Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Insurance Code to require coverage for rehabilitation therapy for brain injuries. Amends the State Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971, the Counties Code, the Illinois Municipal Code, the Health Maintenance Organization Act, and the Voluntary Health Services Plans Act to require the same coverage under those Acts. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement.

 Fiscal Note (Department of Central Management Services)
 HB 1488 will affect each of our managed care plans, but our Quality Care Health Plan (QCHP) typically covers these costs subject to medical necessity and until improvement and progress is no longer evident. According to our managed care vendors, this change would increase costs to the State by approximately $2.7 million.
