Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 15.5.

Conversion Privilege-Group Type Contracts.

(1) Every service plan contract of a health service plan corporation which
provides that the continued coverage of a beneficiary is contingent upon
the continued employment or membership of the subscriber with a particular
employer, union, or association shall further provide for the right of said
person to make application for an individual service plan contract under
the circumstances and in accordance with the requirements set forth in
Sections
367e and 367e.1 of the "Illinois Insurance Code".  The application of
Sections 367e and 367e.1 of the Code shall not be construed
in such a manner
as to require a health service plan corporation to furnish a service or
kind of benefit not customarily provided by such corporation and which is
inconsistent with the provision of this Act.

(2) The requirements of this Section shall apply to all such contracts
delivered, issued for delivery, renewed or amended on or after 180 days
following the effective date of this Section.
