2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The University of Illinois Hospital Act is
5 amended by changing Section 5 as follows:
6 (110 ILCS 330/5) (from Ch. 23, par. 1375)
7 Sec. 5. Charges for hospital services. The University
8 may establish and collect charges for hospital services
9 rendered in the University of Illinois Hospital or in
10 connection with a University health care program. However,
11 with respect to health care professional services rendered in
12 connection with a University health care program at the
13 University of Illinois Hospital or elsewhere by the Doctors
14 of Medicine, the Doctors of Dentistry, or other health care
15 professionals who are members of the University faculty,
16 charges for such professional services shall not be
17 established or collected by the University or the University
18 of Illinois Hospital but may be by said members of said
19 faculty who render such services under a plan or plans
20 organized and administered by them. All such charges shall be
21 deposited in a special fund or funds in the treasury of the
22 University. The billing, collecting and disbursing of any
23 such fund shall remain exclusively under the supervision and
24 control of such faculty under a plan or plans established by
25 them for the general benefit and support of University
26 programs and activities related to the health professions,
27 provided no charges may be made or collected until such plan
28 has been approved by the University. However, no person shall
29 make or collect a personal or professional charge for his own
30 account for treating, caring for or nursing a patient in the
31 University of Illinois Hospital or in connection with a
-2- LRB9208180NTsb
1 University health care program. Nothing herein shall prevent
2 the University from approving a plan under which any such
3 fund in the University treasury may be utilized in paying the
4 University salaries of such faculty members, or from
5 assisting in the billing and collection of professional
6 charges if all University costs in connection therewith are
7 paid from the charges so collected.
