SYNOPSIS AS INTRODUCED:
 
See Index

    Creates the Adoptee Baseline Medical Testing Act. Requires medical intake forms for services provided by health care providers to include questions concerning the patient's adoption status and, if adopted, whether the patient has access to the patient's biological medical history. Provides that, if a patient has indicated on the medical intake form that the patient is adopted and does not have access to the patient's biological medical history, then, upon request by the patient or patient's parent or guardian, the health care provider shall provide no-cost, baseline testing with minimized time-bound restrictions for genetically predisposed conditions or diseases. Provides that if the patient or patient's parent or guardian requests such testing and the health care provider does not have personnel qualified to perform the testing, the health care provider must make a referral to another health care provider that is qualified to perform the testing and that will accept the referral. Subject to appropriation, requires the Department of Public Health, by rule, to create a State-funded system to pay for the baseline testing to the extent that another source does not cover the cost of the testing. Requires the Department of Public Health to develop educational materials and presentations for distribution to health care providers that provide information on the need for access to biological medical history and the detriments of lack of access to biological medical history for adoptees. Provides that the Department of Public Health shall administer and enforce the Act. Amends the Illinois Insurance Code to require coverage for baseline testing for genetically predisposed conditions or diseases if a patient has indicated on a medical intake form that the patient is adopted and does not have access to the patient's biological medical history. Provides that such a policy shall not impose a deductible, coinsurance, copayment, or any other cost-sharing requirement on the coverage provided. Makes conforming changes in the State Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971, the Counties Code, the Illinois Municipal Code, the School Code, the Health Maintenance Organization Act, the Limited Health Service Organization Act, the Voluntary Health Services Plans Act, and the Medical Assistance Article of the Illinois Public Aid Code.
