review process under the bylaws. The |
23 | | report shall also be shared with a medical staff peer |
24 | | review committee and the individual under review. If |
25 | | the medical staff peer review committee or the |
26 | | individual under review prepares a written response to |
|
| | HB0158 | - 22 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | the report of the external peer review within 30 days |
2 | | after receiving such report, the governing board shall |
3 | | consider the response prior to the implementation of |
4 | | any final actions by the governing board which may |
5 | | affect the individual's medical staff membership or |
6 | | clinical privileges. Any peer review that involves |
7 | | willful or wanton misconduct shall be subject to civil |
8 | | damages as provided for under Section 10.2 of this |

17 | | attorney.
|
18 | | (F) A written notice and written explanation of |
19 | | the decision resulting
from the hearing.
|

21 | | by a hospital
governing board.
|
22 | | (G) Notice given 15 days before implementation of |
23 | | an adverse medical
staff membership or clinical |
24 | | privileges decision based substantially on
economic |
25 | | factors. This notice shall be given after the medical |
26 | | staff member
exhausts all applicable procedures under |
|
| | HB0158 | - 23 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | this Section, including item (iii) of
subparagraph (C) |
2 | | of this paragraph (2), and under the medical staff |
3 | | bylaws in
order to allow sufficient time for the |
4 | | orderly provision of patient care.
|
5 | | (H) Nothing in this paragraph (2) of this |
6 | | subsection (b) limits a
medical staff member's right |
7 | | to waive, in writing, the rights provided in
|
8 | | subparagraphs (A) through (G) of this paragraph (2) of |
9 | | this subsection (b) upon
being granted the written |
10 | | exclusive right to provide particular services at a
|
11 | | hospital, either individually or as a member of a |
12 | | group. If an exclusive
contract is signed by a |
13 | | representative of a group of physicians, a waiver
|
14 | | contained in the contract shall apply to all members |
15 | | of the group unless stated
otherwise in the contract.
|
16 | | (3) Every adverse medical staff membership and |
17 | | clinical privilege decision
based substantially on |
18 | | economic factors shall be reported to the Hospital
|
19 | | Licensing Board before the decision takes effect. These |
20 | | reports shall not be
disclosed in any form that reveals |
21 | | the identity of any hospital or physician.
These reports |
22 | | shall be utilized to study the effects that hospital |
23 | | medical
staff membership and clinical privilege decisions |
24 | | based upon economic factors
have on access to care and the |
25 | | availability of physician services. The
Hospital Licensing |
26 | | Board shall submit an initial study to the Governor and |
|
| | HB0158 | - 24 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | the

periodically thereafter.
|
3 | | (4) As used in this Section:
|

14 | | other patient care services and permission to use hospital
|
15 | | resources, including equipment, facilities and personnel |

shall not be |
18 | | construed to
require a hospital to acquire additional |
19 | | equipment, facilities, or personnel to
accommodate the |
20 | | granting of privileges.
|
21 | | (5) Any amendment to medical staff bylaws required |
22 | | because of
this amendatory Act of the 91st General |
23 | | Assembly shall be adopted on or
before July 1, 2001.
|
24 | | (c) All hospitals shall consult with the medical staff |

membership in the entire or any portion of the |
26 | | medical staff or a department.
If

|
2 | | (a) Findings. The Legislature finds and declares all of |
3 | | the following: |
4 | | (1) The State of Illinois has a substantial interest |
5 | | in promoting quality care and improving the delivery of |
6 | | health care services. |
7 | | (2) Evidence-based studies have shown that the basic |

11 | | care consistent with professional nursing standards. |
12 | | (3) Compliance with this Section promotes an |
13 | | organizational climate that values registered nurses' |

16 | | (b) Definitions. As used in this Section: |
17 | | "Acuity model" means an assessment tool selected and |
18 | | implemented by a hospital, as recommended by a nursing care |

9 | | "Written staffing plan for nursing care services" means a |
10 | | written plan for guiding the assignment of patient care |
11 | | nursing staff based on multiple nurse and patient |

14 | | patient care needs with nursing skills required for quality |
15 | | patient care consistent with professional nursing standards. |
16 | | (c) Written staffing plan. |
17 | | (1) Every hospital shall implement a written |

18 | | patients on admission to determine which
to translate into |
19 | | languages other than English.

23 | | made until the time the problem was resolved, and shall be |
24 | | payable to the Prescription Monitoring Program.
|
25 | | (a-5) Notwithstanding subsection (a), a licensed |
26 | | veterinarian is exempt from the reporting requirements of this |
|
| | HB0158 | - 67 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | Section. If a person who is presenting an animal for treatment |

16 | | profiles to the Prescription Monitoring Program monthly or |
17 | | more frequently as established by administrative rule. |
18 | | (d) The Department of Human Services shall appoint a |
19 | | full-time Clinical Director of the Prescription Monitoring |

8 | | Prescription Monitoring Program within the required timeline. |
9 | | (g) The Department, in consultation with the Advisory |
10 | | Committee, shall adopt rules allowing licensed prescribers or |

13 | | designee employed in that licensed prescriber's office or a |
14 | | licensed designee in a licensed pharmacist's pharmacy who has |
15 | | received training in the federal Health Insurance Portability |
16 | | and Accountability Act to consult the Prescription Monitoring |
17 | | Program on their behalf. The rules shall include reasonable |
18 | | parameters concerning a practitioner's authority to authorize |
19 | | a designee, and the eligibility of a person to be selected as a |
20 | | designee. In this subsection (g), "pharmacist" shall include a |
21 | | clinical pharmacist employed by and designated by a Medicaid |
22 | | Managed Care Organization providing services under Article V |

8 | | Section 60-5. The Adult Protective Services Act is amended |
9 | | by adding Section 3.1 as follows: |
10 | | (320 ILCS 20/3.1 new) |
11 | | Sec. 3.1. Adult protective services dementia training. |

|
| | HB0158 | - 71 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | officials and improve the quality of training. If currently |
2 | | existing law or rules contain more rigorous training |
3 | | requirements for Adult Protective Service officials, those |
4 | | laws or rules shall apply. Where there is overlap between this |
5 | | Section and other laws and rules, the Department shall |
6 | | interpret this Section to avoid duplication of requirements |
7 | | while ensuring that the minimum requirements set in this |
8 | | Section are met. |
9 | | (f) The Department may adopt rules for the administration |
10 | | of this Section. |
11 | | Article 65. |
12 | | Section 65-1. Short title. This Article may be cited as |
13 | | the Behavioral Health Workforce Education Center of Illinois |
14 | | Act. References in this Article to "this Act" mean this |
15 | | Article. |
16 | | Section 65-5. Findings. The General Assembly finds as |
17 | | follows:
|
18 | | (1) There are insufficient behavioral health |
19 | | professionals in this State's behavioral health workforce |
20 | | and further that there are insufficient behavioral health |
21 | | professionals trained in evidence-based practices.
|
22 | | (2) The Illinois behavioral health workforce situation |
23 | | is at a crisis state and the lack of a behavioral health |
|
| | HB0158 | - 72 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | strategy is exacerbating the problem.
|
2 | | (3) In 2019, the Journal of Community Health found |
3 | | that suicide rates are disproportionately higher among |
4 | | African American adolescents. From 2001 to 2017, the rate |
5 | | for African American teen boys rose 60%, according to the |
6 | | study. Among African American teen girls, rates nearly |
7 | | tripled, rising by an astounding 182%. Illinois was among |
8 | | the 10 states with the greatest number of African American |
9 | | adolescent suicides (2015-2017).
|
10 | | (4) Workforce shortages are evident in all behavioral |
11 | | health professions, including, but not limited to, |
12 | | psychiatry, psychiatric nursing, psychiatric physician |
13 | | assistant, social work (licensed social work, licensed |
14 | | clinical social work), counseling (licensed professional |
15 | | counseling, licensed clinical professional counseling), |
16 | | marriage and family therapy, licensed clinical psychology, |
17 | | occupational therapy, prevention, substance use disorder |
18 | | counseling, and peer support.
|
19 | | (5) The shortage of behavioral health practitioners |
20 | | affects every Illinois county, every group of people with |
21 | | behavioral health needs, including children and |
22 | | adolescents, justice-involved populations, working |
23 | | adults, people experiencing homelessness, veterans, and |
24 | | older adults, and every health care and social service |
25 | | setting, from residential facilities and hospitals to |
26 | | community-based organizations and primary care clinics.
|
|
| | HB0158 | - 73 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | (6) Estimates of unmet needs consistently highlight |
2 | | the dire situation in Illinois. Mental Health America |
3 | | ranks Illinois 29th in the country in mental health |
4 | | workforce availability based on its 480-to-1 ratio of |
5 | | population to mental health professionals, and the Kaiser |
6 | | Family Foundation estimates that only 23.3% of |
7 | | Illinoisans' mental health needs can be met with its |
8 | | current workforce.
|
9 | | (7) Shortages are especially acute in rural areas and |
10 | | among low-income and under-insured individuals and |
11 | | families. 30.3% of Illinois' rural hospitals are in |
12 | | designated primary care shortage areas and 93.7% are in |
13 | | designated mental health shortage areas. Nationally, 40% |
14 | | of psychiatrists work in cash-only practices, limiting |
15 | | access for those who cannot afford high out-of-pocket |
16 | | costs, especially Medicaid eligible individuals and |
17 | | families.
|
18 | | (8) Spanish-speaking therapists in suburban Cook |
19 | | County, as well as in immigrant new growth communities |
20 | | throughout the State, for example, and master's-prepared |
21 | | social workers in rural communities are especially |
22 | | difficult to recruit and retain.
|
23 | | (9) Illinois' shortage of psychiatrists specializing |
24 | | in serving children and adolescents is also severe. |
25 | | Eighty-one out of 102 Illinois counties have no child and |
26 | | adolescent psychiatrists, and the remaining 21 counties |
|
| | HB0158 | - 74 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | have only 310 child and adolescent psychiatrists for a |
2 | | population of 2,450,000 children.
|
3 | | (10) Only 38.9% of the 121,000 Illinois youth aged 12 |
4 | | through 17 who experienced a major depressive episode |
5 | | received care.
|
6 | | (11) An annual average of 799,000 people in Illinois |
7 | | aged 12 and older need but do not receive substance use |
8 | | disorder treatment at specialty facilities.
|
9 | | (12) According to the Statewide Semiannual Opioid |
10 | | Report,
Illinois Department of Public Health,
September |
11 | | 2020, the number of opioid deaths in Illinois has |
12 | | increased 3% from 2,167 deaths in 2018 to 2,233
deaths in |
13 | | 2019.
|
14 | | (13) Behavioral health workforce shortages have led to |
15 | | well-documented problems of long wait times for |
16 | | appointments with psychiatrists (4 to 6 months in some |
17 | | cases), high turnover, and unfilled vacancies for social |
18 | | workers and other behavioral health professionals that |
19 | | have eroded the gains in insurance coverage for mental |
20 | | illness and substance use disorder under the federal |
21 | | Affordable Care Act and parity laws.
|
22 | | (14) As a result, individuals with mental illness or |
23 | | substance use disorders end up in hospital emergency |
24 | | rooms, which are the most expensive level of care, or are |
25 | | incarcerated and do not receive adequate care, if any.
|
26 | | (15) There are many organizations and institutions |
|
| | HB0158 | - 75 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | that are affected by behavioral health workforce |
2 | | shortages, but no one entity is responsible for monitoring |
3 | | the workforce supply and intervening to ensure it can |
4 | | effectively meet behavioral health needs throughout the |
5 | | State.
|
6 | | (16) Workforce shortages are more complex than simple |
7 | | numerical shortfalls. Identifying the optimal number, |
8 | | type, and location of behavioral health professionals to |
9 | | meet the differing needs of Illinois' diverse regions and |
10 | | populations across the lifespan is a difficult logistical |
11 | | problem at the system and practice level that requires |
12 | | coordinated efforts in research, education, service |
13 | | delivery, and policy.
|
14 | | (17) This State has a compelling and substantial |
15 | | interest in building a pipeline for behavioral health |
16 | | professionals and to anchor research and education for |
17 | | behavioral health workforce development. Beginning with |
18 | | the proposed Behavioral Health Workforce Education Center |
19 | | of Illinois, Illinois has the chance to develop a |
20 | | blueprint to be a national leader in behavioral health |
21 | | workforce development.
|
22 | | (18) The State must act now to improve the ability of |
23 | | its residents to achieve their human potential and to live |
24 | | healthy, productive lives by reducing the misery and |
25 | | suffering with unmet behavioral health needs.

21 | | Section, the tax
imposed by this Act is at the rate of 6.25% of |
22 | | either the selling price or the
fair market value, if any, of |
|
| | HB0158 | - 83 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |

where property |
2 | | functionally used or consumed is the same as the property that
|
3 | | was purchased at retail, then the tax is imposed on the selling |
4 | | price of the
property. In all cases where property |
5 | | functionally used or consumed is a
by-product or waste product |

from property |
7 | | purchased at retail, then the tax is imposed on the lower of |

hands between a |
12 | | willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any
|
13 | | compulsion to buy or sell and both having reasonable knowledge |
14 | | of the
relevant facts. The fair market value shall be |
15 | | established by Illinois sales by
the taxpayer of the same |
16 | | property as that functionally used or consumed, or if
there |
17 | | are no such sales by the taxpayer, then comparable sales or |
18 | | purchases of
property of like kind and character in Illinois.

|
11 | | Article 72. |
12 | | Section 72-1. Short title. This Article may be cited as |
13 | | the Underlying Causes of Crime and Violence Study Act. |
14 | | Section 72-5. Legislative findings. In the State of |
15 | | Illinois, two-thirds of gun violence is related to suicide, |
16 | | and one-third is related to homicide, claiming approximately |
17 | | 12,000 lives a year. Violence has plagued communities, |
18 | | predominantly poor and distressed communities in urban |
19 | | settings, which have always treated violence as a criminal |
20 | | justice issue, instead of a public health issue. On February |
21 | | 21, 2018, Pastor Anthony Williams was informed that his son, |
22 | | Nehemiah William, had been shot to death. Due to this |
23 | | disheartening event, Pastor Anthony Williams reached out to |
|
| | HB0158 | - 107 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | State Representative Elizabeth "Lisa" Hernandez, urging that |
2 | | the issue of violence be treated as a disease. In 2018, elected |
3 | | officials from all levels of government started a coalition to |
4 | | address violence as a disease, with the assistance of |
5 | | faith-based organizations, advocates, and community members |
6 | | and held a statewide listening tour from August 2018 to April |
7 | | 2019. The listening tour consisted of stops on the South Side |
8 | | and West Side of Chicago, Maywood, Springfield, and East St. |
9 | | Louis, with a future scheduled visit in Danville. During the |
10 | | statewide listening sessions, community members actively |
11 | | discussed neighborhood safety, defining violence and how and |
12 | | why violence occurs in their communities. The listening |
13 | | sessions provided different solutions to address violence, |
14 | | however, all sessions confirmed a disconnect from the |
15 | | priorities of government and the needs of these communities.
|
16 | | Section 72-10. Study. The Department of Public Health and |
17 | | the Department of Human Services shall study how to create a |
18 | | process to identify high violence communities, also known as |
19 | | R3 (Restore, Reinvest, and Renew) areas, and prioritize State |
20 | | dollars to go to these communities to fund programs as well as |
21 | | community and economic development projects that would address |
22 | | the underlying causes of crime and violence.
|
23 | | Due to a variety of reasons, including in particular the |
24 | | State's budget impasse, funds were unavailable to establish |
25 | | such a comprehensive policy. Policies like R3 are needed in |
|
| | HB0158 | - 108 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | order to provide communities that have historically suffered |
2 | | from divestment, poverty, and incarceration with smart |
3 | | solutions that can solve the plague of violence. It is clear |
4 | | that violence is a public health problem that needs to be |
5 | | treated as such, a disease. Research has shown that when |
6 | | violence is treated in such a way, then its effects can be |

The Department of Public Health |
9 | | and the Department of Human Services are required to report |
10 | | their findings to the General Assembly by December 31, 2021. |
11 | | Article 75. |
12 | | Section 75-5. The Illinois Public Aid Code is amended by |
13 | | changing Section 9A-11 as follows:
|
14 | | (305 ILCS 5/9A-11) (from Ch. 23, par. 9A-11)
|
15 | | Sec. 9A-11. Child care.
|
16 | | (a) The General Assembly recognizes that families with |
17 | | children need child
care in order to work. Child care is |
18 | | expensive and families with low incomes,
including those who |
19 | | are transitioning from welfare to work, often struggle to
pay |
20 | | the costs of day care. The
General Assembly understands the |
21 | | importance of helping low-income working
families become and |
22 | | remain self-sufficient. The General Assembly also believes
|
|
| | HB0158 | - 109 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | that it is the responsibility of families to share in the costs |
2 | | of child care.
It is also the preference of the General |
3 | | Assembly that all working poor
families should be treated |
4 | | equally, regardless of their welfare status.
|
5 | | (b) To the extent resources permit, the Illinois |
6 | | Department shall provide
child care services to parents or |
7 | | other relatives as defined by rule who are
working or |
8 | | participating in employment or Department approved
education |
9 | | or training programs. At a minimum, the Illinois Department |
10 | | shall
cover the following categories of families:
|
11 | | (1) recipients of TANF under Article IV participating |
12 | | in work and training
activities as specified in the |
13 | | personal plan for employment and
self-sufficiency;
|
14 | | (2) families transitioning from TANF to work;
|
15 | | (3) families at risk of becoming recipients of TANF;
|
16 | | (4) families with special needs as defined by rule;
|
17 | | (5) working families with very low incomes as defined |
18 | | by rule;
|
19 | | (6) families that are not recipients of TANF and that |
20 | | need child care assistance to participate in education and |
21 | | training activities; and |
22 | | (7) families with children under the age of 5 who have |
23 | | an open intact family services case with the Department of |
24 | | Children and Family Services. Any family that receives |
25 | | child care assistance in accordance with this paragraph |
26 | | shall remain eligible for child care assistance 6 months |
|
| | HB0158 | - 110 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | after the child's intact family services case is closed, |
2 | | regardless of whether the child's parents or other |
3 | | relatives as defined by rule are working or participating |
4 | | in Department approved employment or education or training |
5 | | programs. The Department of Human Services, in |
6 | | consultation with the Department of Children and Family |
7 | | Services, shall adopt rules to protect the privacy of |
8 | | families who are the subject of an open intact family |
9 | | services case when such families enroll in child care |
10 | | services. Additional rules shall be adopted to offer |
11 | | children who have an open intact family services case the |
12 | | opportunity to receive an Early Intervention screening and |
13 | | other services that their families may be eligible for as |
14 | | provided by the Department of Human Services. |
15 | | The Department shall specify by rule the conditions of |
16 | | eligibility, the
application process, and the types, amounts, |
17 | | and duration of services.
Eligibility for
child care benefits |
18 | | and the amount of child care provided may vary based on
family |
19 | | size, income,
and other factors as specified by rule.
|
20 | | The Department shall update the Child Care Assistance |
21 | | Program Eligibility Calculator posted on its website to |
22 | | include a question on whether a family is applying for child |
23 | | care assistance for the first time or is applying for a |
24 | | redetermination of eligibility. |
25 | | A family's eligibility for child care services shall be |
26 | | redetermined no sooner than 12 months following the initial |
|
| | HB0158 | - 111 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | determination or most recent redetermination. During the |
2 | | 12-month periods, the family shall remain eligible for child |
3 | | care services regardless of (i) a change in family income, |
4 | | unless family income exceeds 85% of State median income, or |
5 | | (ii) a temporary change in the ongoing status of the parents or |
6 | | other relatives, as defined by rule, as working or attending a |
7 | | job training or educational program. |
8 | | In determining income eligibility for child care benefits, |
9 | | the Department
annually, at the beginning of each fiscal year, |
10 | | shall
establish, by rule, one income threshold for each family |
11 | | size, in relation to
percentage of State median income for a |
12 | | family of that size, that makes
families with incomes below |
13 | | the specified threshold eligible for assistance
and families |
14 | | with incomes above the specified threshold ineligible for
|
15 | | assistance. Through and including fiscal year 2007, the |
16 | | specified threshold must be no less than 50% of the
|
17 | | then-current State median income for each family size. |
18 | | Beginning in fiscal year 2008, the specified threshold must be |
19 | | no less than 185% of the then-current federal poverty level |
20 | | for each family size. Notwithstanding any other provision of |
21 | | law or administrative rule to the contrary, beginning in |
22 | | fiscal year 2019, the specified threshold for working families |
23 | | with very low incomes as defined by rule must be no less than |
24 | | 185% of the then-current federal poverty level for each family |
25 | | size.
|
26 | | In determining eligibility for
assistance, the Department |
|
| | HB0158 | - 112 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | shall not give preference to any category of
recipients
or |
2 | | give preference to individuals based on their receipt of |
3 | | benefits under this
Code.
|
4 | | Nothing in this Section shall be
construed as conferring |
5 | | entitlement status to eligible families.
|
6 | | The Illinois
Department is authorized to lower income |
7 | | eligibility ceilings, raise parent
co-payments, create waiting |
8 | | lists, or take such other actions during a fiscal
year as are |
9 | | necessary to ensure that child care benefits paid under this
|
10 | | Article do not exceed the amounts appropriated for those child |
11 | | care benefits.
These changes may be accomplished by emergency |
12 | | rule under Section 5-45 of the
Illinois Administrative |
13 | | Procedure Act, except that the limitation on the number
of |
14 | | emergency rules that may be adopted in a 24-month period shall |
15 | | not apply.
|
16 | | The Illinois Department may contract with other State |
17 | | agencies or child care
organizations for the administration of |
18 | | child care services.
|
19 | | (c) Payment shall be made for child care that otherwise |
20 | | meets the
requirements of this Section and applicable |
21 | | standards of State and local
law and regulation, including any |
22 | | requirements the Illinois Department
promulgates by rule in |
23 | | addition to the licensure
requirements
promulgated by the |
24 | | Department of Children and Family Services and Fire
Prevention |
25 | | and Safety requirements promulgated by the Office of the State
|
26 | | Fire Marshal, and is provided in any of the following:
|
|
| | HB0158 | - 113 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | (1) a child care center which is licensed or exempt |
2 | | from licensure
pursuant to Section 2.09 of the Child Care |
3 | | Act of 1969;
|
4 | | (2) a licensed child care home or home exempt from |
5 | | licensing;
|
6 | | (3) a licensed group child care home;
|
7 | | (4) other types of child care, including child care |
8 | | provided
by relatives or persons living in the same home |
9 | | as the child, as determined by
the Illinois Department by |
10 | | rule.
|
11 | | (c-5)
Solely for the purposes of coverage under the |
12 | | Illinois Public Labor Relations Act, child and day care home |
13 | | providers, including licensed and license exempt, |
14 | | participating in the Department's child care assistance |
15 | | program shall be considered to be public employees and the |
16 | | State of Illinois shall be considered to be their employer as |
17 | | of January 1, 2006 (the effective date of Public Act 94-320), |
18 | | but not before. The State shall engage in collective |
19 | | bargaining with an exclusive representative of child and day |
20 | | care home providers participating in the child care assistance |
21 | | program concerning their terms and conditions of employment |
22 | | that are within the State's control. Nothing in this |
23 | | subsection shall be understood to limit the right of families |
24 | | receiving services defined in this Section to select child and |
25 | | day care home providers or supervise them within the limits of |
26 | | this Section. The State shall not be considered to be the |
|
| | HB0158 | - 114 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | employer of child and day care home providers for any purposes |
2 | | not specifically provided in Public Act 94-320, including, but |
3 | | not limited to, purposes of vicarious liability in tort and |
4 | | purposes of statutory retirement or health insurance benefits. |
5 | | Child and day care home providers shall not be covered by the |
6 | | State Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971. |
7 | | In according child and day care home providers and their |
8 | | selected representative rights under the Illinois Public Labor |
9 | | Relations Act, the State intends that the State action |
10 | | exemption to application of federal and State antitrust laws |
11 | | be fully available to the extent that their activities are |
12 | | authorized by Public Act 94-320.
|
13 | | (d) The Illinois Department shall establish, by rule, a |
14 | | co-payment scale that provides for cost sharing by families |
15 | | that receive
child care services, including parents whose only |
16 | | income is from
assistance under this Code. The co-payment |
17 | | shall be based on family income and family size and may be |
18 | | based on other factors as appropriate. Co-payments may be |
19 | | waived for families whose incomes are at or below the federal |
20 | | poverty level.
|
21 | | (d-5) The Illinois Department, in consultation with its |
22 | | Child Care and Development Advisory Council, shall develop a |
23 | | plan to revise the child care assistance program's co-payment |
24 | | scale. The plan shall be completed no later than February 1, |
25 | | 2008, and shall include: |
26 | | (1) findings as to the percentage of income that the |
|
| | HB0158 | - 115 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | average American family spends on child care and the |
2 | | relative amounts that low-income families and the average |
3 | | American family spend on other necessities of life;
|
4 | | (2) recommendations for revising the child care |
5 | | co-payment scale to assure that families receiving child |
6 | | care services from the Department are paying no more than |
7 | | they can reasonably afford; |
8 | | (3) recommendations for revising the child care |
9 | | co-payment scale to provide at-risk children with complete |
10 | | access to Preschool for All and Head Start; and |
11 | | (4) recommendations for changes in child care program |
12 | | policies that affect the affordability of child care.
|
13 | | (e) (Blank).
|
14 | | (f) The Illinois Department shall, by rule, set rates to |
15 | | be paid for the
various types of child care. Child care may be |
16 | | provided through one of the
following methods:
|
17 | | (1) arranging the child care through eligible |
18 | | providers by use of
purchase of service contracts or |
19 | | vouchers;
|
20 | | (2) arranging with other agencies and community |
21 | | volunteer groups for
non-reimbursed child care;
|
22 | | (3) (blank); or
|
23 | | (4) adopting such other arrangements as the Department |
24 | | determines
appropriate.
|
25 | | (f-1) Within 30 days after June 4, 2018 (the effective |
26 | | date of Public Act 100-587), the Department of Human Services |
|
| | HB0158 | - 116 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | shall establish rates for child care providers that are no |
2 | | less than the rates in effect on January 1, 2018 increased by |
3 | | 4.26%. |
4 | | (f-5) (Blank). |
5 | | (g) Families eligible for assistance under this Section |
6 | | shall be given the
following options:
|
7 | | (1) receiving a child care certificate issued by the |
8 | | Department or a
subcontractor of the Department that may |
9 | | be used by the parents as payment for
child care and |
10 | | development services only; or
|
11 | | (2) if space is available, enrolling the child with a |
12 | | child care provider
that has a purchase of service |
13 | | contract with the Department or a subcontractor
of the |
14 | | Department for the provision of child care and development |
15 | | services.
The Department may identify particular priority |
16 | | populations for whom they may
request special |
17 | | consideration by a provider with purchase of service
|
18 | | contracts, provided that the providers shall be permitted |
19 | | to maintain a balance
of clients in terms of household |
20 | | incomes and families and children with special
needs, as |
21 | | defined by rule.

3 | | Sec. 5A-12.7. Continuation of hospital access payments on |
4 | | and after July 1, 2020. |
5 | | (a) To preserve and improve access to hospital services, |
6 | | for hospital services rendered on and after July 1, 2020, the |
7 | | Department shall, except for hospitals described in subsection |
8 | | (b) of Section 5A-3, make payments to hospitals or require |
9 | | capitated managed care organizations to make payments as set |
10 | | forth in this Section. Payments under this Section are not due |
11 | | and payable, however, until: (i) the methodologies described |
12 | | in this Section are approved by the federal government in an |
13 | | appropriate State Plan amendment or directed payment preprint; |
14 | | and (ii) the assessment imposed under this Article is |
15 | | determined to be a permissible tax under Title XIX of the |
16 | | Social Security Act. In determining the hospital access |
17 | | payments authorized under subsection (g) of this Section, if a |
18 | | hospital ceases to qualify for payments from the pool, the |
19 | | payments for all hospitals continuing to qualify for payments |
20 | | from such pool shall be uniformly adjusted to fully expend the |
21 | | aggregate net amount of the pool, with such adjustment being |
22 | | effective on the first day of the second month following the |
23 | | date the hospital ceases to receive payments from such pool. |
24 | | (b) Amounts moved into claims-based rates and distributed |
25 | | in accordance with Section 14-12 shall remain in those |
|
| | HB0158 | - 133 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | claims-based rates. |
2 | | (c) Graduate medical education. |
3 | | (1) The calculation of graduate medical education |
4 | | payments shall be based on the hospital's Medicare cost |
5 | | report ending in Calendar Year 2018, as reported in the |
6 | | Healthcare Cost Report Information System file, release |
7 | | date September 30, 2019. An Illinois hospital reporting |
8 | | intern and resident cost on its Medicare cost report shall |
9 | | be eligible for graduate medical education payments. |
10 | | (2) Each hospital's annualized Medicaid Intern |
11 | | Resident Cost is calculated using annualized intern and |
12 | | resident total costs obtained from Worksheet B Part I, |
13 | | Columns 21 and 22 the sum of Lines 30-43, 50-76, 90-93, |
14 | | 96-98, and 105-112 multiplied by the percentage that the |
15 | | hospital's Medicaid days (Worksheet S3 Part I, Column 7, |
16 | | Lines 2, 3, 4, 14, 16-18, and 32) comprise of the |
17 | | hospital's total days (Worksheet S3 Part I, Column 8, |
18 | | Lines 14, 16-18, and 32). |
19 | | (3) An annualized Medicaid indirect medical education |
20 | | (IME) payment is calculated for each hospital using its |
21 | | IME payments (Worksheet E Part A, Line 29, Column 1) |
22 | | multiplied by the percentage that its Medicaid days |
23 | | (Worksheet S3 Part I, Column 7, Lines 2, 3, 4, 14, 16-18, |
24 | | and 32) comprise of its Medicare days (Worksheet S3 Part |
25 | | I, Column 6, Lines 2, 3, 4, 14, and 16-18). |
26 | | (4) For each hospital, its annualized Medicaid Intern |
|
| | HB0158 | - 134 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | Resident Cost and its annualized Medicaid IME payment are |
2 | | summed, and, except as capped at 120% of the average cost |
3 | | per intern and resident for all qualifying hospitals as |
4 | | calculated under this paragraph, is multiplied by 22.6% to |
5 | | determine the hospital's final graduate medical education |
6 | | payment. Each hospital's average cost per intern and |
7 | | resident shall be calculated by summing its total |
8 | | annualized Medicaid Intern Resident Cost plus its |
9 | | annualized Medicaid IME payment and dividing that amount |
10 | | by the hospital's total Full Time Equivalent Residents and |
11 | | Interns. If the hospital's average per intern and resident |
12 | | cost is greater than 120% of the same calculation for all |
13 | | qualifying hospitals, the hospital's per intern and |
14 | | resident cost shall be capped at 120% of the average cost |
15 | | for all qualifying hospitals. |
16 | | (d) Fee-for-service supplemental payments. Each Illinois |
17 | | hospital shall receive an annual payment equal to the amounts |
18 | | below, to be paid in 12 equal installments on or before the |
19 | | seventh State business day of each month, except that no |
20 | | payment shall be due within 30 days after the later of the date |
21 | | of notification of federal approval of the payment |
22 | | methodologies required under this Section or any waiver |
23 | | required under 42 CFR 433.68, at which time the sum of amounts |
24 | | required under this Section prior to the date of notification |
25 | | is due and payable. |

18 | | (e) The Department shall require managed care |

25 | | Section. The Department shall require the MCOs to pay the |

8 | | subsection (h) of Section 5-5.02, and for the inpatient |
9 | | day threshold, the State fiscal year ending 18 months |
10 | | prior to the beginning of the calendar year. For purposes |

4 | | Determination Quarter, accepted by the Department's Medicaid |
5 | | Management Information System for inpatient and outpatient |
6 | | services rendered by safety-net hospitals and critical access |
7 | | hospitals to determine a quarterly uniform per unit add-on for |

|
| | HB0158 | - 141 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | per claim add-on shall be derived by dividing the |
2 | | quarterly Outpatient Directed Payments Pool amount |
3 | | allocated to the applicable hospital class by the total |
4 | | outpatient encounter claims received during the |
5 | | Determination Quarter, for all hospitals in the class. |
6 | | (A) Each hospital in the class shall have a |
7 | | quarterly outpatient directed payment calculated that |
8 | | is equal to the product of the number of outpatient |
9 | | encounter claims attributable to the hospital used in |
10 | | the calculation of the quarterly uniform class per |
11 | | claim add-on, multiplied by the calculated applicable |
12 | | quarterly uniform class per claim add-on of the |
13 | | hospital class. |
14 | | (B) Each hospital shall be paid 1/3 of its |
15 | | quarterly outpatient directed payment in each of the 3 |
16 | | months of the Payout Quarter, in accordance with |
17 | | directions provided to each MCO by the Department. |
18 | | (3) Each MCO shall pay each hospital the Monthly |

17 | | payments shall be allocated proportionally to each class of |
18 | | hospitals based on that class' proportion of services. |

14 | | and each calendar year thereafter, each hospital's |
15 | | pass-through payment amount shall be reduced |
16 | | proportionally to the reduction of all pass-through |
17 | | payments required by federal regulations. |
18 | | (k) At least 30 days prior to each calendar year, the |
19 | | Department shall notify each hospital of changes to the |
20 | | payment methodologies in this Section, including, but not |
21 | | limited to, changes in the fixed rate directed payment rates, |
22 | | the aggregate pass-through payment amount for all hospitals, |
23 | | and the hospital's pass-through payment amount for the |
24 | | upcoming calendar year. |
25 | | (l) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, |
26 | | the Department may adopt rules to change the methodology for |

15 | | $50,000,000 annually to be dispersed among safety-net |
16 | | hospitals that maintain perinatal designation from the |
17 | | Department of Public Health. The funding shall be used to |
18 | | preserve or enhance OB/GYN services or other specialty |
19 | | services at the receiving hospital, with the distribution of |
20 | | funding to be established by rule and with consideration to |
21 | | perinatal hospitals with safe birthing levels and quality |
22 | | metrics for healthy mothers and babies. |

14 | | Section 125-5. Findings. The General Assembly finds that:
|
15 | | (1) The State is committed to improving the health and |
16 | | well-being of Illinois residents and families.
|
17 | | (2) According to data collected by the Kaiser |
18 | | Foundation, Illinois had over 905,000 uninsured residents |
19 | | in 2019, with a total uninsured rate of 7.3%. |
20 | | (3) Many Illinois residents and families who have |
21 | | health insurance cannot afford to use it due to high |
22 | | deductibles and cost sharing.
|
23 | | (4) Lack of access to affordable health care services |
|
| | HB0158 | - 170 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | disproportionately affects minority communities |
2 | | throughout the State, leading to poorer health outcomes |
3 | | among those populations.
|
4 | | (5) Illinois Medicaid beneficiaries are not receiving |
5 | | the coordinated and effective care they need to support |
6 | | their overall health and well-being.
|
7 | | (6) Illinois has an opportunity to improve the health |
8 | | and well-being of a historically underserved and |
9 | | vulnerable population by providing more coordinated and |
10 | | higher quality care to its Medicaid beneficiaries.
|
11 | | (7) The State of Illinois has a responsibility to help |
12 | | crime victims access justice, assistance, and the support |
13 | | they need to heal.
|
14 | | (8) Research has shown that people who are repeatedly |
15 | | victimized are more likely to face mental health problems |
16 | | such as depression, anxiety, and symptoms related to |
17 | | post-traumatic stress disorder and chronic trauma.
|
18 | | (9) Trauma-informed care has been promoted and |
19 | | established in communities across the country on a |
20 | | bipartisan basis, and numerous federal agencies have |
21 | | integrated trauma-informed approaches into their programs |
22 | | and grants, which should be leveraged by the State of |

|
| | HB0158 | - 177 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | Section 130-5. Findings. The General Assembly finds and |
2 | | declares all of the following:
|
3 | | (1) Public health is the science and art of preventing |
4 | | disease, of protecting and improving the health of people, |
5 | | entire populations, and their communities; this work is |
6 | | achieved by promoting healthy lifestyles and choices, |
7 | | researching disease, and preventing injury.
|
8 | | (2) Public health professionals try to prevent |
9 | | problems from happening or recurring through implementing |
10 | | educational programs, recommending policies, |
11 | | administering services, and limiting health disparities |
12 | | through the promotion of equitable and accessible |
13 | | healthcare.
|
14 | | (3) According to the Centers for Disease Control and |
15 | | Prevention, racism and segregation in the State of |
16 | | Illinois have exacerbated a health divide, resulting in |
17 | | Black residents having lower life expectancies than white |
18 | | citizens of this State and being far more likely than |
19 | | other races to die prematurely (before the age of 75) and |
20 | | to die of heart disease or stroke; Black residents of |
21 | | Illinois have a higher level of infant mortality, lower |
22 | | birth weight babies, and are more likely to be overweight |
23 | | or obese as adults, have adult diabetes, and have |
24 | | long-term complications from diabetes that exacerbate |
25 | | other conditions, including the susceptibility to |
|
| | HB0158 | - 178 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | COVID-19.
|
2 | | (4) Black and Brown people are more likely to |
3 | | experience poor health outcomes as a consequence of their |
4 | | social determinants of health, health inequities stemming |
5 | | from economic instability, education, physical |
6 | | environment, food, and access to health care systems.
|
7 | | (5) Black residents in Illinois are more likely than |
8 | | white residents to experience violence-related trauma as a |
9 | | result of socioeconomic conditions resulting from systemic |
10 | | racism.
|
11 | | (6) Racism is a social system with multiple dimensions |
12 | | in which individual racism is internalized or |
13 | | interpersonal and systemic racism is institutional or |
14 | | structural and is a system of structuring opportunity and |
15 | | assigning value based on the social interpretation of how |
16 | | one looks; this unfairly disadvantages specific |
17 | | individuals and communities, while unfairly giving |
18 | | advantages to other individuals and communities; it saps |
19 | | the strength of the whole society through the waste of |
20 | | human resources.
|
21 | | (7) Racism causes persistent racial discrimination |
22 | | that influences many areas of life, including housing, |
23 | | education, employment, and criminal justice; an emerging |
24 | | body of research demonstrates that racism itself is a |
25 | | social determinant of health.
|
26 | | (8) More than 100 studies have linked racism to worse |
|
| | HB0158 | - 179 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | health outcomes.
|
2 | | (9) The American Public Health Association launched a |
3 | | National Campaign against Racism.
|
4 | | (10) Public health's responsibilities to address |
5 | | racism include reshaping our discourse and agenda so that |
6 | | we all actively engage in racial justice work.
|
7 | | Section 130-10. Anti-Racism Commission.

19 | | (f) Network adequacy and transparency. |
20 | | (1) The Department shall: |
21 | | (A) ensure that an adequate provider network is in |
22 | | place, taking into consideration health professional |
23 | | shortage areas and medically underserved areas; |
24 | | (B) publicly release an explanation of its process |
25 | | for analyzing network adequacy; |
26 | | (C) periodically ensure that an MCO continues to |
|
| | HB0158 | - 204 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | have an adequate network in place; and |
2 | | (D) require MCOs, including Medicaid Managed Care |
3 | | Entities as defined in Section 5-30.2, to meet |
4 | | provider directory requirements under Section 5-30.3 ; |
5 | | and . |
6 | | (E) require MCOs to ensure that any |
7 | | Medicaid-certified provider
under contract with an MCO |
8 | | and previously submitted on a roster on the date of |
9 | | service is
paid for any medically necessary, |
10 | | Medicaid-covered, and authorized service rendered to
|
11 | | any of the MCO's enrollees, regardless of inclusion on
|
12 | | the MCO's published and publicly available directory |
13 | | of
available providers. |
14 | | (2) Each MCO shall confirm its receipt of information |
15 | | submitted specific to physician or dentist additions or |
16 | | physician or dentist deletions from the MCO's provider |
17 | | network within 3 days after receiving all required |
18 | | information from contracted physicians or dentists, and |
19 | | electronic physician and dental directories must be |
20 | | updated consistent with current rules as published by the |
21 | | Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services or its |
22 | | successor agency. |
23 | | (g) Timely payment of claims. |
24 | | (1) The MCO shall pay a claim within 30 days of |
25 | | receiving a claim that contains all the essential |
26 | | information needed to adjudicate the claim. |
|
| | HB0158 | - 205 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | (2) The MCO shall notify the billing party of its |
2 | | inability to adjudicate a claim within 30 days of |
3 | | receiving that claim. |
4 | | (3) The MCO shall pay a penalty that is at least equal |
5 | | to the timely payment interest penalty imposed under |
6 | | Section 368a of the Illinois Insurance Code for any claims |
7 | | not timely paid. |
8 | | (A) When an MCO is required to pay a timely payment |
9 | | interest penalty to a provider, the MCO must calculate |
10 | | and pay the timely payment interest penalty that is |
11 | | due to the provider within 30 days after the payment of |
12 | | the claim. In no event shall a provider be required to |
13 | | request or apply for payment of any owed timely |
14 | | payment interest penalties. |
15 | | (B) Such payments shall be reported separately |
16 | | from the claim payment for services rendered to the |
17 | | MCO's enrollee and clearly identified as interest |
18 | | payments. |
19 | | (4)(A) The Department shall require MCOs to expedite |
20 | | payments to providers identified on the Department's |
21 | | expedited provider list, determined in accordance with 89 |
22 | | Ill. Adm. Code 140.71(b), on a schedule at least as |
23 | | frequently as the providers are paid under the |
24 | | Department's fee-for-service expedited provider schedule. |
25 | | (B) Compliance with the expedited provider |
26 | | requirement may be satisfied by an MCO through the use |
|
| | HB0158 | - 206 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | of a Periodic Interim Payment (PIP) program that has |
2 | | been mutually agreed to and documented between the MCO |
3 | | and the provider, if and the PIP program ensures that |
4 | | any expedited provider receives regular and periodic |
5 | | payments based on prior period payment experience from |
6 | | that MCO. Total payments under the PIP program may be |
7 | | reconciled against future PIP payments on a schedule |
8 | | mutually agreed to between the MCO and the provider. |
9 | | (C) The Department shall share at least monthly |
10 | | its expedited provider list and the frequency with |
11 | | which it pays providers on the expedited list. |
12 | | (g-5) Recognizing that the rapid transformation of the |
13 | | Illinois Medicaid program may have unintended operational |
14 | | challenges for both payers and providers: |
15 | | (1) in no instance shall a medically necessary covered |
16 | | service rendered in good faith, based upon eligibility |
17 | | information documented by the provider, be denied coverage |
18 | | or diminished in payment amount if the eligibility or |
19 | | coverage information available at the time the service was |
20 | | rendered is later found to be inaccurate in the assignment |
21 | | of coverage responsibility between MCOs or the |
22 | | fee-for-service system, except for instances when an |
23 | | individual is deemed to have not been eligible for |
24 | | coverage under the Illinois Medicaid program; and |
25 | | (2) the Department shall, by December 31, 2016, adopt |
26 | | rules establishing policies that shall be included in the |
|
| | HB0158 | - 207 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | Medicaid managed care policy and procedures manual |
2 | | addressing payment resolutions in situations in which a |
3 | | provider renders services based upon information obtained |
4 | | after verifying a patient's eligibility and coverage plan |
5 | | through either the Department's current enrollment system |
6 | | or a system operated by the coverage plan identified by |
7 | | the patient presenting for services: |
8 | | (A) such medically necessary covered services |
9 | | shall be considered rendered in good faith; |
10 | | (B) such policies and procedures shall be |
11 | | developed in consultation with industry |
12 | | representatives of the Medicaid managed care health |
13 | | plans and representatives of provider associations |
14 | | representing the majority of providers within the |
15 | | identified provider industry; and |
16 | | (C) such rules shall be published for a review and |
17 | | comment period of no less than 30 days on the |
18 | | Department's website with final rules remaining |
19 | | available on the Department's website. |
20 | | The rules on payment resolutions shall include, but not be |
21 | | limited to: |
22 | | (A) the extension of the timely filing period; |
23 | | (B) retroactive prior authorizations; and |
24 | | (C) guaranteed minimum payment rate of no less than |
25 | | the current, as of the date of service, fee-for-service |
26 | | rate, plus all applicable add-ons, when the resulting |
|
| | HB0158 | - 208 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | service relationship is out of network. |
2 | | The rules shall be applicable for both MCO coverage and |
3 | | fee-for-service coverage. |
4 | | If the fee-for-service system is ultimately determined to |
5 | | have been responsible for coverage on the date of service, the |
6 | | Department shall provide for an extended period for claims |
7 | | submission outside the standard timely filing requirements. |
8 | | (g-6) MCO Performance Metrics Report. |
9 | | (1) The Department shall publish, on at least a |
10 | | quarterly basis, each MCO's operational performance, |
11 | | including, but not limited to, the following categories of |
12 | | metrics: |
13 | | (A) claims payment, including timeliness and |
14 | | accuracy; |
15 | | (B) prior authorizations; |
16 | | (C) grievance and appeals; |
17 | | (D) utilization statistics; |
18 | | (E) provider disputes; |
19 | | (F) provider credentialing; and |
20 | | (G) member and provider customer service. |
21 | | (2) The Department shall ensure that the metrics |
22 | | report is accessible to providers online by January 1, |
23 | | 2017. |
24 | | (3) The metrics shall be developed in consultation |
25 | | with industry representatives of the Medicaid managed care |
26 | | health plans and representatives of associations |
|
| | HB0158 | - 209 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | representing the majority of providers within the |
2 | | identified industry. |
3 | | (4) Metrics shall be defined and incorporated into the |
4 | | applicable Managed Care Policy Manual issued by the |
5 | | Department. |
6 | | (g-7) MCO claims processing and performance analysis. In |
7 | | order to monitor MCO payments to hospital providers, pursuant |
8 | | to this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly, the |
9 | | Department shall post an analysis of MCO claims processing and |
10 | | payment performance on its website every 6 months. Such |
11 | | analysis shall include a review and evaluation of a |
12 | | representative sample of hospital claims that are rejected and |
13 | | denied for clean and unclean claims and the top 5 reasons for |
14 | | such actions and timeliness of claims adjudication, which |
15 | | identifies the percentage of claims adjudicated within 30, 60, |
16 | | 90, and over 90 days, and the dollar amounts associated with |
17 | | those claims. The Department shall post the contracted claims |
18 | | report required by HealthChoice Illinois on its website every |
19 | | 3 months. |
20 | | (g-8) Dispute resolution process. The Department shall |
21 | | maintain a provider complaint portal through which a provider |
22 | | can submit to the Department unresolved disputes with an MCO. |
23 | | An unresolved dispute means an MCO's decision that denies in |
24 | | whole or in part a claim for reimbursement to a provider for |
25 | | health care services rendered by the provider to an enrollee |
26 | | of the MCO with which the provider disagrees. Disputes shall |
|
| | HB0158 | - 210 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | not be submitted to the portal until the provider has availed |
2 | | itself of the MCO's internal dispute resolution process. |
3 | | Disputes that are submitted to the MCO internal dispute |
4 | | resolution process may be submitted to the Department of |
5 | | Healthcare and Family Services' complaint portal no sooner |
6 | | than 30 days after submitting to the MCO's internal process |
7 | | and not later than 30 days after the unsatisfactory resolution |
8 | | of the internal MCO process or 60 days after submitting the |
9 | | dispute to the MCO internal process. Multiple claim disputes |
10 | | involving the same MCO may be submitted in one complaint, |
11 | | regardless of whether the claims are for different enrollees, |
12 | | when the specific reason for non-payment of the claims |
13 | | involves a common question of fact or policy. Within 10 |
14 | | business days of receipt of a complaint, the Department shall |
15 | | present such disputes to the appropriate MCO, which shall then |
16 | | have 30 days to issue its written proposal to resolve the |
17 | | dispute. The Department may grant one 30-day extension of this |
18 | | time frame to one of the parties to resolve the dispute. If the |
19 | | dispute remains unresolved at the end of this time frame or the |
20 | | provider is not satisfied with the MCO's written proposal to |
21 | | resolve the dispute, the provider may, within 30 days, request |
22 | | the Department to review the dispute and make a final |
23 | | determination. Within 30 days of the request for Department |
24 | | review of the dispute, both the provider and the MCO shall |
25 | | present all relevant information to the Department for |
26 | | resolution and make individuals with knowledge of the issues |
|
| | HB0158 | - 211 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | available to the Department for further inquiry if needed. |
2 | | Within 30 days of receiving the relevant information on the |
3 | | dispute, or the lapse of the period for submitting such |
4 | | information, the Department shall issue a written decision on |
5 | | the dispute based on contractual terms between the provider |
6 | | and the MCO, contractual terms between the MCO and the |
7 | | Department of Healthcare and Family Services and applicable |
8 | | Medicaid policy. The decision of the Department shall be |
9 | | final. By January 1, 2020, the Department shall establish by |
10 | | rule further details of this dispute resolution process. |
11 | | Disputes between MCOs and providers presented to the |
12 | | Department for resolution are not contested cases, as defined |
13 | | in Section 1-30 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act, |
14 | | conferring any right to an administrative hearing. |
15 | | (g-9)(1) The Department shall publish annually on its |
16 | | website a report on the calculation of each managed care |
17 | | organization's medical loss ratio showing the following: |
18 | | (A) Premium revenue, with appropriate adjustments. |
19 | | (B) Benefit expense, setting forth the aggregate |
20 | | amount spent for the following: |
21 | | (i) Direct paid claims. |
22 | | (ii) Subcapitation payments. |
23 | | (iii)
Other claim payments. |
24 | | (iv)
Direct reserves. |
25 | | (v)
Gross recoveries. |
26 | | (vi)
Expenses for activities that improve health |
|
| | HB0158 | - 212 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | care quality as allowed by the Department. |
2 | | (2) The medical loss ratio shall be calculated consistent |
3 | | with federal law and regulation following a claims runout |
4 | | period determined by the Department. |
5 | | (g-10)(1) "Liability effective date" means the date on |
6 | | which an MCO becomes responsible for payment for medically |
7 | | necessary and covered services rendered by a provider to one |
8 | | of its enrollees in accordance with the contract terms between |
9 | | the MCO and the provider. The liability effective date shall |
10 | | be the later of: |
11 | | (A) The execution date of a network participation |
12 | | contract agreement. |
13 | | (B) The date the provider or its representative |
14 | | submits to the MCO the complete and accurate standardized |
15 | | roster form for the provider in the format approved by the |
16 | | Department. |
17 | | (C) The provider effective date contained within the |
18 | | Department's provider enrollment subsystem within the |
19 | | Illinois Medicaid Program Advanced Cloud Technology |
20 | | (IMPACT) System. |
21 | | (2) The standardized roster form may be submitted to the |
22 | | MCO at the same time that the provider submits an enrollment |
23 | | application to the Department through IMPACT. |
24 | | (3) By October 1, 2019, the Department shall require all |
25 | | MCOs to update their provider directory with information for |
26 | | new practitioners of existing contracted providers within 30 |
|
| | HB0158 | - 213 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | days of receipt of a complete and accurate standardized roster |
2 | | template in the format approved by the Department provided |
3 | | that the provider is effective in the Department's provider |
4 | | enrollment subsystem within the IMPACT system. Such provider |
5 | | directory shall be readily accessible for purposes of |
6 | | selecting an approved health care provider and comply with all |
7 | | other federal and State requirements. |
8 | | (g-11) The Department shall work with relevant |
9 | | stakeholders on the development of operational guidelines to |
10 | | enhance and improve operational performance of Illinois' |
11 | | Medicaid managed care program, including, but not limited to, |
12 | | improving provider billing practices, reducing claim |
13 | | rejections and inappropriate payment denials, and |
14 | | standardizing processes, procedures, definitions, and response |
15 | | timelines, with the goal of reducing provider and MCO |
16 | | administrative burdens and conflict. The Department shall |
17 | | include a report on the progress of these program improvements |
18 | | and other topics in its Fiscal Year 2020 annual report to the |
19 | | General Assembly. |
20 | | (g-12) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if the
|
21 | | Department or an MCO requires submission of a claim for |
22 | | payment
in a non-electronic format, a provider shall always be |
23 | | afforded
a period of no less than 90 business days, as a |
24 | | correction
period, following any notification of rejection by |
25 | | either the
Department or the MCO to correct errors or |
26 | | omissions in the
original submission. |
|
| | HB0158 | - 214 - | LRB102 10244 CPF 15570 b |
|
|
1 | | Under no circumstances, either by an MCO or under the
|
2 | | State's fee-for-service system, shall a provider be denied
|
3 | | payment for failure to comply with any timely submission
|
4 | | requirements under this Code or under any existing contract,
|
5 | | unless the non-electronic format claim submission occurs after
|
6 | | the initial 180 days following the latest date of service on
|
7 | | the claim, or after the 90 business days correction period
|
8 | | following notification to the provider of rejection or denial
|
9 | | of payment. |
10 | | (h) The Department shall not expand mandatory MCO |
11 | | enrollment into new counties beyond those counties already |
12 | | designated by the Department as of June 1, 2014 for the |
13 | | individuals whose eligibility for medical assistance is not |
14 | | the seniors or people with disabilities population until the |
15 | | Department provides an opportunity for accountable care |
16 | | entities and MCOs to participate in such newly designated |
|
