Bill Title: Amends the Illinois Insurance Code. Defines "surprise bill" to mean a bill for health care services received by certain out-of-network providers in which the enrollee did not knowingly elect to obtain those services from an out-of-network provider. Provides that a carrier shall require an enrollee to pay only certain expenses of a surprise bill that would be imposed for health care services if the services were rendered by a network provider. Provides for reimbursement to the out-of-network provider or enrollee at the average network rate, unless the carrier and out-of-network provider agree otherwise. Provides that if a carrier has an inadequate network, as determined by the Director of Insurance, the carrier shall ensure that the enrollee obtains covered service at no greater cost to the enrollee than if the service was obtained from a network provider or make other arrangements acceptable to the Director.
