   305 ILCS 5/5-5.04 new                                                       

        Amends the Medicaid Article of  the  Illinois  Public  Aid  Code.      
   Provides  that  the Illinois Department of Public Aid shall develop an      
   automated system for providing reimbursements to providers of  service      
   under  the  Medicaid  program,  subject  to  funds  availability.  The      
   Department shall  assist  service  providers  to  make  their  systems      
   compatible  with  the  automated system which must be able to link the      
   Department electronically with providers by which each  provider  will      
   make  claims  when  the  system  is operational.  The Department shall      
   charge a fee in an amount necessary to cover  the  costs  of  manually      
   processing   the   claims   to   providers  not  making  their  claims      
   electronically.  The Department shall pay claims  made  electronically      
   not later than the 30th day after the date the claim is made and shall      
   adopt  rules  and  make  policy  changes  as  necessary to improve the      
   efficiency and capabilities  of  the  system.   The  Department  shall      
   implement the nursing facilities reimbursement component by January 1,      
   1999,  determine  deadlines  for  using  the system for other Medicaid      
   components,  and  reduce  staff  and   purchases   as   savings   from      
   implementing the system are realized.                                       
          STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE                                           
          In the opinion of DCCA, HB 980 creates a service mandate for         
          which reimbursement of 50% to 100% of the increased cost to          
          units of local government is required. Due to the nature of the      
          bill, no estimate of the cost can be determined.                     
          FISCAL IMPACT NOTE (Dept. of Public Aid)                             
          The fiscal impact of billing providers for processing hard copy      
          claims cannot be estimated, as the number of providers that          
          would continue submitting these claims is unknown.
