Amends the Medical Assistance Article of the Illinois Public Aid Code. Requires the Department of Healthcare and Family Services to adopt rules which establish a policy of bed reserve payments to Intermediate Care Facilities for the Developmentally Disabled (ICF/DDs) which addresses the needs of facility residents and their families. Requires the Department to set, by rule, certain bed reserve payment rates based on the length of time a resident of an ICF/DD is absent from the ICF/DD (i) for purposes of a physician-authorized in-patient admission to a hospital or (ii) for purposes of a home visit with a family member. Provides that no Department rule regarding bed reserve payments shall require an ICF/DD to have a specified percentage of total facility occupancy as a requirement for receiving bed reserve payments. Exempts State-operated facilities from the provisions of this amendatory Act. Effective immediately.
