| |||||||
1 | AN ACT concerning public aid.
| ||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||
3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||
4 | ARTICLE 1. | ||||||
5 | SHORT TITLE, PRIOR LAW, AND DEFINITIONS | ||||||
6 | Section 1-101. Short title. This Act may be cited as the | ||||||
7 | Specialized Mental Health Rehabilitation Act of 2013.
| ||||||
8 | Section 1-101.3. Legislative findings. Illinois is | ||||||
9 | committed to providing behavioral health services in the most | ||||||
10 | community-integrated settings possible, based on the needs of | ||||||
11 | consumers who qualify for State support. This goal is | ||||||
12 | consistent with federal law and regulations and recent court | ||||||
13 | decrees. A variety of services and settings are necessary to | ||||||
14 | ensure that people with serious mental illness receive high | ||||||
15 | quality care that is oriented toward their safety, | ||||||
16 | rehabilitation, and recovery. | ||||||
17 | The State of Illinois has an inordinately high inpatient | ||||||
18 | hospitalization rate for behavioral health services. This is | ||||||
19 | not productive for those needing behavioral health services. It | ||||||
20 | is also the least cost effective form of behavioral health | ||||||
21 | delivery possible. The General Assembly finds that | ||||||
22 | alternatives to inpatient hospitalization for behavioral |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | health are necessary to both improve outcomes and reduce costs. | ||||||
2 | Residential settings are an important component of the | ||||||
3 | system of behavioral health care that Illinois is developing. | ||||||
4 | When residential treatment is necessary, these facilities must | ||||||
5 | offer high quality rehabilitation and recovery care, help | ||||||
6 | consumers achieve and maintain their highest level of | ||||||
7 | independent functioning, and prepare them to live in permanent | ||||||
8 | supportive housing and other community-integrated settings. | ||||||
9 | Facilities licensed under this Act will be multi-faceted | ||||||
10 | facilities that provide triage and crisis stabilization to | ||||||
11 | inpatient hospitalization, provide stabilization for those in | ||||||
12 | post crisis stabilization, and provide transitional living | ||||||
13 | assistance to prepare those with serious mental illness to | ||||||
14 | reintegrate successfully into community living settings. Those | ||||||
15 | licensed under this Act will provide care under a coordinated | ||||||
16 | care model and seek appropriate national accreditation and | ||||||
17 | provide productive and measurable outcomes.
| ||||||
18 | Section 1-101.5. Prior law. | ||||||
19 | (a) This Act provides for licensure of long term care | ||||||
20 | facilities that are federally designated as institutions for | ||||||
21 | the mentally diseased on the effective date of this Act and | ||||||
22 | specialize in providing services to individuals with a serious | ||||||
23 | mental illness. On and after the effective date of this Act, | ||||||
24 | these facilities shall be governed by this Act instead of the | ||||||
25 | Nursing Home Care Act. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (b) All consent decrees that apply to facilities federally | ||||||
2 | designated as institutions for the mentally diseased shall | ||||||
3 | continue to apply to facilities licensed under this Act.
| ||||||
4 | Section 1-101.6. Mental health system planning. The | ||||||
5 | General Assembly finds the services contained in this Act are | ||||||
6 | necessary for the effective delivery of mental health services | ||||||
7 | for the citizens of the State of Illinois. The General Assembly | ||||||
8 | also finds that the mental health system in the State requires | ||||||
9 | further review to develop additional needed services. To ensure | ||||||
10 | the adequacy of community-based services and to offer choice to | ||||||
11 | all individuals with serious mental illness who choose to live | ||||||
12 | in the community, and for whom the community is the appropriate | ||||||
13 | setting, but are at risk of institutional care, the Governor | ||||||
14 | shall convene a working group to develop the process and | ||||||
15 | procedure for identifying needed services in the different | ||||||
16 | geographic regions of the State. The Governor shall include the | ||||||
17 | Division of Mental Health of the Department of Human Services, | ||||||
18 | the Department of Healthcare and Family Services, the | ||||||
19 | Department of Public Health, community mental health | ||||||
20 | providers, statewide associations of mental health providers, | ||||||
21 | mental health advocacy groups, and any other entity as deemed | ||||||
22 | appropriate for participation in the working group. The | ||||||
23 | Department of Human Services shall provide staff and support to | ||||||
24 | this working group.

5 | older seeking admission to the facility, unless a background | ||||||
6 | check was initiated by a hospital pursuant to subsection (d) of | ||||||

8 | conducted pursuant to this Section shall be based on the | ||||||
9 | consumer's name, date of birth, and other identifiers as | ||||||
10 | required by the Department of State Police. If the results of | ||||||
11 | the background check are inconclusive, the facility shall | ||||||
12 | initiate a fingerprint-based check, unless the fingerprint | ||||||
13 | check is waived by the Director of Public Health based on | ||||||
14 | verification by the facility that the consumer meets criteria | ||||||
15 | related to the consumer's health or lack of potential risk | ||||||
16 | which may be established by Departmental rule. A waiver issued | ||||||
17 | pursuant to this Section shall be valid only while the consumer | ||||||
18 | is immobile or while the criteria supporting the waiver exist. | ||||||
19 | The facility shall provide for or arrange for any required | ||||||
20 | fingerprint-based checks to be taken on the premises of the | ||||||
21 | facility. If a fingerprint-based check is required, the | ||||||
22 | facility shall arrange for it to be conducted in a manner that | ||||||
23 | is respectful of the consumer's dignity and that minimizes any | ||||||
24 | emotional or physical hardship to the consumer. | ||||||
25 | (b) If the results of a consumer's criminal history | ||||||
26 | background check reveal that the consumer is an identified |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | offender as defined in this Act, the facility shall do the | ||||||
2 | following: | ||||||
3 | (1) Immediately notify the Department of State Police, | ||||||
4 | in the form and manner required by the Department of State | ||||||
5 | Police, in collaboration with the Department of Public | ||||||
6 | Health, that the consumer is an identified offender. | ||||||
7 | (2) Within 72 hours, arrange for a fingerprint-based

| |||||||
| |||||||

19 | consumer, the consumer shall be discharged upon written consent | ||||||
20 | of his or her guardian. In the event of a requested consumer | ||||||
21 | discharge, the facility is relieved from any responsibility for | ||||||

17 | person or person's records for a retrospective study about the | ||||||
18 | safety or efficacy of any care or treatment, without the prior | ||||||
19 | written approval of the institutional review board. No | ||||||
20 | executive director, or person licensed by the State to provide | ||||||
21 | medical care or treatment to any person, may assist or | ||||||
22 | participate in any experimental research on or treatment of a | ||||||
23 | consumer, including a retrospective study, that does not have | ||||||

6 | prevent a facility, any facility employee, or any other person | ||||||
7 | from assisting or participating in any experimental research on | ||||||
8 | or treatment of a consumer, if the research or treatment began | ||||||
9 | before the person's admission to a facility, until the board | ||||||
10 | has reviewed the research or treatment and decided to grant or | ||||||
11 | deny approval or to exempt the research or treatment from | ||||||
12 | ongoing review.

14 | copy of the court of conviction. | ||||||
15 | (c) Facilities, as a result of an on-site survey, shall be | ||||||
16 | recognized according to levels of compliance with standards as | ||||||
17 | set forth in this Act. Facilities with findings from Level 1 to | ||||||
18 | Level 3 will be considered to be in good standing with the | ||||||
19 | Department. Findings from Level 3 to Level 5 will result in a | ||||||
20 | notice of violations, a plan of correction and defined | ||||||
21 | sanctions. Findings resulting in Level 6 will result in a | ||||||
22 | notice of violations and defined sanction. The levels of | ||||||
23 | compliance are:
| ||||||
24 | (1) Level 1: Full compliance with this Act and the | ||||||
25 | rules promulgated under this Act.
| ||||||
26 | (2) Level 2: Acceptable compliance with this Act and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the rules promulgated under this Act. No written plan of | ||||||
2 | correction will be required from the licensee. | ||||||
3 | (3) Level 3: Partial compliance with this Act and the | ||||||
4 | rules promulgated under this Act. An administrative | ||||||
5 | warning is issued. The licensee shall submit a written plan | ||||||
6 | of correction.
| ||||||
7 | (4) Level 4: Minimal compliance with this Act and the | ||||||
8 | rules promulgated under this Act. The licensee shall submit | ||||||
9 | a written plan of correction, and the Department will issue | ||||||
10 | a probationary license. A resurvey shall occur within 90 | ||||||

16 | shall occur within 60 days.
| ||||||
17 | (6) Level 6: Revocation of the license to provide | ||||||
18 | services. Revocation may occur as a result of a licensee's | ||||||
19 | consistent and repeated failure to take necessary | ||||||
20 | corrective actions to rectify documented violations, or | ||||||
21 | the failure to protect clients from situations that produce | ||||||
22 | an imminent risk.
| ||||||
23 | (d) Prior to initiating formal action to sanction a | ||||||
24 | license, the Department shall allow the licensee an opportunity | ||||||
25 | to take corrective action to eliminate or ameliorate a | ||||||
26 | violation of this Act except in cases in which the Department |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | determines that emergency action is necessary to protect the | ||||||
2 | public or individual interest, safety, or welfare. | ||||||
3 | (e) Subsequent to an on-site survey, the Department shall | ||||||
4 | issue a written notice to the licensee. The Department shall | ||||||
5 | specify the particular Sections of this Act or the rules | ||||||
6 | promulgated under this Act, if any, with which the facility is | ||||||
7 | not compliant. The Department's notice shall require any | ||||||
8 | corrective actions be taken within a specified time period as | ||||||
9 | required by this Act. | ||||||
10 | (f) Sanctions shall be imposed according to the following | ||||||
11 | definitions: | ||||||
12 | (1) Administrative notice: A written notice issued by | ||||||
13 | the Department that specifies rule violations requiring a | ||||||
14 | written plan of correction with time frames for corrections | ||||||
15 | to be made and a notice that any additional violation of | ||||||
16 | this Act or the rules promulgated under this Act may result | ||||||
17 | in a higher level sanction. (Level 3) | ||||||
18 | (2) Probation: Compliance with this Act and the rules | ||||||
19 | promulgated under this Act is minimally acceptable and | ||||||
20 | necessitates immediate corrective action. Individuals' | ||||||
21 | life safety or quality of care are not in jeopardy. The | ||||||
22 | probationary period is time limited to 90 days. During the | ||||||
23 | probationary period, the facility must make corrective | ||||||
24 | changes sufficient to bring the facility back into good | ||||||
25 | standing with the Department. Failure to make corrective | ||||||
26 | changes within that given time frame may result in a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | determination to initiate a higher-level sanction. The | ||||||
2 | admission of new individuals shall be prohibited during the | ||||||
3 | probationary period. (Level 4) | ||||||
4 | (3) Restricted license: A licensee is sanctioned for | ||||||
5 | unsatisfactory compliance. The admission of new | ||||||
6 | individuals shall be prohibited during the restricted | ||||||
7 | licensure period. Corrective action sufficient to bring | ||||||
8 | the licensee back into good standing with the Department | ||||||
9 | must be taken within 60 days. During the restricted | ||||||
10 | licensure period a monitor will be assigned to oversee the | ||||||
11 | progress of the facility in taking corrective action. If | ||||||
12 | corrective actions are not taken, the facility will be | ||||||
13 | subject to a higher-level sanction. (Level 5) | ||||||
14 | (4) Revocation: Revocation of the license is | ||||||
15 | withdrawal by formal actions of the license. The revocation | ||||||
16 | shall be in effect until such time that the provider | ||||||
17 | submits a re-application and the licensee can demonstrate | ||||||
18 | its ability to operate in good standing with the | ||||||
19 | Department. The Department has the right not to reinstate a | ||||||
20 | license. If revocation occurs as a result of imminent risk, | ||||||
21 | all individuals shall be immediately relocated and all | ||||||
22 | funding will be transferred. (Level 6)
| ||||||
23 | (5) Financial penalty: A financial penalty may be | ||||||
24 | imposed upon finding of violation in any one or combination | ||||||
25 | of the provisions of this Act. In determining an | ||||||
26 | appropriate financial penalty, the Department may consider |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the deterrent effect of the penalty on the organization and | ||||||
2 | on other providers, the nature of the violation, the degree | ||||||
3 | to which the violation resulted in a benefit to the | ||||||
4 | organization or harm to the public, and any other relevant | ||||||
5 | factor to be examined in mitigation or aggravation of the | ||||||
6 | organization's conduct. The financial penalty may be | ||||||
7 | imposed in conjunction with other sanctions or separately. | ||||||
8 | Higher level sanctions may be imposed in situations where | ||||||
9 | there are repeat violations.
| ||||||
10 | Section 4-110. Citation review and appeal procedures. | ||||||
11 | (a) Upon receipt of Level 3 to 6 citations, the licensee | ||||||
12 | may provide additional written information and argument | ||||||
13 | disputing the citation with 10 working days. The Department | ||||||
14 | shall respond within 20 days to the licensee's disputation. | ||||||
15 | (b) If a licensee contests the Department's decision | ||||||
16 | regarding a Level 4 to 6 citation or penalty, it can request a | ||||||
17 | hearing by submitting a written request within 20 working days | ||||||
18 | of the Department's dispute resolution decision. The | ||||||
19 | Department shall notify the licensee of the time and place of | ||||||
20 | the hearing not less than 14 days prior to the hearing date. | ||||||
21 | (c) A license may not be denied or revoked unless the | ||||||
22 | licensee is given written notice of the grounds for the | ||||||
23 | Department's action. Except when revocation of a license is | ||||||
24 | based on imminent risk, the facility or program whose license | ||||||
25 | has been revoked may operate and receive reimbursement for |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | services during the period preceding the hearing, until such | ||||||
2 | time as a final decision is made.

| ||||||
24 | The registration officer shall satisfy himself that each | ||||||
25 | applicant

| ||||||
12 | In case the officer is not satisfied that the applicant is | ||||||

24 | seal the ballots in an envelope and affix their signatures | ||||||
25 | across
the flap of the envelope. Immediately thereafter, the | ||||||
26 | judges
shall bring the sealed envelope to the office of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | election authority
who shall deliver such ballots to the | ||||||
2 | election authority's central ballot counting location prior to
| ||||||
3 | the closing of the polls on the day of election. The judges of | ||||||
4 | election shall
also report to the election authority the name | ||||||
5 | of any applicant in the home, hospital, or facility
who, due to | ||||||
6 | unforeseen circumstance or condition or because
of a religious | ||||||
7 | holiday, was unable to vote. In this event, the election
| ||||||
8 | authority may appoint a qualified person from his or its staff | ||||||
9 | to deliver
the ballot to such applicant on the day of election. | ||||||
10 | This staff person
shall follow the same procedures prescribed | ||||||
11 | for judges conducting absentee
voting in such homes, hospitals, | ||||||
12 | or facilities and shall return the ballot to the central ballot | ||||||
13 | counting location before the polls close. However, if the home, | ||||||
14 | hospital, or facility from
which the application was made is | ||||||
15 | also used as a regular precinct polling place
for that voter, | ||||||
16 | voting procedures heretofore prescribed may be implemented by 2
| ||||||
17 | of the election judges of opposite party affiliation assigned | ||||||
18 | to that polling
place during the hours of voting on the day of | ||||||
19 | the election. Judges of election
shall be compensated not less | ||||||
20 | than $25.00 for conducting absentee voting in
such homes, | ||||||
21 | hospitals, or facilities.
| ||||||
22 | Not less than 120 days before each regular election, the | ||||||
23 | Department
of Public Health shall certify to the State Board of | ||||||
24 | Elections a list of
the facilities licensed or certified | ||||||
25 | pursuant to the Nursing Home Care
Act, the Specialized Mental | ||||||
26 | Health Rehabilitation Act of 2013 , or the ID/DD Community Care |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Act. The lists shall indicate the approved bed capacity and the | ||||||
2 | name of
the chief administrative officer of each such home, | ||||||
3 | hospital, or facility, and the State Board
of Elections shall | ||||||
4 | certify the same to the appropriate election authority
within | ||||||
5 | 20 days thereafter.

| ||||||
8 | Section 6-110. The Mental Health and Developmental | ||||||
9 | Disabilities Administrative Act is amended by changing Section | ||||||
10 | 15 as follows:
| ||||||
11 | (20 ILCS 1705/15) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 100-15) | ||||||
12 | Sec. 15. Before any person is released from a facility
| ||||||
13 | operated by the State pursuant to an absolute discharge or a
| ||||||
14 | conditional discharge from hospitalization under this Act, the
| ||||||
15 | facility director of the facility in which such person is
| ||||||
16 | hospitalized shall determine that such person is not currently
| ||||||
17 | in need of hospitalization and:
| ||||||
18 | (a) is able to live independently in the community; or
| ||||||
19 | (b) requires further oversight and supervisory care | ||||||
20 | for which
arrangements have been made with responsible | ||||||
21 | relatives
or supervised residential program approved by | ||||||
22 | the Department; or
| ||||||
23 | (c) requires further personal care or general | ||||||
24 | oversight as
defined by the ID/DD Community Care Act or the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Specialized Mental Health Rehabilitation Act of 2013 , for | ||||||
2 | which
placement arrangements have been made with a suitable | ||||||
3 | family
home or other licensed facility approved by the | ||||||
4 | Department under this
Section; or
| ||||||
5 | (d) requires community mental health services for | ||||||
6 | which arrangements
have been made with a community mental | ||||||
7 | health provider in accordance
with criteria, standards, | ||||||
8 | and procedures promulgated by rule.
| ||||||
9 | Such determination shall be made in writing and shall | ||||||
10 | become a
part of the facility record of such absolutely or
| ||||||
11 | conditionally discharged person. When the determination | ||||||
12 | indicates that the
condition of the person to be granted an | ||||||
13 | absolute discharge or
a conditional discharge is described | ||||||
14 | under subparagraph (c) or (d) of
this Section, the name and | ||||||
15 | address of the continuing care
facility or home to which such | ||||||
16 | person is to be released shall
be entered in the facility | ||||||
17 | record. Where a discharge from a
mental health facility is made | ||||||
18 | under subparagraph (c), the
Department
shall assign the person | ||||||
19 | so discharged to an existing community
based not-for-profit | ||||||
20 | agency for participation in day activities
suitable to the | ||||||
21 | person's needs, such as but not limited to
social and | ||||||
22 | vocational rehabilitation, and other recreational,
educational | ||||||
23 | and financial activities unless the community based
| ||||||
24 | not-for-profit agency is unqualified to accept such | ||||||
25 | assignment.
Where the clientele
of any not-for-profit
agency | ||||||
26 | increases as
a result of assignments under this amendatory Act |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of
1977 by
more than 3% over the prior year, the Department | ||||||
2 | shall fully
reimburse such agency for the costs of providing
| ||||||
3 | services to
such persons in excess of such 3% increase.
The | ||||||
4 | Department shall keep written records detailing how many | ||||||
5 | persons have
been assigned to a community based not-for-profit | ||||||
6 | agency and how many persons
were not so assigned because the | ||||||
7 | community based agency was unable to
accept the assignments, in | ||||||
8 | accordance with criteria, standards, and procedures
| ||||||
9 | promulgated by rule. Whenever a community based agency is found | ||||||
10 | to be
unable to accept the assignments, the name of the agency | ||||||
11 | and the reason for the
finding shall be
included in the report.
| ||||||
12 | Insofar as desirable in the interests of the former | ||||||
13 | recipient, the
facility, program or home in which the | ||||||
14 | discharged person
is to be placed shall be located in or near | ||||||
15 | the community in which the
person resided prior to | ||||||
16 | hospitalization or in the community in
which the person's | ||||||
17 | family or nearest next of kin presently reside.
Placement of | ||||||
18 | the discharged person in facilities, programs or homes located
| ||||||
19 | outside of this State shall not be made by the Department | ||||||
20 | unless
there are no appropriate facilities, programs or homes | ||||||
21 | available within this
State. Out-of-state placements shall be | ||||||
22 | subject to return of recipients
so placed upon the availability | ||||||
23 | of facilities, programs or homes within this
State to | ||||||
24 | accommodate these recipients, except where placement in a | ||||||
25 | contiguous
state results in locating a recipient in a facility | ||||||
26 | or program closer to the
recipient's home or family. If an |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | appropriate facility or program becomes
available equal to or | ||||||
2 | closer to the recipient's home or family, the recipient
shall | ||||||
3 | be returned to and placed at the appropriate facility or | ||||||
4 | program within
this State.
| ||||||
5 | To place any person who is under a program of the | ||||||
6 | Department
at board in a suitable family home or in such other | ||||||
7 | facility or program as
the Department may consider desirable. | ||||||
8 | The Department may place
in licensed nursing homes, sheltered | ||||||
9 | care homes, or homes for
the aged those persons whose | ||||||
10 | behavioral manifestations and medical
and nursing care needs | ||||||
11 | are such as to be substantially indistinguishable
from persons | ||||||
12 | already living in such facilities. Prior to any
placement by | ||||||
13 | the Department under this Section, a determination
shall be | ||||||
14 | made by the personnel of the
Department, as to the capability | ||||||
15 | and suitability of such
facility to adequately meet the needs | ||||||
16 | of the person to be
discharged. When specialized
programs are | ||||||
17 | necessary in order to enable persons in need of
supervised | ||||||
18 | living to develop and improve in the community, the
Department | ||||||
19 | shall place such persons only in specialized residential
care | ||||||
20 | facilities which shall meet Department standards including
| ||||||
21 | restricted admission policy, special staffing and programming
| ||||||
22 | for social and vocational rehabilitation, in addition to the
| ||||||
23 | requirements of the appropriate State licensing agency. The
| ||||||
24 | Department shall not place any new person in a facility the
| ||||||
25 | license of which has been revoked or not renewed on grounds
of | ||||||
26 | inadequate programming, staffing, or medical or adjunctive
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | services, regardless of the pendency of an action
for | ||||||
2 | administrative review regarding such revocation or failure
to | ||||||
3 | renew. Before the Department may transfer any person to a
| ||||||
4 | licensed nursing home, sheltered care home or home for the
aged | ||||||
5 | or place any person in a specialized residential care
facility | ||||||
6 | the Department shall notify the person to be
transferred, or a | ||||||
7 | responsible relative of such person, in
writing, at least 30 | ||||||
8 | days before the proposed transfer, with
respect to all the | ||||||
9 | relevant facts concerning such transfer,
except in cases of | ||||||
10 | emergency when such notice is not required.
If either the | ||||||
11 | person to be transferred or a responsible
relative of such | ||||||
12 | person objects to such transfer, in writing
to the Department, | ||||||
13 | at any time after receipt of notice and
before the transfer, | ||||||
14 | the facility director of the facility in
which the person was a | ||||||
15 | recipient shall immediately schedule a
hearing at the facility | ||||||
16 | with the presence of the facility director,
the person who | ||||||
17 | objected to such proposed transfer, and a
psychiatrist who is | ||||||
18 | familiar with the record of the person
to be transferred. Such | ||||||
19 | person to be transferred or a
responsible relative may be | ||||||
20 | represented by such counsel or
interested party as he may | ||||||
21 | appoint, who may present such
testimony with respect to the | ||||||
22 | proposed transfer. Testimony
presented at such hearing shall | ||||||
23 | become a part of the facility
record of the | ||||||
24 | person-to-be-transferred. The record of testimony
shall be | ||||||
25 | held in the person-to-be-transferred's record in the
central | ||||||
26 | files of the facility. If such hearing is held a transfer
may |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | only be implemented, if at all, in accordance with the results
| ||||||
2 | of such hearing. Within 15 days after such hearing the
facility | ||||||
3 | director shall deliver his findings based
on the record of the | ||||||
4 | case and the testimony presented at the hearing,
by registered | ||||||
5 | or certified mail, to the parties to such hearing.
The findings | ||||||
6 | of the facility director shall be
deemed a final administrative | ||||||
7 | decision of the Department. For purposes of
this Section, "case | ||||||
8 | of emergency" means those instances in
which the health of the | ||||||
9 | person to be transferred is imperiled
and the most appropriate | ||||||
10 | mental health care or medical care is
available at a licensed | ||||||
11 | nursing home, sheltered care home or
home for the aged or a | ||||||
12 | specialized residential care facility.
| ||||||
13 | Prior to placement of any person in a facility under this
| ||||||
14 | Section the Department shall ensure that an appropriate | ||||||
15 | training
plan for staff is provided by the facility.
Said | ||||||
16 | training may include instruction and demonstration
by | ||||||
17 | Department personnel qualified in the area of mental illness
or | ||||||
18 | intellectual disabilities, as applicable to the person to be | ||||||
19 | placed. Training may
be given both at the facility from which
| ||||||
20 | the recipient is transferred and at the facility receiving
the | ||||||
21 | recipient, and may be available on a continuing basis
| ||||||
22 | subsequent to placement. In a facility providing services to | ||||||
23 | former Department
recipients, training shall be available as | ||||||
24 | necessary for
facility staff. Such training will be on a | ||||||
25 | continuing basis
as the needs of the facility and recipients | ||||||
26 | change and further
training is required.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The Department shall not place any person in a facility
| ||||||
2 | which does not have appropriately trained staff in sufficient
| ||||||
3 | numbers to accommodate the recipient population already at the
| ||||||
4 | facility. As a condition of further or future placements of
| ||||||
5 | persons, the Department shall require the employment of | ||||||
6 | additional
trained staff members at the facility where said | ||||||
7 | persons are
to be placed. The Secretary, or his or her | ||||||
8 | designate,
shall establish written guidelines for placement of | ||||||
9 | persons in facilities
under this Act.
The Department shall keep | ||||||
10 | written records detailing which facilities have
been
| ||||||
11 | determined to have staff who have been appropriately trained by | ||||||
12 | the
Department and
all training which it has provided or
| ||||||
13 | required under this Section.
| ||||||
14 | Bills for the support for a person boarded out shall be
| ||||||
15 | payable monthly out of the proper maintenance funds and shall
| ||||||
16 | be audited as any other accounts of the Department. If a
person | ||||||
17 | is placed in a facility or program outside the Department, the
| ||||||
18 | Department may pay the actual costs of residence, treatment
or | ||||||
19 | maintenance in such facility and may collect such actual
costs | ||||||
20 | or a portion thereof from the recipient or the estate of
a | ||||||
21 | person placed in accordance with this Section.
| ||||||
22 | Other than those placed in a family home the Department
| ||||||
23 | shall cause all persons who are placed in a facility, as | ||||||
24 | defined by the
ID/DD Community Care Act or the Specialized | ||||||
25 | Mental Health Rehabilitation Act of 2013 , or in designated | ||||||
26 | community living
situations or programs, to be visited at least |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | once during the first month
following placement, and once every | ||||||
2 | month thereafter
for the first year following placement
when | ||||||
3 | indicated, but at least quarterly.
After the
first year, the | ||||||
4 | Department shall determine at what point the appropriate
| ||||||
5 | licensing entity for the facility or designated community | ||||||
6 | living situation or
program will assume the responsibility of | ||||||
7 | ensuring that appropriate services
are being provided to the | ||||||
8 | resident. Once that responsibility is assumed, the
Department | ||||||
9 | may discontinue such visits. If a long term care
facility has | ||||||
10 | periodic care plan conferences, the visitor may participate
in | ||||||
11 | those conferences, if such participation is approved by the | ||||||
12 | resident or the
resident's guardian.
Visits shall be made by | ||||||
13 | qualified
and trained Department personnel, or their designee,
| ||||||
14 | in the area of mental health or developmental disabilities
| ||||||
15 | applicable to the person visited, and shall be made on a
more | ||||||
16 | frequent basis when indicated. The Department may not use as
| ||||||
17 | designee any personnel connected with or responsible to the | ||||||
18 | representatives
of any facility in which persons who have been | ||||||
19 | transferred under this
Section are placed. In the course of | ||||||
20 | such visit there shall be
consideration of the following areas, | ||||||
21 | but not limited
thereto: effects of transfer on physical and | ||||||
22 | mental health
of the person, sufficiency of nursing care and | ||||||
23 | medical coverage
required by the person, sufficiency of staff | ||||||
24 | personnel and
ability to provide basic care for the person, | ||||||
25 | social, recreational
and programmatic activities available for | ||||||
26 | the person, and other
appropriate aspects of the person's |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | environment.
| ||||||
2 | A report containing the above observations shall be made
to | ||||||
3 | the Department, to the licensing agency, and to any other | ||||||
4 | appropriate
agency
subsequent to each visitation. The report | ||||||
5 | shall contain
recommendations to improve the care and treatment | ||||||
6 | of the resident, as
necessary, which shall be reviewed by the | ||||||
7 | facility's interdisciplinary team and
the resident or the | ||||||
8 | resident's legal guardian.
| ||||||
9 | Upon the complaint of any person placed in accordance
with | ||||||
10 | this Section or any responsible citizen or upon discovery
that | ||||||
11 | such person has been abused, neglected, or improperly cared
| ||||||
12 | for, or that the placement does not provide the type of care | ||||||
13 | required by
the recipient's current condition, the Department
| ||||||
14 | immediately shall investigate, and determine if the | ||||||
15 | well-being, health,
care, or safety of any person is affected | ||||||
16 | by any of the above occurrences,
and if any one of the above | ||||||
17 | occurrences is verified, the Department shall
remove such | ||||||
18 | person at once to a facility of the Department
or to another | ||||||
19 | facility outside the Department, provided such
person's needs | ||||||
20 | can be met at said facility. The Department may
also provide | ||||||
21 | any person placed in accordance with this Section
who is | ||||||
22 | without available funds, and who is permitted to engage
in | ||||||
23 | employment outside the facility, such sums for the | ||||||
24 | transportation,
and other expenses as may be needed by him | ||||||
25 | until he receives
his wages for such employment.
| ||||||
26 | The Department shall promulgate rules and regulations
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | governing the purchase of care for persons who are wards of
or | ||||||
2 | who are receiving services from the Department. Such rules
and | ||||||
3 | regulations shall apply to all monies expended by any agency
of | ||||||
4 | the State of Illinois for services rendered by any person,
| ||||||
5 | corporate entity, agency, governmental agency or political
| ||||||
6 | subdivision whether public or private outside of the Department
| ||||||
7 | whether payment is made through a contractual, per-diem or
| ||||||
8 | other arrangement. No funds shall be paid to any person,
| ||||||
9 | corporation, agency, governmental entity or political
| ||||||
10 | subdivision without compliance with such rules and | ||||||
11 | regulations.
| ||||||
12 | The rules and regulations governing purchase of care shall
| ||||||
13 | describe categories and types of service deemed appropriate
for | ||||||
14 | purchase by the Department.
| ||||||
15 | Any provider of services under this Act may elect to | ||||||
16 | receive payment
for those services, and the Department is | ||||||
17 | authorized to arrange for that
payment, by means of direct | ||||||
18 | deposit transmittals to the service provider's
account | ||||||
19 | maintained at a bank, savings and loan association, or other
| ||||||
20 | financial institution. The financial institution shall be | ||||||
21 | approved by the
Department, and the deposits shall be in | ||||||
22 | accordance with rules and
regulations adopted by the | ||||||
23 | Department.

the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of 6.25% of | ||||||
5 | the "selling price",
as defined in Section 2 of the Service Use | ||||||
6 | Tax Act, of the tangible
personal property. For the purpose of | ||||||
7 | computing this tax, in no event
shall the "selling price" be | ||||||
8 | less than the cost price to the serviceman of
the tangible | ||||||
9 | personal property transferred. The selling price of each item
| ||||||
10 | of tangible personal property transferred as an incident of a | ||||||
11 | sale of
service may be shown as a distinct and separate item on | ||||||
12 | the serviceman's
billing to the service customer. If the | ||||||
13 | selling price is not so shown, the
selling price of the | ||||||
14 | tangible personal property is deemed to be 50% of the
| ||||||
15 | serviceman's entire billing to the service customer. When, | ||||||
16 | however, a
serviceman contracts to design, develop, and produce | ||||||
17 | special order machinery or
equipment, the tax imposed by this | ||||||
18 | Act shall be based on the serviceman's
cost price of the | ||||||
19 | tangible personal property transferred incident to the
| ||||||
20 | completion of the contract.
| ||||||
21 | Beginning on July 1, 2000 and through December 31, 2000, | ||||||

| ||||||
25 | With respect to gasohol, as defined in the Use Tax Act, the |
| |||||||

an incident to the sale of | ||||||
3 | service on or after January 1, 1990, and before
July 1, 2003, | ||||||
4 | (ii) 80% of the selling price of property transferred as an

If, at any time, however, the tax under this Act on | ||||||
8 | sales of gasohol, as
defined in
the Use Tax Act, is imposed at | ||||||
9 | the rate of 1.25%, then the
tax imposed by this Act applies to | ||||||

| ||||||
11 | With respect to majority blended ethanol fuel, as defined | ||||||
12 | in the Use Tax Act,

14 | the sale of service on or after July 1, 2003 and on or before

16 | thereafter.
| ||||||
17 | With respect to biodiesel blends, as defined in the Use Tax | ||||||
18 | Act, with no less

20 | of property transferred as an incident
to the sale of service | ||||||
21 | on or after July 1, 2003 and on or before December 31, 2018
and | ||||||
22 | (ii) 100% of the proceeds of the selling price
thereafter.
If, | ||||||
23 | at any time, however, the tax under this Act on sales of | ||||||
24 | biodiesel blends,
as
defined in the Use Tax Act, with no less | ||||||
25 | than 1% and no more than 10% biodiesel
is imposed at the rate | ||||||
26 | of 1.25%, then the
tax imposed by this Act applies to 100% of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the proceeds of sales of biodiesel
blends with no less than 1% | ||||||
2 | and no more than 10% biodiesel

15 | the case of servicemen transferring prescription
drugs or | ||||||
16 | servicemen engaged in graphic arts production, of the aggregate
| ||||||
17 | annual total gross receipts from all sales of service, the tax | ||||||
18 | imposed by
this Act shall be based on the serviceman's cost | ||||||
19 | price of the tangible
personal property transferred incident to | ||||||
20 | the sale of those services.
| ||||||
21 | The tax shall be imposed at the rate of 1% on food prepared | ||||||

10 | of the statement in his or her records. Nothing in this item | ||||||
11 | shall be construed to require the removal of the vehicle from | ||||||
12 | this state following the filing of an intent to title the | ||||||
13 | vehicle in the purchaser's state of residence if the purchaser | ||||||
14 | titles the vehicle in his or her state of residence within 30 | ||||||
15 | days after the date of sale. The tax collected under this Act | ||||||
16 | in accordance with this item (25-5) shall be proportionately | ||||||
17 | distributed as if the tax were collected at the 6.25% general | ||||||
18 | rate imposed under this Act.

annual homestead | ||||||
19 | exemption is granted to disabled persons in
the amount of | ||||||
20 | $2,000, except as provided in subsection (c), to
be deducted | ||||||
21 | from the property's value as equalized or assessed
by the | ||||||
22 | Department of Revenue. The disabled person shall receive
the | ||||||
23 | homestead exemption upon meeting the following
requirements: | ||||||
24 | (1) The property must be occupied as the primary |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | residence by the disabled person. | ||||||
2 | (2) The disabled person must be liable for paying the
| ||||||
3 | real estate taxes on the property. | ||||||
4 | (3) The disabled person must be an owner of record of
| ||||||
5 | the property or have a legal or equitable interest in the
| ||||||
6 | property as evidenced by a written instrument. In the case
| ||||||
7 | of a leasehold interest in property, the lease must be for
| ||||||
8 | a single family residence. | ||||||
9 | A person who is disabled during the taxable year
is | ||||||
10 | eligible to apply for this homestead exemption during that
| ||||||
11 | taxable year. Application must be made during the
application | ||||||
12 | period in effect for the county of residence. If a
homestead | ||||||
13 | exemption has been granted under this Section and the
person | ||||||
14 | awarded the exemption subsequently becomes a resident of
a | ||||||
15 | facility licensed under the Nursing Home Care Act, the | ||||||
16 | Specialized Mental Health Rehabilitation Act of 2013 , or the | ||||||
17 | ID/DD Community Care Act, then the
exemption shall continue (i) | ||||||
18 | so long as the residence continues
to be occupied by the | ||||||
19 | qualifying person's spouse or (ii) if the
residence remains | ||||||
20 | unoccupied but is still owned by the person

21 | homestead exemption. | ||||||

| ||||||
23 | means a person unable to engage in any substantial gainful | ||||||
24 | activity by reason of a medically determinable physical or | ||||||
25 | mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or | ||||||
26 | has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of not less than 12 months. Disabled persons filing claims | ||||||
2 | under this Act shall submit proof of disability in such form | ||||||
3 | and manner as the Department shall by rule and regulation | ||||||
4 | prescribe. Proof that a claimant is eligible to receive | ||||||
5 | disability benefits under the Federal Social Security Act shall | ||||||
6 | constitute proof of disability for purposes of this Act. | ||||||
7 | Issuance of an Illinois Person with a Disability Identification | ||||||
8 | Card stating that the claimant is under a Class 2 disability, | ||||||
9 | as defined in Section 4A of the Illinois Identification Card | ||||||
10 | Act, shall constitute proof that the person named thereon is a | ||||||
11 | disabled person for purposes of this Act. A disabled person not | ||||||
12 | covered under the Federal Social Security Act and not | ||||||
13 | presenting an Illinois Person with a Disability Identification | ||||||
14 | Card stating that the claimant is under a Class 2 disability | ||||||
15 | shall be examined by a physician designated by the Department, | ||||||
16 | and his status as a disabled person determined using the same | ||||||
17 | standards as used by the Social Security Administration. The | ||||||
18 | costs of any required examination shall be borne by the | ||||||
19 | claimant. | ||||||
20 | (c) For land improved with (i) an apartment building owned
| ||||||
21 | and operated as a cooperative or (ii) a life care facility as
| ||||||

| ||||||
23 | considered to be a cooperative, the maximum reduction from the
| ||||||
24 | value of the property, as equalized or assessed by the
| ||||||
25 | Department, shall be multiplied by the number of apartments or
| ||||||
26 | units occupied by a disabled person. The disabled person shall
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | receive the homestead exemption upon meeting the following
| ||||||
2 | requirements: | ||||||
3 | (1) The property must be occupied as the primary | ||||||
4 | residence by the
disabled person. | ||||||
5 | (2) The disabled person must be liable by contract with
| ||||||
6 | the owner or owners of record for paying the apportioned
| ||||||
7 | property taxes on the property of the cooperative or life
| ||||||
8 | care facility. In the case of a life care facility, the
| ||||||
9 | disabled person must be liable for paying the apportioned
| ||||||
10 | property taxes under a life care contract as defined in | ||||||
11 | Section 2 of the Life Care Facilities Act. | ||||||
12 | (3) The disabled person must be an owner of record of a
| ||||||
13 | legal or equitable interest in the cooperative apartment
| ||||||
14 | building. A leasehold interest does not meet this
| ||||||
15 | requirement.
| ||||||
16 | If a homestead exemption is granted under this subsection, the
| ||||||
17 | cooperative association or management firm shall credit the
| ||||||
18 | savings resulting from the exemption to the apportioned tax
| ||||||
19 | liability of the qualifying disabled person. The chief county
| ||||||
20 | assessment officer may request reasonable proof that the
| ||||||
21 | association or firm has properly credited the exemption. A
| ||||||
22 | person who willfully refuses to credit an exemption to the
| ||||||
23 | qualified disabled person is guilty of a Class B misdemeanor.
| ||||||
24 | (d) The chief county assessment officer shall determine the
| ||||||
25 | eligibility of property to receive the homestead exemption
| ||||||
26 | according to guidelines established by the Department. After a
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | person has received an exemption under this Section, an annual
| ||||||
2 | verification of eligibility for the exemption shall be mailed
| ||||||
3 | to the taxpayer. | ||||||
4 | In counties with fewer than 3,000,000 inhabitants, the | ||||||
5 | chief county assessment officer shall provide to each
person | ||||||
6 | granted a homestead exemption under this Section a form
to | ||||||
7 | designate any other person to receive a duplicate of any
notice | ||||||
8 | of delinquency in the payment of taxes assessed and
levied | ||||||
9 | under this Code on the person's qualifying property. The
| ||||||
10 | duplicate notice shall be in addition to the notice required to
| ||||||
11 | be provided to the person receiving the exemption and shall be | ||||||
12 | given in the manner required by this Code. The person filing
| ||||||
13 | the request for the duplicate notice shall pay an
| ||||||
14 | administrative fee of $5 to the chief county assessment
| ||||||
15 | officer. The assessment officer shall then file the executed
| ||||||
16 | designation with the county collector, who shall issue the
| ||||||
17 | duplicate notices as indicated by the designation. A
| ||||||
18 | designation may be rescinded by the disabled person in the
| ||||||
19 | manner required by the chief county assessment officer. | ||||||
20 | (e) A taxpayer who claims an exemption under Section 15-165 | ||||||
21 | or 15-169 may not claim an exemption under this Section.

25 | Sec. 15-170. Senior Citizens Homestead Exemption. An |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | annual homestead
exemption limited, except as described here | ||||||
2 | with relation to cooperatives or
life care facilities, to a
| ||||||
3 | maximum reduction set forth below from the property's value, as | ||||||
4 | equalized or
assessed by the Department, is granted for | ||||||
5 | property that is occupied as a
residence by a person 65 years | ||||||
6 | of age or older who is liable for paying real
estate taxes on | ||||||
7 | the property and is an owner of record of the property or has a
| ||||||
8 | legal or equitable interest therein as evidenced by a written | ||||||
9 | instrument,
except for a leasehold interest, other than a | ||||||
10 | leasehold interest of land on
which a single family residence | ||||||
11 | is located, which is occupied as a residence by
a person 65 | ||||||
12 | years or older who has an ownership interest therein, legal,
| ||||||
13 | equitable or as a lessee, and on which he or she is liable for | ||||||
14 | the payment
of property taxes. Before taxable year 2004, the | ||||||
15 | maximum reduction shall be $2,500 in counties with
3,000,000 or | ||||||
16 | more inhabitants and $2,000 in all other counties. For taxable | ||||||
17 | years 2004 through 2005, the maximum reduction shall be $3,000 | ||||||
18 | in all counties. For taxable years 2006 and 2007, the maximum | ||||||
19 | reduction shall be $3,500 and, for taxable years 2008 and | ||||||
20 | thereafter, the maximum reduction is $4,000 in all counties.
| ||||||
21 | For land
improved with an apartment building owned and | ||||||
22 | operated as a cooperative, the maximum reduction from the value | ||||||
23 | of the property, as
equalized
by the Department, shall be | ||||||
24 | multiplied by the number of apartments or units
occupied by a | ||||||
25 | person 65 years of age or older who is liable, by contract with
| ||||||
26 | the owner or owners of record, for paying property taxes on the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | property and
is an owner of record of a legal or equitable | ||||||
2 | interest in the cooperative
apartment building, other than a | ||||||
3 | leasehold interest. For land improved with
a life care | ||||||
4 | facility, the maximum reduction from the value of the property, | ||||||
5 | as
equalized by the Department, shall be multiplied by the | ||||||
6 | number of apartments or
units occupied by persons 65 years of | ||||||
7 | age or older, irrespective of any legal,
equitable, or | ||||||
8 | leasehold interest in the facility, who are liable, under a
| ||||||
9 | contract with the owner or owners of record of the facility, | ||||||
10 | for paying
property taxes on the property. In a
cooperative or | ||||||
11 | a life care facility where a
homestead exemption has been | ||||||
12 | granted, the cooperative association or the
management firm of | ||||||
13 | the cooperative or facility shall credit the savings
resulting | ||||||
14 | from that exemption only to
the apportioned tax liability of | ||||||
15 | the owner or resident who qualified for
the exemption.
Any | ||||||
16 | person who willfully refuses to so credit the savings shall be | ||||||
17 | guilty of a
Class B misdemeanor. Under this Section and | ||||||
18 | Sections 15-175, 15-176, and 15-177, "life care
facility" means | ||||||
19 | a facility, as defined in Section 2 of the Life Care Facilities
| ||||||
20 | Act, with which the applicant for the homestead exemption has a | ||||||
21 | life care
contract as defined in that Act. | ||||||
22 | When a homestead exemption has been granted under this | ||||||
23 | Section and the person
qualifying subsequently becomes a | ||||||
24 | resident of a facility licensed under the Assisted Living and | ||||||
25 | Shared Housing Act, the Nursing Home Care Act, the Specialized | ||||||
26 | Mental Health Rehabilitation Act of 2013 , or the ID/DD |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Community Care Act, the exemption shall continue so long as the | ||||||
2 | residence
continues to be occupied by the qualifying person's | ||||||
3 | spouse if the spouse is 65
years of age or older, or if the | ||||||
4 | residence remains unoccupied but is still
owned by the person | ||||||
5 | qualified for the homestead exemption. | ||||||
6 | A person who will be 65 years of age
during the current | ||||||
7 | assessment year
shall
be eligible to apply for the homestead | ||||||
8 | exemption during that assessment
year.
Application shall be | ||||||
9 | made during the application period in effect for the
county of | ||||||
10 | his residence. | ||||||
11 | Beginning with assessment year 2003, for taxes payable in | ||||||
12 | 2004,
property
that is first occupied as a residence after | ||||||
13 | January 1 of any assessment year by
a person who is eligible | ||||||
14 | for the senior citizens homestead exemption under this
Section | ||||||
15 | must be granted a pro-rata exemption for the assessment year. | ||||||
16 | The
amount of the pro-rata exemption is the exemption
allowed | ||||||
17 | in the county under this Section divided by 365 and multiplied | ||||||
18 | by the
number of days during the assessment year the property | ||||||
19 | is occupied as a
residence by a
person eligible for the | ||||||
20 | exemption under this Section. The chief county
assessment | ||||||
21 | officer must adopt reasonable procedures to establish | ||||||
22 | eligibility
for this pro-rata exemption. | ||||||
23 | The assessor or chief county assessment officer may | ||||||
24 | determine the eligibility
of a life care facility to receive | ||||||
25 | the benefits provided by this Section, by
affidavit, | ||||||
26 | application, visual inspection, questionnaire or other |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | reasonable
methods in order to insure that the tax savings | ||||||
2 | resulting from the exemption
are credited by the management | ||||||
3 | firm to the apportioned tax liability of each
qualifying | ||||||
4 | resident. The assessor may request reasonable proof that the
| ||||||
5 | management firm has so credited the exemption. | ||||||
6 | The chief county assessment officer of each county with | ||||||
7 | less than 3,000,000
inhabitants shall provide to each person | ||||||
8 | allowed a homestead exemption under
this Section a form to | ||||||
9 | designate any other person to receive a
duplicate of any notice | ||||||
10 | of delinquency in the payment of taxes assessed and
levied | ||||||
11 | under this Code on the property of the person receiving the | ||||||
12 | exemption.
The duplicate notice shall be in addition to the | ||||||
13 | notice required to be
provided to the person receiving the | ||||||
14 | exemption, and shall be given in the
manner required by this | ||||||
15 | Code. The person filing the request for the duplicate
notice | ||||||
16 | shall pay a fee of $5 to cover administrative costs to the | ||||||
17 | supervisor of
assessments, who shall then file the executed | ||||||
18 | designation with the county
collector. Notwithstanding any | ||||||
19 | other provision of this Code to the contrary,
the filing of | ||||||
20 | such an executed designation requires the county collector to
| ||||||
21 | provide duplicate notices as indicated by the designation. A | ||||||
22 | designation may
be rescinded by the person who executed such | ||||||
23 | designation at any time, in the
manner and form required by the | ||||||
24 | chief county assessment officer. | ||||||
25 | The assessor or chief county assessment officer may | ||||||
26 | determine the
eligibility of residential property to receive |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the homestead exemption provided
by this Section by | ||||||
2 | application, visual inspection, questionnaire or other
| ||||||
3 | reasonable methods. The determination shall be made in | ||||||
4 | accordance with
guidelines established by the Department. | ||||||
5 | In counties with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, beginning | ||||||
6 | in taxable year 2010, each taxpayer who has been granted an | ||||||
7 | exemption under this Section must reapply on an annual basis. | ||||||
8 | The chief county assessment officer shall mail the application | ||||||
9 | to the taxpayer. In counties with less than 3,000,000 | ||||||
10 | inhabitants, the county board may by
resolution provide that if | ||||||
11 | a person has been granted a homestead exemption
under this | ||||||
12 | Section, the person qualifying need not reapply for the | ||||||
13 | exemption. | ||||||
14 | In counties with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, if the | ||||||
15 | assessor or chief
county assessment officer requires annual | ||||||
16 | application for verification of
eligibility for an exemption | ||||||
17 | once granted under this Section, the application
shall be | ||||||
18 | mailed to the taxpayer. | ||||||
19 | The assessor or chief county assessment officer shall | ||||||
20 | notify each person
who qualifies for an exemption under this | ||||||
21 | Section that the person may also
qualify for deferral of real | ||||||
22 | estate taxes under the Senior Citizens Real Estate
Tax Deferral | ||||||
23 | Act. The notice shall set forth the qualifications needed for
| ||||||
24 | deferral of real estate taxes, the address and telephone number | ||||||
25 | of
county collector, and a
statement that applications for | ||||||
26 | deferral of real estate taxes may be obtained
from the county |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | collector. | ||||||
2 | Notwithstanding Sections 6 and 8 of the State Mandates Act, | ||||||
3 | no
reimbursement by the State is required for the | ||||||
4 | implementation of any mandate
created by this Section. | ||||||

| ||||||
16 | "Base amount" means the base year equalized assessed value | ||||||
17 | of the residence

19 | the residence after the base year.
| ||||||
20 | "Base year" means the taxable year prior to the taxable | ||||||
21 | year for which the

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (i) an owner of record of the

If in any subsequent taxable year for which the | ||||||
6 | applicant applies and
qualifies for the exemption the equalized | ||||||
7 | assessed value of the residence is
less than the equalized | ||||||
8 | assessed value in the existing base year
(provided that such | ||||||
9 | equalized assessed value is not
based
on an
assessed value that | ||||||
10 | results from a temporary irregularity in the property that
| ||||||
11 | reduces the
assessed value for one or more taxable years), then | ||||||
12 | that
subsequent taxable year shall become the base year until a | ||||||

17 | base
year.
The assessment officer shall select as the new base | ||||||
18 | year the year with the
lowest equalized assessed value.
An | ||||||
19 | equalized assessed value that is based on an assessed value | ||||||
20 | that results
from a
temporary irregularity in the property that | ||||||
21 | reduces the assessed value for one
or more
taxable years shall | ||||||
22 | not be considered the lowest equalized assessed value.
The | ||||||
23 | selected year shall be the base year for
taxable year 1999 and | ||||||
24 | thereafter until a new base year is established under the
terms | ||||||
25 | of this paragraph.
| ||||||
26 | "Chief County Assessment Officer" means the County |

14 | does not
include veteran's benefits.
| ||||||
15 | "Internal Revenue Code of 1986" means the United States | ||||||
16 | Internal Revenue Code
of 1986 or any successor law or laws | ||||||

the parcel | ||||||
6 | upon which the dwelling place is situated, as is used for

22 | and (iv) is an owner of record of the property or has a legal or

24 | instrument. This
homestead exemption shall also apply to a | ||||||
25 | leasehold interest in a parcel of
property improved with a | ||||||
26 | permanent structure that is a single family residence
that is |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | occupied as a residence by a person who (i) is 65 years of age | ||||||

5 | lessee, and (iv)
is liable for the payment of real property | ||||||
6 | taxes on that property.
| ||||||
7 | In counties of 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, the amount of | ||||||
8 | the exemption for all taxable years is the equalized assessed | ||||||
9 | value of the
residence in the taxable year for which | ||||||
10 | application is made minus the base
amount. In all other | ||||||
11 | counties, the amount of the exemption is as follows: (i) | ||||||
12 | through taxable year 2005 and for taxable year 2007 and | ||||||
13 | thereafter, the amount of this exemption shall be the equalized | ||||||
14 | assessed value of the
residence in the taxable year for which | ||||||
15 | application is made minus the base
amount; and (ii) for
taxable | ||||||
16 | year 2006, the amount of the exemption is as follows:
| ||||||
17 | (1) For an applicant who has a household income of | ||||||
18 | $45,000 or less, the amount of the exemption is the | ||||||
19 | equalized assessed value of the
residence in the taxable | ||||||
20 | year for which application is made minus the base
amount. | ||||||
21 | (2) For an applicant who has a household income | ||||||
22 | exceeding $45,000 but not exceeding $46,250, the amount of | ||||||
23 | the exemption is (i) the equalized assessed value of the
| ||||||
24 | residence in the taxable year for which application is made | ||||||
25 | minus the base
amount (ii) multiplied by 0.8. | ||||||
26 | (3) For an applicant who has a household income |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | exceeding $46,250 but not exceeding $47,500, the amount of | ||||||
2 | the exemption is (i) the equalized assessed value of the
| ||||||
3 | residence in the taxable year for which application is made | ||||||
4 | minus the base
amount (ii) multiplied by 0.6. | ||||||
5 | (4) For an applicant who has a household income | ||||||
6 | exceeding $47,500 but not exceeding $48,750, the amount of | ||||||
7 | the exemption is (i) the equalized assessed value of the
| ||||||
8 | residence in the taxable year for which application is made | ||||||
9 | minus the base
amount (ii) multiplied by 0.4. | ||||||
10 | (5) For an applicant who has a household income | ||||||
11 | exceeding $48,750 but not exceeding $50,000, the amount of | ||||||
12 | the exemption is (i) the equalized assessed value of the
| ||||||
13 | residence in the taxable year for which application is made | ||||||

| ||||||
15 | When the applicant is a surviving spouse of an applicant | ||||||
16 | for a prior year for
the same residence for which an exemption | ||||||
17 | under this Section has been granted,
the base year and base | ||||||
18 | amount for that residence are the same as for the
applicant for | ||||||
19 | the prior year.
| ||||||
20 | Each year at the time the assessment books are certified to | ||||||
21 | the County Clerk,
the Board of Review or Board of Appeals shall | ||||||
22 | give to the County Clerk a list
of the assessed values of | ||||||
23 | improvements on each parcel qualifying for this
exemption that | ||||||
24 | were added after the base year for this parcel and that
| ||||||
25 | increased the assessed value of the property.
| ||||||
26 | In the case of land improved with an apartment building |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | owned and operated as
a cooperative or a building that is a | ||||||
2 | life care facility that qualifies as a
cooperative, the maximum | ||||||
3 | reduction from the equalized assessed value of the
property is | ||||||
4 | limited to the sum of the reductions calculated for each unit
| ||||||
5 | occupied as a residence by a person or persons (i) 65 years of | ||||||
6 | age or older, (ii) with a
household income that does not exceed | ||||||
7 | the maximum income limitation, (iii) who is liable, by contract | ||||||
8 | with the
owner
or owners of record, for paying real property | ||||||
9 | taxes on the property, and (iv) who is
an owner of record of a | ||||||
10 | legal or equitable interest in the cooperative
apartment | ||||||
11 | building, other than a leasehold interest. In the instance of a
| ||||||
12 | cooperative where a homestead exemption has been granted under | ||||||
13 | this Section,
the cooperative association or its management | ||||||
14 | firm shall credit the savings
resulting from that exemption | ||||||
15 | only to the apportioned tax liability of the
owner who | ||||||
16 | qualified for the exemption. Any person who willfully refuses | ||||||
17 | to
credit that savings to an owner who qualifies for the | ||||||
18 | exemption is guilty of a
Class B misdemeanor.
| ||||||
19 | When a homestead exemption has been granted under this | ||||||
20 | Section and an
applicant then becomes a resident of a facility | ||||||
21 | licensed under the Assisted Living and Shared Housing Act, the | ||||||
22 | Nursing Home
Care Act, the Specialized Mental Health | ||||||
23 | Rehabilitation Act of 2013 , or the ID/DD Community Care Act, | ||||||
24 | the exemption shall be granted in subsequent years so long as | ||||||
25 | the
residence (i) continues to be occupied by the qualified | ||||||
26 | applicant's spouse or
(ii) if remaining unoccupied, is still |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | owned by the qualified applicant for the
homestead exemption.
| ||||||
2 | Beginning January 1, 1997, when an individual dies who | ||||||
3 | would have qualified
for an exemption under this Section, and | ||||||
4 | the surviving spouse does not
independently qualify for this | ||||||
5 | exemption because of age, the exemption under
this Section | ||||||
6 | shall be granted to the surviving spouse for the taxable year
| ||||||
7 | preceding and the taxable
year of the death, provided that, | ||||||
8 | except for age, the surviving spouse meets
all
other | ||||||
9 | qualifications for the granting of this exemption for those | ||||||
10 | years.
| ||||||
11 | When married persons maintain separate residences, the | ||||||
12 | exemption provided for
in this Section may be claimed by only | ||||||
13 | one of such persons and for only one
residence.
| ||||||
14 | For taxable year 1994 only, in counties having less than | ||||||
15 | 3,000,000
inhabitants, to receive the exemption, a person shall | ||||||
16 | submit an application by
February 15, 1995 to the Chief County | ||||||
17 | Assessment Officer
of the county in which the property is | ||||||
18 | located. In counties having 3,000,000
or more inhabitants, for | ||||||
19 | taxable year 1994 and all subsequent taxable years, to
receive | ||||||
20 | the exemption, a person
may submit an application to the Chief | ||||||
21 | County
Assessment Officer of the county in which the property | ||||||
22 | is located during such
period as may be specified by the Chief | ||||||
23 | County Assessment Officer. The Chief
County Assessment Officer | ||||||
24 | in counties of 3,000,000 or more inhabitants shall
annually | ||||||
25 | give notice of the application period by mail or by | ||||||
26 | publication. In
counties having less than 3,000,000 |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | inhabitants, beginning with taxable year
1995 and thereafter, | ||||||
2 | to receive the exemption, a person
shall
submit an
application | ||||||
3 | by July 1 of each taxable year to the Chief County Assessment
| ||||||
4 | Officer of the county in which the property is located. A | ||||||
5 | county may, by
ordinance, establish a date for submission of | ||||||
6 | applications that is
different than
July 1.
The applicant shall | ||||||
7 | submit with the
application an affidavit of the applicant's | ||||||
8 | total household income, age,
marital status (and if married the | ||||||
9 | name and address of the applicant's spouse,
if known), and | ||||||
10 | principal dwelling place of members of the household on January
| ||||||
11 | 1 of the taxable year. The Department shall establish, by rule, | ||||||
12 | a method for
verifying the accuracy of affidavits filed by | ||||||
13 | applicants under this Section, and the Chief County Assessment | ||||||
14 | Officer may conduct audits of any taxpayer claiming an | ||||||
15 | exemption under this Section to verify that the taxpayer is | ||||||
16 | eligible to receive the exemption. Each application shall | ||||||
17 | contain or be verified by a written declaration that it is made | ||||||
18 | under the penalties of perjury. A taxpayer's signing a | ||||||
19 | fraudulent application under this Act is perjury, as defined in | ||||||
20 | Section 32-2 of the Criminal Code of 2012.
The applications | ||||||
21 | shall be clearly marked as applications for the Senior
Citizens | ||||||
22 | Assessment Freeze Homestead Exemption and must contain a notice | ||||||
23 | that any taxpayer who receives the exemption is subject to an | ||||||
24 | audit by the Chief County Assessment Officer.
| ||||||
25 | Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, in | ||||||
26 | counties having fewer
than 3,000,000 inhabitants, if an |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | applicant fails
to file the application required by this | ||||||
2 | Section in a timely manner and this
failure to file is due to a | ||||||
3 | mental or physical condition sufficiently severe so
as to | ||||||
4 | render the applicant incapable of filing the application in a | ||||||
5 | timely
manner, the Chief County Assessment Officer may extend | ||||||
6 | the filing deadline for
a period of 30 days after the applicant | ||||||
7 | regains the capability to file the
application, but in no case | ||||||
8 | may the filing deadline be extended beyond 3
months of the | ||||||
9 | original filing deadline. In order to receive the extension
| ||||||
10 | provided in this paragraph, the applicant shall provide the | ||||||
11 | Chief County
Assessment Officer with a signed statement from | ||||||
12 | the applicant's physician
stating the nature and extent of the | ||||||
13 | condition, that, in the
physician's opinion, the condition was | ||||||
14 | so severe that it rendered the applicant
incapable of filing | ||||||
15 | the application in a timely manner, and the date on which
the | ||||||
16 | applicant regained the capability to file the application.
| ||||||
17 | Beginning January 1, 1998, notwithstanding any other | ||||||
18 | provision to the
contrary, in counties having fewer than | ||||||
19 | 3,000,000 inhabitants, if an applicant
fails to file the | ||||||
20 | application required by this Section in a timely manner and
| ||||||
21 | this failure to file is due to a mental or physical condition | ||||||
22 | sufficiently
severe so as to render the applicant incapable of | ||||||
23 | filing the application in a
timely manner, the Chief County | ||||||
24 | Assessment Officer may extend the filing
deadline for a period | ||||||
25 | of 3 months. In order to receive the extension provided
in this | ||||||
26 | paragraph, the applicant shall provide the Chief County |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Assessment
Officer with a signed statement from the applicant's | ||||||
2 | physician stating the
nature and extent of the condition, and | ||||||
3 | that, in the physician's opinion, the
condition was so severe | ||||||
4 | that it rendered the applicant incapable of filing the
| ||||||
5 | application in a timely manner.
| ||||||
6 | In counties having less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, if an | ||||||
7 | applicant was
denied an exemption in taxable year 1994 and the | ||||||
8 | denial occurred due to an
error on the part of an assessment
| ||||||
9 | official, or his or her agent or employee, then beginning in | ||||||
10 | taxable year 1997
the
applicant's base year, for purposes of | ||||||
11 | determining the amount of the exemption,
shall be 1993 rather | ||||||
12 | than 1994. In addition, in taxable year 1997, the
applicant's | ||||||
13 | exemption shall also include an amount equal to (i) the amount | ||||||
14 | of
any exemption denied to the applicant in taxable year 1995 | ||||||
15 | as a result of using
1994, rather than 1993, as the base year, | ||||||
16 | (ii) the amount of any exemption
denied to the applicant in | ||||||
17 | taxable year 1996 as a result of using 1994, rather
than 1993, | ||||||
18 | as the base year, and (iii) the amount of the exemption | ||||||
19 | erroneously
denied for taxable year 1994.
| ||||||
20 | For purposes of this Section, a person who will be 65 years | ||||||
21 | of age during the
current taxable year shall be eligible to | ||||||
22 | apply for the homestead exemption
during that taxable year. | ||||||
23 | Application shall be made during the application
period in | ||||||
24 | effect for the county of his or her residence.
| ||||||
25 | The Chief County Assessment Officer may determine the | ||||||
26 | eligibility of a life
care facility that qualifies as a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | cooperative to receive the benefits
provided by this Section by | ||||||
2 | use of an affidavit, application, visual
inspection, | ||||||
3 | questionnaire, or other reasonable method in order to insure | ||||||
4 | that
the tax savings resulting from the exemption are credited | ||||||
5 | by the management
firm to the apportioned tax liability of each | ||||||
6 | qualifying resident. The Chief
County Assessment Officer may | ||||||
7 | request reasonable proof that the management firm
has so | ||||||
8 | credited that exemption.
| ||||||
9 | Except as provided in this Section, all information | ||||||
10 | received by the chief
county assessment officer or the | ||||||
11 | Department from applications filed under this
Section, or from | ||||||
12 | any investigation conducted under the provisions of this
| ||||||
13 | Section, shall be confidential, except for official purposes or
| ||||||
14 | pursuant to official procedures for collection of any State or | ||||||
15 | local tax or
enforcement of any civil or criminal penalty or | ||||||
16 | sanction imposed by this Act or
by any statute or ordinance | ||||||
17 | imposing a State or local tax. Any person who
divulges any such | ||||||
18 | information in any manner, except in accordance with a proper
| ||||||
19 | judicial order, is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
| ||||||
20 | Nothing contained in this Section shall prevent the | ||||||
21 | Director or chief county
assessment officer from publishing or | ||||||
22 | making available reasonable statistics
concerning the | ||||||
23 | operation of the exemption contained in this Section in which
| ||||||
24 | the contents of claims are grouped into aggregates in such a | ||||||
25 | way that
information contained in any individual claim shall | ||||||
26 | not be disclosed.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (d) Each Chief County Assessment Officer shall annually | ||||||
2 | publish a notice
of availability of the exemption provided | ||||||
3 | under this Section. The notice
shall be published at least 60 | ||||||
4 | days but no more than 75 days prior to the date
on which the | ||||||
5 | application must be submitted to the Chief County Assessment
| ||||||
6 | Officer of the county in which the property is located. The | ||||||
7 | notice shall
appear in a newspaper of general circulation in | ||||||
8 | the county.
| ||||||
9 | Notwithstanding Sections 6 and 8 of the State Mandates Act, | ||||||
10 | no reimbursement by the State is required for the | ||||||
11 | implementation of any mandate created by this Section.
| ||||||

| ||||||
16 | Section 6-165. The Regional Transportation Authority Act | ||||||
17 | is amended by changing Section 4.03 as follows:
| ||||||
18 | (70 ILCS 3615/4.03) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 704.03)
| ||||||
19 | Sec. 4.03. Taxes.
| ||||||
20 | (a) In order to carry out any of the powers or
purposes of | ||||||
21 | the Authority, the Board may by ordinance adopted with the
| ||||||
22 | concurrence of 12
of the then Directors, impose throughout the
| ||||||
23 | metropolitan region any or all of the taxes provided in this | ||||||
24 | Section.
Except as otherwise provided in this Act, taxes |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | imposed under this
Section and civil penalties imposed incident | ||||||
2 | thereto shall be collected
and enforced by the State Department | ||||||
3 | of Revenue. The Department shall
have the power to administer | ||||||
4 | and enforce the taxes and to determine all
rights for refunds | ||||||
5 | for erroneous payments of the taxes. Nothing in this amendatory | ||||||
6 | Act of the 95th General Assembly is intended to invalidate any | ||||||
7 | taxes currently imposed by the Authority. The increased vote | ||||||
8 | requirements to impose a tax shall only apply to actions taken | ||||||
9 | after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 95th | ||||||
10 | General Assembly.
| ||||||
11 | (b) The Board may impose a public transportation tax upon | ||||||
12 | all
persons engaged in the metropolitan region in the business | ||||||
13 | of selling at
retail motor fuel for operation of motor vehicles | ||||||
14 | upon public highways. The
tax shall be at a rate not to exceed | ||||||
15 | 5% of the gross receipts from the sales
of motor fuel in the | ||||||
16 | course of the business. As used in this Act, the term
"motor | ||||||
17 | fuel" shall have the same meaning as in the Motor Fuel Tax Law. | ||||||
18 | The Board may provide for details of the tax. The provisions of
| ||||||
19 | any tax shall conform, as closely as may be practicable, to the | ||||||
20 | provisions
of the Municipal Retailers Occupation Tax Act, | ||||||
21 | including without limitation,
conformity to penalties with | ||||||
22 | respect to the tax imposed and as to the powers of
the State | ||||||
23 | Department of Revenue to promulgate and enforce rules and | ||||||
24 | regulations
relating to the administration and enforcement of | ||||||
25 | the provisions of the tax
imposed, except that reference in the | ||||||
26 | Act to any municipality shall refer to
the Authority and the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | tax shall be imposed only with regard to receipts from
sales of | ||||||
2 | motor fuel in the metropolitan region, at rates as limited by | ||||||
3 | this
Section.
| ||||||
4 | (c) In connection with the tax imposed under paragraph (b) | ||||||
5 | of
this Section the Board may impose a tax upon the privilege | ||||||
6 | of using in
the metropolitan region motor fuel for the | ||||||
7 | operation of a motor vehicle
upon public highways, the tax to | ||||||
8 | be at a rate not in excess of the rate
of tax imposed under | ||||||
9 | paragraph (b) of this Section. The Board may
provide for | ||||||
10 | details of the tax.
| ||||||
11 | (d) The Board may impose a motor vehicle parking tax upon | ||||||
12 | the
privilege of parking motor vehicles at off-street parking | ||||||
13 | facilities in
the metropolitan region at which a fee is | ||||||
14 | charged, and may provide for
reasonable classifications in and | ||||||
15 | exemptions to the tax, for
administration and enforcement | ||||||
16 | thereof and for civil penalties and
refunds thereunder and may | ||||||
17 | provide criminal penalties thereunder, the
maximum penalties | ||||||
18 | not to exceed the maximum criminal penalties provided
in the | ||||||
19 | Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. The
Authority may collect and | ||||||
20 | enforce the tax itself or by contract with
any unit of local | ||||||
21 | government. The State Department of Revenue shall have
no | ||||||
22 | responsibility for the collection and enforcement unless the
| ||||||
23 | Department agrees with the Authority to undertake the | ||||||
24 | collection and
enforcement. As used in this paragraph, the term | ||||||
25 | "parking facility"
means a parking area or structure having | ||||||
26 | parking spaces for more than 2
vehicles at which motor vehicles |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | are permitted to park in return for an
hourly, daily, or other | ||||||
2 | periodic fee, whether publicly or privately
owned, but does not | ||||||
3 | include parking spaces on a public street, the use
of which is | ||||||
4 | regulated by parking meters.
| ||||||
5 | (e) The Board may impose a Regional Transportation | ||||||
6 | Authority
Retailers' Occupation Tax upon all persons engaged in | ||||||
7 | the business of
selling tangible personal property at retail in | ||||||
8 | the metropolitan region.
In Cook County the tax rate shall be | ||||||
9 | 1.25%
of the gross receipts from sales
of food for human | ||||||
10 | consumption that is to be consumed off the premises
where it is | ||||||
11 | sold (other than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and food
that | ||||||
12 | has been prepared for immediate consumption) and prescription | ||||||
13 | and
nonprescription medicines, drugs, medical appliances and | ||||||
14 | insulin, urine
testing materials, syringes and needles used by | ||||||
15 | diabetics, and 1%
of the
gross receipts from other taxable | ||||||
16 | sales made in the course of that business.
In DuPage, Kane, | ||||||
17 | Lake, McHenry, and Will Counties, the tax rate shall be 0.75%
| ||||||
18 | of the gross receipts from all taxable sales made in the course | ||||||
19 | of that
business. The tax
imposed under this Section and all | ||||||
20 | civil penalties that may be
assessed as an incident thereof | ||||||
21 | shall be collected and enforced by the
State Department of | ||||||
22 | Revenue. The Department shall have full power to
administer and | ||||||
23 | enforce this Section; to collect all taxes and penalties
so | ||||||
24 | collected in the manner hereinafter provided; and to determine | ||||||
25 | all
rights to credit memoranda arising on account of the | ||||||
26 | erroneous payment
of tax or penalty hereunder. In the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | administration of, and compliance
with this Section, the | ||||||
2 | Department and persons who are subject to this
Section shall | ||||||
3 | have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities,
powers | ||||||
4 | and duties, and be subject to the same conditions, | ||||||
5 | restrictions,
limitations, penalties, exclusions, exemptions | ||||||
6 | and definitions of terms,
and employ the same modes of | ||||||
7 | procedure, as are prescribed in Sections 1,
1a, 1a-1, 1c, 1d, | ||||||
8 | 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j, 2 through 2-65 (in respect to all
provisions | ||||||
9 | therein other than the State rate of tax), 2c, 3 (except as to
| ||||||
10 | the disposition of taxes and penalties collected), 4, 5, 5a, | ||||||
11 | 5b, 5c, 5d,
5e, 5f, 5g, 5h, 5i, 5j, 5k, 5l, 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 7, 8, | ||||||
12 | 9, 10, 11, 12 and
13 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and | ||||||
13 | Section 3-7 of the
Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, as fully | ||||||
14 | as if those
provisions were set forth herein.
| ||||||
15 | Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority | ||||||
16 | granted
in this Section may reimburse themselves for their | ||||||
17 | seller's tax
liability hereunder by separately stating the tax | ||||||
18 | as an additional
charge, which charge may be stated in | ||||||
19 | combination in a single amount
with State taxes that sellers | ||||||
20 | are required to collect under the Use
Tax Act, under any | ||||||
21 | bracket schedules the
Department may prescribe.
| ||||||
22 | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be | ||||||
23 | made under
this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a | ||||||
24 | credit memorandum, the
Department shall notify the State | ||||||
25 | Comptroller, who shall cause the
warrant to be drawn for the | ||||||
26 | amount specified, and to the person named,
in the notification |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | from the Department. The refund shall be paid by
the State | ||||||
2 | Treasurer out of the Regional Transportation Authority tax
fund | ||||||
3 | established under paragraph (n) of this Section.
| ||||||
4 | If a tax is imposed under this subsection (e), a tax shall | ||||||
5 | also
be imposed under subsections (f) and (g) of this Section.
| ||||||
6 | For the purpose of determining whether a tax authorized | ||||||
7 | under this
Section is applicable, a retail sale by a producer | ||||||
8 | of coal or other
mineral mined in Illinois, is a sale at retail | ||||||
9 | at the place where the
coal or other mineral mined in Illinois | ||||||
10 | is extracted from the earth.
This paragraph does not apply to | ||||||
11 | coal or other mineral when it is
delivered or shipped by the | ||||||
12 | seller to the purchaser at a point outside
Illinois so that the | ||||||
13 | sale is exempt under the Federal Constitution as a
sale in | ||||||
14 | interstate or foreign commerce.
| ||||||
15 | No tax shall be imposed or collected under this subsection | ||||||
16 | on the sale of a motor vehicle in this State to a resident of | ||||||
17 | another state if that motor vehicle will not be titled in this | ||||||
18 | State.
| ||||||
19 | Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize the | ||||||
20 | Regional
Transportation Authority to impose a tax upon the | ||||||
21 | privilege of engaging
in any business that under the | ||||||
22 | Constitution of the United States may
not be made the subject | ||||||
23 | of taxation by this State.
| ||||||
24 | (f) If a tax has been imposed under paragraph (e), a
| ||||||
25 | Regional Transportation Authority Service Occupation
Tax shall
| ||||||
26 | also be imposed upon all persons engaged, in the metropolitan |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | region in
the business of making sales of service, who as an | ||||||
2 | incident to making the sales
of service, transfer tangible | ||||||
3 | personal property within the metropolitan region,
either in the | ||||||
4 | form of tangible personal property or in the form of real | ||||||
5 | estate
as an incident to a sale of service. In Cook County, the | ||||||
6 | tax rate
shall be: (1) 1.25%
of the serviceman's cost price of | ||||||
7 | food prepared for
immediate consumption and transferred | ||||||
8 | incident to a sale of service subject
to the service occupation | ||||||
9 | tax by an entity licensed under the Hospital
Licensing Act, the | ||||||
10 | Nursing Home Care Act, the Specialized Mental Health | ||||||
11 | Rehabilitation Act of 2013 , or the ID/DD Community Care Act | ||||||
12 | that is located in the metropolitan
region; (2) 1.25%
of the | ||||||
13 | selling price of food for human consumption that is to
be | ||||||
14 | consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than | ||||||
15 | alcoholic
beverages, soft drinks and food that has been | ||||||
16 | prepared for immediate
consumption) and prescription and | ||||||
17 | nonprescription medicines, drugs, medical
appliances and | ||||||
18 | insulin, urine testing materials, syringes and needles used
by | ||||||
19 | diabetics; and (3) 1%
of the selling price from other taxable | ||||||
20 | sales of
tangible personal property transferred. In DuPage, | ||||||
21 | Kane, Lake,
McHenry and Will Counties the rate shall be 0.75%
| ||||||
22 | of the selling price
of all tangible personal property | ||||||
23 | transferred.
| ||||||
24 | The tax imposed under this paragraph and all civil
| ||||||
25 | penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be | ||||||
26 | collected
and enforced by the State Department of Revenue. The |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Department shall
have full power to administer and enforce this | ||||||
2 | paragraph; to collect all
taxes and penalties due hereunder; to | ||||||
3 | dispose of taxes and penalties
collected in the manner | ||||||
4 | hereinafter provided; and to determine all
rights to credit | ||||||
5 | memoranda arising on account of the erroneous payment
of tax or | ||||||
6 | penalty hereunder. In the administration of and compliance
with | ||||||
7 | this paragraph, the Department and persons who are subject to | ||||||
8 | this
paragraph shall have the same rights, remedies, | ||||||
9 | privileges, immunities,
powers and duties, and be subject to | ||||||
10 | the same conditions, restrictions,
limitations, penalties, | ||||||
11 | exclusions, exemptions and definitions of terms,
and employ the | ||||||
12 | same modes of procedure, as are prescribed in Sections 1a-1, 2,
| ||||||
13 | 2a, 3 through 3-50 (in respect to all provisions therein other | ||||||
14 | than the
State rate of tax), 4 (except that the reference to | ||||||
15 | the State shall be to
the Authority), 5, 7, 8 (except that the | ||||||
16 | jurisdiction to which the tax
shall be a debt to the extent | ||||||
17 | indicated in that Section 8 shall be the
Authority), 9 (except | ||||||
18 | as to the disposition of taxes and penalties
collected, and | ||||||
19 | except that the returned merchandise credit for this tax may
| ||||||
20 | not be taken against any State tax), 10, 11, 12 (except the | ||||||
21 | reference
therein to Section 2b of the Retailers' Occupation | ||||||
22 | Tax Act), 13 (except
that any reference to the State shall mean | ||||||
23 | the Authority), the first
paragraph of Section 15, 16, 17, 18, | ||||||
24 | 19 and 20 of the Service
Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of | ||||||
25 | the Uniform Penalty and Interest
Act, as fully as if those | ||||||
26 | provisions were set forth herein.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority | ||||||
2 | granted
in this paragraph may reimburse themselves for their | ||||||
3 | serviceman's tax
liability hereunder by separately stating the | ||||||
4 | tax as an additional
charge, that charge may be stated in | ||||||
5 | combination in a single amount
with State tax that servicemen | ||||||
6 | are authorized to collect under the
Service Use Tax Act, under | ||||||
7 | any bracket schedules the
Department may prescribe.
| ||||||
8 | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be | ||||||
9 | made under
this paragraph to a claimant instead of issuing a | ||||||
10 | credit memorandum, the
Department shall notify the State | ||||||
11 | Comptroller, who shall cause the
warrant to be drawn for the | ||||||
12 | amount specified, and to the person named
in the notification | ||||||
13 | from the Department. The refund shall be paid by
the State | ||||||
14 | Treasurer out of the Regional Transportation Authority tax
fund | ||||||
15 | established under paragraph (n) of this Section.
| ||||||
16 | Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to authorize | ||||||
17 | the
Authority to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in | ||||||
18 | any business
that under the Constitution of the United States | ||||||
19 | may not be made the
subject of taxation by the State.
| ||||||
20 | (g) If a tax has been imposed under paragraph (e), a tax | ||||||
21 | shall
also be imposed upon the privilege of using in the | ||||||
22 | metropolitan region,
any item of tangible personal property | ||||||
23 | that is purchased outside the
metropolitan region at retail | ||||||
24 | from a retailer, and that is titled or
registered with an | ||||||
25 | agency of this State's government. In Cook County the
tax rate | ||||||
26 | shall be 1%
of the selling price of the tangible personal |
| |||||||
| |||||||

hereinafter provided; and to | ||||||
23 | determine all rights to credit memoranda or
refunds arising on | ||||||
24 | account of the erroneous payment of tax, penalty or
interest | ||||||
25 | hereunder. In the administration of and compliance with this
| ||||||
26 | paragraph, the Department and persons who are subject to this |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | paragraph
shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges, | ||||||
2 | immunities, powers and
duties, and be subject to the same | ||||||
3 | conditions, restrictions,
limitations, penalties, exclusions, | ||||||
4 | exemptions and definitions of terms
and employ the same modes | ||||||
5 | of procedure, as are prescribed in Sections 2
(except the | ||||||

paragraph, | ||||||
13 | as fully as if those provisions were set forth herein.
| ||||||
14 | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be | ||||||
15 | made under
this paragraph to a claimant instead of issuing a | ||||||
16 | credit memorandum, the
Department shall notify the State | ||||||
17 | Comptroller, who shall cause the order
to be drawn for the | ||||||
18 | amount specified, and to the person named in the
notification | ||||||
19 | from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State

controlling owner of
the applicant | ||||||
20 | and such individual applicant, controlling owner of the | ||||||

1 | with the standards and rules
adopted by the

from the applicant | ||||||
11 | whether the applicant's submission is complete or
incomplete. | ||||||
12 | Failure to provide the applicant with this notice within 10
| ||||||
13 | working days shall result in the submission being deemed | ||||||

is incomplete, the | ||||||
16 | Department shall inform the applicant of the deficiencies

submitted to | ||||||
20 | the Department no later than 60 days following receipt by the

21 | Department. The drawings and specifications shall be of | ||||||
22 | sufficient detail, as
provided by Department rule, to
enable | ||||||
23 | the Department to
render a determination of compliance with | ||||||
24 | design and construction standards
under this Act.
If the | ||||||
25 | Department finds that the drawings are not of sufficient detail | ||||||

incomplete and shall not be considered for | ||||||
2 | purposes of initiating the 60 day
review period.
If a | ||||||
3 | submission of drawings and specifications is incomplete, the | ||||||
4 | applicant
may submit additional information. The 60-day review | ||||||

If the Department has not | ||||||
8 | approved or disapproved the
drawings and specifications within | ||||||
9 | 60 days, the construction, major alteration,
or addition shall | ||||||
10 | be deemed approved. If the drawings and specifications are
| ||||||
11 | disapproved, the Department shall state in writing, with | ||||||
12 | specificity, the
reasons for the disapproval. The entity | ||||||
13 | submitting the drawings and
specifications may submit | ||||||
14 | additional information in response to the written
comments from | ||||||
15 | the Department or request a reconsideration of the disapproval.
| ||||||
16 | A final decision of approval or disapproval shall be made | ||||||

receipt of the additional information or | ||||||
18 | reconsideration request. If denied,
the Department shall state | ||||||

15 | licensee's failure to comply with this Act or the rules | ||||||

18 | (19) Failure to report to the Department any adverse | ||||||

5 | judgment, settlement, or award arising from a liability | ||||||

9 | All proceedings to suspend, revoke, place on
probationary | ||||||
10 | status, or take any other disciplinary action
as the Department | ||||||
11 | may deem proper, with regard to a license
on any of the | ||||||
12 | foregoing grounds, must be commenced within
5
years next after | ||||||
13 | receipt by the Department of (i) a
complaint
alleging the | ||||||
14 | commission of or notice of the conviction order
for any of the | ||||||
15 | acts described herein or (ii) a referral for investigation
| ||||||
16 | under
Section 3-108 of the Nursing Home Care Act. | ||||||
17 | The entry of an order or judgment by any circuit court | ||||||
18 | establishing that
any person holding a license under this Act | ||||||
19 | is a person in need of mental
treatment operates as a | ||||||
20 | suspension of that license. That person may resume
their | ||||||
21 | practice only upon the entry of a Department order based upon a
| ||||||
22 | finding by the Board that they have been determined to
be | ||||||
23 | recovered from mental illness by the court and upon the
Board's | ||||||
24 | recommendation that they be permitted to resume their practice. | ||||||
25 | The Department, upon the recommendation of the
Board, may
| ||||||
26 | adopt rules which set forth
standards to be used in determining |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | what constitutes: | ||||||
2 | (i)
when a person will be deemed sufficiently
| ||||||
3 | rehabilitated to warrant the public trust; | ||||||
4 | (ii)
dishonorable, unethical or
unprofessional conduct | ||||||
5 | of a character likely to deceive,
defraud, or harm the | ||||||
6 | public; | ||||||
7 | (iii)
immoral conduct in the commission
of any act | ||||||
8 | related to the licensee's practice; and | ||||||
9 | (iv)
professional incompetence in the practice
of | ||||||
10 | nursing home administration. | ||||||
11 | However, no such rule shall be admissible into evidence
in | ||||||
12 | any civil action except for review of a licensing or
other | ||||||
13 | disciplinary action under this Act. | ||||||
14 | In enforcing this Section, the Department or Board, upon a | ||||||
15 | showing of a
possible
violation,
may compel any individual | ||||||
16 | licensed to practice under this
Act, or who has applied for | ||||||
17 | licensure
pursuant to this Act, to submit to a mental or | ||||||
18 | physical
examination, or both, as required by and at the | ||||||
19 | expense of
the Department. The examining physician or | ||||||
20 | physicians shall
be those specifically designated by the | ||||||
21 | Department or Board.
The Department or Board may order the | ||||||
22 | examining physician to present
testimony
concerning this | ||||||
23 | mental or physical examination of the licensee or applicant. No
| ||||||
24 | information shall be excluded by reason of any common law or | ||||||
25 | statutory
privilege relating to communications between the | ||||||
26 | licensee or applicant and the
examining physician.
The |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | individual to be examined may have, at his or her own
expense, | ||||||
2 | another physician of his or her choice present
during all | ||||||
3 | aspects of the examination. Failure of any
individual to submit | ||||||
4 | to mental or physical examination, when
directed, shall be | ||||||
5 | grounds for suspension of his or her
license until such time as | ||||||
6 | the individual submits to the
examination if the Department | ||||||
7 | finds, after notice
and hearing, that the refusal to submit to | ||||||
8 | the examination
was without reasonable cause. | ||||||
9 | If the Department or Board
finds an individual unable to | ||||||
10 | practice
because of the reasons
set forth in this Section, the | ||||||
11 | Department or Board shall
require such individual to submit to | ||||||
12 | care, counseling, or
treatment by physicians approved or | ||||||
13 | designated by the
Department or Board, as a condition, term, or | ||||||
14 | restriction for
continued,
reinstated, or renewed licensure to | ||||||
15 | practice; or in lieu of care, counseling,
or
treatment, the | ||||||
16 | Department may file, or the Board may recommend to the
| ||||||
17 | Department to
file, a complaint to
immediately suspend, revoke, | ||||||
18 | or otherwise discipline the license of the
individual.
Any | ||||||
19 | individual whose license was granted pursuant to
this Act or | ||||||
20 | continued, reinstated, renewed,
disciplined or supervised, | ||||||
21 | subject to such terms, conditions
or restrictions who shall | ||||||
22 | fail to comply with such terms,
conditions or restrictions
| ||||||
23 | shall be referred to the Secretary
for a
determination as to | ||||||
24 | whether the licensee shall have his or her
license suspended | ||||||
25 | immediately, pending a hearing by the
Department. In instances | ||||||
26 | in which the Secretary
immediately suspends a license under |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | this Section, a hearing
upon such person's license must be | ||||||
2 | convened by the
Board within 30
days after such suspension and
| ||||||
3 | completed without appreciable delay. The Department and Board
| ||||||
4 | shall have the authority to review the subject administrator's
| ||||||
5 | record of treatment and counseling regarding the impairment,
to | ||||||
6 | the extent permitted by applicable federal statutes and
| ||||||
7 | regulations safeguarding the confidentiality of medical | ||||||
8 | records. | ||||||
9 | An individual licensed under this Act, affected under
this | ||||||
10 | Section, shall be afforded an opportunity to
demonstrate to the | ||||||
11 | Department or Board that he or she can
resume
practice in | ||||||
12 | compliance with acceptable and prevailing
standards under the | ||||||
13 | provisions of his or her license. | ||||||
14 | (b) Any individual or
organization acting in good faith, | ||||||
15 | and not in a wilful and
wanton manner, in complying with this | ||||||
16 | Act by providing any
report or other information to the | ||||||
17 | Department, or
assisting in the investigation or preparation of | ||||||
18 | such
information, or by participating in proceedings of the
| ||||||
19 | Department, or by serving as a member of the
Board, shall not, | ||||||
20 | as a result of such actions,
be subject to criminal prosecution | ||||||
21 | or civil damages. | ||||||
22 | (c) Members of the Board, and persons
retained under | ||||||
23 | contract to assist and advise in an investigation,
shall be | ||||||
24 | indemnified by the State for any actions
occurring within the | ||||||
25 | scope of services on or for the Board, done in good
faith
and | ||||||
26 | not wilful and wanton in
nature. The Attorney General shall |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | defend all such actions
unless he or she determines either that | ||||||
2 | there would be a
conflict of interest in such representation or | ||||||
3 | that the
actions complained of were not in good faith or were | ||||||
4 | wilful and wanton. | ||||||
5 | Should the Attorney General decline representation,
a | ||||||
6 | person entitled to indemnification under this Section shall | ||||||
7 | have the
right to employ counsel of his or her
choice, whose | ||||||
8 | fees shall be provided by the State, after
approval by the | ||||||
9 | Attorney General, unless there is a
determination by a court | ||||||
10 | that the member's actions were not
in good faith or were wilful | ||||||
11 | and wanton. | ||||||
12 | A person entitled to indemnification under this
Section | ||||||
13 | must notify the Attorney General within 7
days of receipt of | ||||||
14 | notice of the initiation of any action
involving services of | ||||||
15 | the Board. Failure to so
notify the Attorney General shall | ||||||
16 | constitute an absolute
waiver of the right to a defense and | ||||||
17 | indemnification. | ||||||
18 | The Attorney General shall determine within 7 days
after | ||||||
19 | receiving such notice, whether he or she will undertake to | ||||||
20 | represent
a
person entitled to indemnification under this | ||||||
21 | Section. | ||||||
22 | (d) The determination by a circuit court that a licensee is | ||||||
23 | subject to
involuntary admission or judicial admission as | ||||||
24 | provided in the Mental
Health and Developmental Disabilities | ||||||
25 | Code, as amended, operates as an
automatic suspension. Such | ||||||
26 | suspension will end only upon a finding by a
court that the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | patient is no longer subject to involuntary admission or
| ||||||
2 | judicial admission and issues an order so finding and | ||||||
3 | discharging the
patient; and upon the recommendation of the | ||||||
4 | Board to the Secretary
that
the licensee be allowed to resume | ||||||
5 | his or her practice. | ||||||
6 | (e) The Department may refuse to issue or may suspend the | ||||||
7 | license of
any person who fails to file a return, or to pay the | ||||||
8 | tax, penalty or
interest shown in a filed return, or to pay any | ||||||
9 | final assessment of tax,
penalty or interest, as required by | ||||||
10 | any tax Act administered by the Department of Revenue, until | ||||||
11 | such time as the requirements of any
such tax Act are | ||||||
12 | satisfied. | ||||||
13 | (f) The Department of Public Health shall transmit to the
| ||||||
14 | Department a list of those facilities which receive an "A" | ||||||
15 | violation as
defined in Section 1-129 of the Nursing Home Care | ||||||
16 | Act. | ||||||

personal | ||||||
5 | examination of the recipient by a physician or a nurse under | ||||||
6 | the
supervision of a physician and the circumstances | ||||||
7 | demonstrating that need are
set forth in writing in the | ||||||

| ||||||
22 | authorized and monitored by a physician or a nurse under the | ||||||
23 | supervision
of a physician
in accordance with accepted medical | ||||||
24 | practice. The facility director of each
mental health facility | ||||||
25 | not operated by the State shall issue rules designed to
insure | ||||||
26 | that in that facility psychotropic medication and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | electroconvulsive therapy are administered
in
accordance with | ||||||
2 | this Section and only when appropriately authorized and
| ||||||
3 | monitored by a physician or a nurse under the supervision of a
| ||||||
4 | physician in accordance with accepted medical practice. Such | ||||||
5 | rules shall be
available for public inspection and copying | ||||||

16 | at least once that day, the physician shall determine and state | ||||||
17 | in writing the reasons why the recipient did not meet the | ||||||
18 | criteria for administration of medication or electroconvulsive | ||||||
19 | therapy under subsection (a) and whether the recipient meets | ||||||
20 | the standard for administration of psychotropic medication or | ||||||
21 | electroconvulsive therapy under Section 2-107.1 of this Code. | ||||||
22 | If the physician determines that the recipient meets the | ||||||
23 | standard for administration of psychotropic medication or | ||||||
24 | electroconvulsive therapy
under Section 2-107.1, the facility | ||||||
25 | director or his or her designee shall petition the court for | ||||||
26 | administration of psychotropic medication or electroconvulsive |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | therapy pursuant to that Section unless the facility director | ||||||
2 | or his or her designee states in writing in the recipient's | ||||||
3 | record why the filing of such a petition is not warranted. This | ||||||
4 | subsection (h) applies only to State-operated mental health | ||||||
5 | facilities. | ||||||
6 | (i) The Department shall conduct annual trainings for all | ||||||
7 | physicians and registered nurses working in State-operated | ||||||

9 | administration of psychotropic medication and | ||||||
10 | electroconvulsive therapy, standards for their use, and the | ||||||

Care Act of | ||||||
16 | 1969, as now or hereafter amended, and all other facilities
| ||||||
17 | providing care or treatment to mentally ill persons. Such | ||||||
18 | access shall be
granted for the purposes of meeting with | ||||||
19 | residents and staff, informing
them of services available from | ||||||
20 | the agency, distributing written
information about the agency | ||||||

the Abused and Neglected Child | ||||||
9 | Reporting Act and the Nursing Home Care Act,
the provisions of | ||||||
10 | the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act and the

11 | Home Care Act shall apply. The agency shall also have access, | ||||||
12 | for
the purpose of inspection and copying, to the records of a | ||||||
13 | mentally ill
person (i) who by reason of his or her mental or | ||||||
14 | physical condition is
unable to authorize the agency to have | ||||||
15 | such access; (ii) who does not have
a legal guardian or for | ||||||
16 | whom the State or a designee of the State is the
legal | ||||||
17 | guardian; and (iii) with respect to whom a complaint has been
| ||||||
18 | received by the agency or with respect to whom there is | ||||||
19 | probable cause to
believe that such person has been subjected | ||||||
20 | to abuse or neglect.
| ||||||
21 | The agency shall provide written notice
to the mentally ill | ||||||
22 | person and the State guardian of the nature of the
complaint | ||||||
23 | based upon which the agency has gained access to
the records. | ||||||
24 | No record or the contents of the record shall be redisclosed
by | ||||||
25 | the agency unless the person who is mentally ill and the State | ||||||
26 | guardian
are provided 7 days advance written notice, except in |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | emergency situations,
of the agency's intent to redisclose such | ||||||
2 | record. Within such 7-day
period, the mentally ill person or | ||||||
3 | the State guardian may seek an
injunction prohibiting the | ||||||
4 | agency's redisclosure of such record on the
grounds that such | ||||||
5 | redisclosure is contrary to the interests of the mentally
ill | ||||||
6 | person.
| ||||||
7 | Upon request, the authorized agency shall be entitled to | ||||||
8 | inspect and copy
any clinical or trust fund records of mentally | ||||||
9 | ill persons which may further
the agency's investigation
of | ||||||
10 | alleged problems affecting numbers of mentally ill persons. | ||||||
11 | When
required by law, any personally identifiable information | ||||||
12 | of mentally ill
persons shall be removed from the records. | ||||||
13 | However, the agency may not
inspect or copy any records or | ||||||
14 | other materials when the removal of
personally identifiable | ||||||
15 | information imposes an unreasonable burden on any
facility as | ||||||
16 | defined by the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities
| ||||||
17 | Code, the Nursing Home Care Act, the Specialized Mental Health | ||||||
18 | Rehabilitation Act of 2013 , or the Child Care Act of 1969, or | ||||||
19 | any other
facility providing care or treatment to mentally ill | ||||||
20 | persons.
| ||||||
21 | (D) Prior to instituting any legal action in a federal or | ||||||
22 | State
court on behalf of a mentally ill individual, an eligible | ||||||
23 | protection and
advocacy system, or a State agency or nonprofit
| ||||||
24 | organization which entered into a contract with such an | ||||||
25 | eligible system under
Section 104(a) of the federal Protection | ||||||
26 | and Advocacy for Mentally Ill
Individuals Act of 1986, shall |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | exhaust in a timely manner all
administrative remedies where | ||||||
2 | appropriate. If, in pursuing administrative
remedies, the | ||||||
3 | system, State agency or organization determines that any
matter | ||||||
4 | with respect to such individual will not be resolved within a
| ||||||
5 | reasonable time, the system, State agency or organization may | ||||||
6 | pursue
alternative remedies, including the initiation of | ||||||
7 | appropriate legal action.

12 | delayed or restricted.
| ||||||
13 | (4) A determination that the disability originated | ||||||
14 | before the age of
18 years.
| ||||||
15 | A determination of severe and multiple impairments shall be | ||||||
16 | based upon a
comprehensive, documented assessment with an | ||||||
17 | evaluation by a licensed
clinical psychologist or | ||||||

required premium | ||||||
21 | shall be paid in advance of any covered medical visit.

single person to be | ||||||
10 | disregarded
shall not be less than $2,000, and the amount of | ||||||

16 | provided
in Section 8A-8.
| ||||||
17 | The eligibility of any person for medical assistance under | ||||||

19 | of donations or benefits
from fundraisers held for the person | ||||||
20 | in cases of serious illness,
as long as neither the person nor | ||||||
21 | members of the person's family
have actual control over the | ||||||
22 | donations or benefits or the disbursement
of the donations or | ||||||
23 | benefits.
| ||||||
24 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, if the | ||||||
25 | United States Supreme Court holds Title II, Subtitle A, Section | ||||||
26 | 2001(a) of Public Law 111-148 to be unconstitutional, or if a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | holding of Public Law 111-148 makes Medicaid eligibility | ||||||
2 | allowed under Section 2001(a) inoperable, the State or a unit | ||||||
3 | of local government shall be prohibited from enrolling | ||||||
4 | individuals in the Medical Assistance Program as the result of | ||||||
5 | federal approval of a State Medicaid waiver on or after the | ||||||
6 | effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General | ||||||
7 | Assembly, and any individuals enrolled in the Medical | ||||||
8 | Assistance Program pursuant to eligibility permitted as a | ||||||
9 | result of such a State Medicaid waiver shall become immediately | ||||||
10 | ineligible. | ||||||
11 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, if an Act | ||||||
12 | of Congress that becomes a Public Law eliminates Section | ||||||
13 | 2001(a) of Public Law 111-148, the State or a unit of local | ||||||
14 | government shall be prohibited from enrolling individuals in | ||||||
15 | the Medical Assistance Program as the result of federal | ||||||
16 | approval of a State Medicaid waiver on or after the effective | ||||||

16 | (a) The Veterans' Health Insurance Program is created. This | ||||||
17 | Program is not an entitlement. Enrollment is based on the | ||||||
18 | availability of funds, and enrollment may be capped based on | ||||||
19 | funds appropriated for the Program. As soon as practical after | ||||||
20 | the effective date of this Act, coverage for this Program shall | ||||||
21 | begin. The Program shall be administered by the Department of | ||||||
22 | Healthcare and Family Services in collaboration with the | ||||||
23 | Department of Veterans' Affairs. The Department shall have the | ||||||
24 | same powers and authority to administer the Program as are |

2 | administration of the Illinois Public Aid Code. The Department | ||||||
3 | shall coordinate the Program with other health programs | ||||||
4 | operated by the Department and other State and federal | ||||||
5 | agencies. | ||||||
6 | (b) The Department shall operate the Program in a manner so | ||||||
7 | that the estimated cost of the Program during the fiscal year | ||||||
8 | will not exceed the total appropriation for the Program. The | ||||||
9 | Department may take any appropriate action to limit spending or | ||||||
10 | enrollment into the Program, including, but not limited to, | ||||||
11 | ceasing to accept or process applications, reviewing | ||||||
12 | eligibility more frequently than annually, adjusting | ||||||
13 | cost-sharing, or reducing the income threshold for eligibility | ||||||
14 | as necessary to control expenditures for the Program.
| ||||||
15 | (c) Notwithstanding subsections (a) and (b) and with the | ||||||
16 | mutual agreement of the Department of Veterans' Affairs and the | ||||||
17 | Department of Healthcare and Family Services, the operation of | ||||||
18 | the Program may be changed to simplify its administration and | ||||||
19 | to take advantage of health insurance coverage that may be | ||||||
20 | available to veterans under the Patient Protection and | ||||||
21 | Affordable Care Act. | ||||||

| ||||||
12 | (410 ILCS 420/1.5) | ||||||
13 | Sec. 1.5. Findings. The General Assembly finds all of the | ||||||
14 | following: | ||||||
15 | (1) Inherited hemophilia and other bleeding disorders | ||||||
16 | are devastating health conditions that can cause serious | ||||||
17 | financial, social, and emotional hardships for patients | ||||||
18 | and their families. Hemophilia, which occurs predominantly | ||||||
19 | in males, is a rare but well-known type of inherited | ||||||
20 | bleeding disorder in which one of several proteins normally | ||||||
21 | found in blood are either deficient or inactive, and | ||||||
22 | causing pain, swelling, and permanent damage to joints and | ||||||
23 | muscles. The disorder affects Americans of all racial and | ||||||
24 | ethnic backgrounds. In about one-third of all cases, there | ||||||
25 | is no known family history of the disorder. In these cases, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the disease developed after a new or spontaneous gene | ||||||
2 | mutation. | ||||||
3 | (2) Hemophilia is one of a spectrum of devastating | ||||||
4 | chronic bleeding disorders impacting Americans. Von | ||||||
5 | Willebrand Disease, another type of bleeding disorder, is | ||||||
6 | caused by a deficiency on the von Willebrand protein. | ||||||
7 | Persons with the disorder often bruise easily, have | ||||||
8 | frequent nosebleeds, or bleed after tooth extraction, | ||||||
9 | tonsillectomy, or other surgery. In some instances, women | ||||||
10 | will have prolonged menstrual bleeding. The disorder | ||||||
11 | occurs in about 1% to 2% of the U.S. population. | ||||||
12 | (3) Appropriate care and treatment are necessities for | ||||||
13 | maintaining optimum health for persons afflicted with | ||||||
14 | hemophilia and other bleeding disorders. | ||||||
15 | (4) While hemophilia and other bleeding disorders are | ||||||
16 | incurable, advancements in drug therapies are allowing | ||||||
17 | individuals greater latitude in managing their conditions, | ||||||
18 | fostering independence, and minimizing chronic | ||||||
19 | complications such as damage to the joints and muscles, | ||||||
20 | blood-transmitted infectious diseases, and chronic liver | ||||||
21 | diseases. At the same time, treatment for clotting | ||||||
22 | disorders is saving more and more lives. The rarity of | ||||||
23 | these disorders coupled with the delicate processes for | ||||||
24 | producing factors, however, makes treating these disorders | ||||||
25 | extremely costly. As a result, insurance coverage is a | ||||||
26 | major concern for patients and their families. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (5) It is thus the intent of the General Assembly to | ||||||
2 | coordinate State support for through implementation of | ||||||
3 | this Act to establish an advisory board to provide expert | ||||||
4 | advice to the State on health and insurance policies, | ||||||
5 | plans, and public health programs that impact individuals | ||||||
6 | with hemophilia and other bleeding disorders with the | ||||||
7 | health insurance protections made available to all | ||||||
8 | Americans under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care | ||||||
9 | Act .

Affordable Care Act. Coverage of blood | ||||||
23 | and blood derivatives for use in hospitals, in medical and | ||||||
24 | dental facilities, or at home shall be coordinated with the | ||||||

21 | Sec. 5A-2. Assessment.
| ||||||
22 | (a)
Subject to Sections 5A-3 and 5A-10, for State fiscal |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | years 2009 through 2014, and from July 1, 2014 through December | ||||||
2 | 31, 2014, an annual assessment on inpatient services is imposed | ||||||
3 | on each hospital provider in an amount equal to $218.38 | ||||||
4 | multiplied by the difference of the hospital's occupied bed | ||||||
5 | days less the hospital's Medicare bed days. | ||||||
6 | For State fiscal years 2009 through 2014, and after a | ||||||
7 | hospital's occupied bed days and Medicare bed days shall be | ||||||
8 | determined using the most recent data available from each | ||||||
9 | hospital's 2005 Medicare cost report as contained in the | ||||||
10 | Healthcare Cost Report Information System file, for the quarter | ||||||
11 | ending on December 31, 2006, without regard to any subsequent | ||||||
12 | adjustments or changes to such data. If a hospital's 2005 | ||||||
13 | Medicare cost report is not contained in the Healthcare Cost | ||||||
14 | Report Information System, then the Illinois Department may | ||||||
15 | obtain the hospital provider's occupied bed days and Medicare | ||||||
16 | bed days from any source available, including, but not limited | ||||||
17 | to, records maintained by the hospital provider, which may be | ||||||

24 | 30, 2012, and for State fiscal years 2013 through 2014, and | ||||||
25 | July 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014, an annual assessment on | ||||||
26 | outpatient services is imposed on each hospital provider in an |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | amount equal to .008766 multiplied by the hospital's outpatient | ||||||
2 | gross revenue. For the period beginning June 10, 2012 through | ||||||
3 | June 30, 2012, the annual assessment on outpatient services | ||||||
4 | shall be prorated by multiplying the assessment amount by a | ||||||
5 | fraction, the numerator of which is 21 days and the denominator | ||||||
6 | of which is 365 days. | ||||||
7 | For the portion of State fiscal year 2012, beginning June | ||||||
8 | 10, 2012 through June 30, 2012, and State fiscal years 2013 | ||||||
9 | through 2014, and July 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014, a | ||||||
10 | hospital's outpatient gross revenue shall be determined using | ||||||
11 | the most recent data available from each hospital's 2009 | ||||||
12 | Medicare cost report as contained in the Healthcare Cost Report | ||||||
13 | Information System file, for the quarter ending on June 30, | ||||||
14 | 2011, without regard to any subsequent adjustments or changes | ||||||
15 | to such data. If a hospital's 2009 Medicare cost report is not | ||||||

17 | then the Department may obtain the hospital provider's | ||||||
18 | outpatient gross revenue from any source available, including, | ||||||
19 | but not limited to, records maintained by the hospital | ||||||
20 | provider, which may be inspected at all times during business | ||||||
21 | hours of the day by the Department or its duly authorized | ||||||
22 | agents and employees. | ||||||

26 | the rate of any annual assessment imposed under this Section, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | as authorized by Section 5-46.2 of the Illinois Administrative | ||||||

| ||||||
3 | (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, | ||||||
4 | any plan providing for an assessment on a hospital provider as | ||||||
5 | a permissible tax under Title XIX of the federal Social | ||||||
6 | Security Act and Medicaid-eligible payments to hospital | ||||||
7 | providers from the revenues derived from that assessment shall | ||||||
8 | be reviewed by the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family | ||||||
9 | Services, as the Single State Medicaid Agency required by | ||||||
10 | federal law, to determine whether those assessments and | ||||||
11 | hospital provider payments meet federal Medicaid standards. If | ||||||
12 | the Department determines that the elements of the plan may | ||||||
13 | meet federal Medicaid standards and a related State Medicaid | ||||||
14 | Plan Amendment is prepared in a manner and form suitable for | ||||||
15 | submission, that State Plan Amendment shall be submitted in a | ||||||

18 | Human Services and subject to approval by the Centers for | ||||||
19 | Medicare and Medicaid Services of the United States Department | ||||||
20 | of Health and Human Services. No such plan shall become | ||||||
21 | effective without approval by the Illinois General Assembly by | ||||||
22 | the enactment into law of related legislation. Notwithstanding | ||||||
23 | any other provision of this Section, the Department is | ||||||
24 | authorized to adopt rules to reduce the rate of any annual | ||||||
25 | assessment imposed under this Section. Any such rules may be | ||||||
26 | adopted by the Department under Section 5-50 of the Illinois |

20 | assessment for the year, on the 14th State business day of each | ||||||
21 | month. No installment payment of an assessment imposed by | ||||||
22 | subsection (b-5) of Section 5A-2 shall be due and payable, | ||||||
23 | however, until after: (i) the Department notifies the hospital | ||||||
24 | provider, in writing, that the payment methodologies to | ||||||
25 | hospitals required under Section 5A-12.4, have been approved by |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services of the U.S. | ||||||
2 | Department of Health and Human Services, and the waiver under | ||||||
3 | 42 CFR 433.68 for the assessment imposed by subsection (b-5) of | ||||||
4 | Section 5A-2, if necessary, has been granted by the Centers for | ||||||
5 | Medicare and Medicaid Services of the U.S. Department of Health | ||||||
6 | and Human Services; and (ii) the Comptroller has issued the | ||||||
7 | payments required under Section 5A-12.4. Upon notification to | ||||||
8 | the Department of approval of the payment methodologies | ||||||
9 | required under Section 5A-12.4 and the waiver granted under 42 | ||||||
10 | CFR 433.68, if necessary, all installments otherwise due under | ||||||
11 | subsection (b-5) of Section 5A-2 prior to the date of | ||||||
12 | notification shall be due and payable to the Department upon | ||||||
13 | written direction from the Department and issuance by the | ||||||
14 | Comptroller of the payments required under Section 5A-12.4. | ||||||
15 | (a-5) The Illinois Department may accelerate the schedule | ||||||
16 | upon which assessment installments are due and payable by | ||||||
17 | hospitals with a payment ratio greater than or equal to one. | ||||||
18 | Such acceleration of due dates for payment of the assessment | ||||||
19 | may be made only in conjunction with a corresponding | ||||||
20 | acceleration in access payments identified in Section 5A-12.2 | ||||||
21 | or Section 5A-12.4 to the same hospitals. For the purposes of | ||||||
22 | this subsection (a-5), a hospital's payment ratio is defined as | ||||||
23 | the quotient obtained by dividing the total payments for the | ||||||
24 | State fiscal year, as authorized under Section 5A-12.2 or | ||||||
25 | Section 5A-12.4, by the total assessment for the State fiscal | ||||||
26 | year imposed under Section 5A-2 or subsection (b-5) of Section |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 5A-2. | ||||||
2 | (b) The Illinois Department is authorized to establish
| ||||||
3 | delayed payment schedules for hospital providers that are | ||||||
4 | unable
to make installment payments when due under this Section | ||||||
5 | due to
financial difficulties, as determined by the Illinois | ||||||
6 | Department.
| ||||||
7 | (c) If a hospital provider fails to pay the full amount of
| ||||||
8 | an installment when due (including any extensions granted under
| ||||||
9 | subsection (b)), there shall, unless waived by the Illinois
| ||||||
10 | Department for reasonable cause, be added to the assessment
| ||||||
11 | imposed by Section 5A-2 a penalty
assessment equal to the | ||||||
12 | lesser of (i) 5% of the amount of the
installment not paid on | ||||||
13 | or before the due date plus 5% of the
portion thereof remaining | ||||||
14 | unpaid on the last day of each 30-day period
thereafter or (ii) | ||||||
15 | 100% of the installment amount not paid on or
before the due | ||||||
16 | date. For purposes of this subsection, payments
will be | ||||||
17 | credited first to unpaid installment amounts (rather than
to | ||||||
18 | penalty or interest), beginning with the most delinquent
| ||||||
19 | installments.
| ||||||
20 | (d) Any assessment amount that is due and payable to the | ||||||
21 | Illinois Department more frequently than once per calendar | ||||||
22 | quarter shall be remitted to the Illinois Department by the | ||||||
23 | hospital provider by means of electronic funds transfer. The | ||||||
24 | Illinois Department may provide for remittance by other means | ||||||
25 | if (i) the amount due is less than $10,000 or (ii) electronic | ||||||
26 | funds transfer is unavailable for this purpose. |

10 | and Medicaid Services of the U.S. Department of Health and | ||||||
11 | Human Services that the payment methodologies required under | ||||||
12 | this Article and, if necessary, the waiver granted under 42 CFR | ||||||

assessment for each | ||||||
10 | hospital separately.
| ||||||
11 | (c) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article, in

12 | the case of a person who ceases to conduct, operate, or | ||||||

hospital in respect of which the person is subject | ||||||
14 | to assessment
under this Article as a hospital provider, the | ||||||
15 | assessment for the State
fiscal year in which the cessation | ||||||

fraction, the numerator of which is the | ||||||
18 | number of days in the
year during which the provider conducts, | ||||||
19 | operates, or maintains
the hospital and the denominator of | ||||||
20 | which is 365. Immediately
upon ceasing to conduct, operate, or | ||||||

shall pay the assessment
for | ||||||
22 | the year as so adjusted (to the extent not previously paid).

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article, | ||||||
5 | for State fiscal years 2009 through 2015, in the case of a | ||||||
6 | hospital provider that did not conduct, operate, or maintain a | ||||||
7 | hospital in 2005, the assessment for that State fiscal year | ||||||
8 | shall be computed on the basis of hypothetical occupied bed | ||||||
9 | days for the full calendar year as determined by the Illinois | ||||||
10 | Department. Notwithstanding any other provision in this | ||||||
11 | Article, for the portion of State fiscal year 2012 beginning | ||||||
12 | June 10, 2012 through June 30, 2012, and for State fiscal years | ||||||
13 | 2013 through 2014, and for July 1, 2014 through December 31, | ||||||
14 | 2014, in the case of a hospital provider that did not conduct, | ||||||
15 | operate, or maintain a hospital in 2009, the assessment under | ||||||
16 | subsection (b-5) of Section 5A-2 for that State fiscal year | ||||||
17 | shall be computed on the basis of hypothetical gross outpatient | ||||||
18 | revenue for the full calendar year as determined by the | ||||||

9 | as follows:
| ||||||
10 | (305 ILCS 5/3-1.2) (from Ch. 23, par. 3-1.2)
| ||||||
11 | Sec. 3-1.2. Need. Income available to the person, when | ||||||
12 | added to
contributions in money, substance, or services from | ||||||
13 | other sources,
including contributions from legally | ||||||
14 | responsible relatives, must be
insufficient to equal the grant | ||||||
15 | amount established by Department regulation
for such person.
| ||||||
16 | In determining earned income to be taken into account, | ||||||
17 | consideration
shall be given to any expenses reasonably | ||||||
18 | attributable to the earning of
such income. If federal law or | ||||||
19 | regulations permit or require exemption
of earned or other | ||||||
20 | income and resources, the Illinois Department shall
provide by | ||||||
21 | rule and regulation that the amount of income to be
disregarded | ||||||
22 | be increased (1) to the maximum extent so required and (2)
to | ||||||
23 | the maximum extent permitted by federal law or regulation in |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | effect
as of the date this Amendatory Act becomes law. The | ||||||
2 | Illinois Department
may also provide by rule and regulation | ||||||
3 | that the amount of resources to
be disregarded be increased to | ||||||
4 | the maximum extent so permitted or required. Subject to federal | ||||||
5 | approval, resources (for example, land, buildings, equipment, | ||||||
6 | supplies, or tools), including farmland property and personal | ||||||
7 | property used in the income-producing operations related to the | ||||||
8 | farmland (for example, equipment and supplies, motor vehicles, | ||||||
9 | or tools), necessary for self-support, up to $6,000 of the | ||||||
10 | person's equity in the income-producing property, provided | ||||||
11 | that the property produces a net annual income of at least 6% | ||||||
12 | of the excluded equity value of the property, are exempt. | ||||||
13 | Equity value in excess of $6,000 shall not be excluded . If if | ||||||
14 | the activity produces income that is less than 6% of the exempt | ||||||
15 | equity due to reasons beyond the person's control (for example, | ||||||
16 | the person's illness or crop failure) and there is a reasonable | ||||||
17 | expectation that the property will again produce income equal | ||||||
18 | to or greater than 6% of the equity value (for example, a | ||||||
19 | medical prognosis that the person is expected to respond to | ||||||
20 | treatment or that drought-resistant corn will be planted) , the | ||||||
21 | equity value in the property up to $6,000 is exempt . If the | ||||||
22 | person owns more than one piece of property and each produces | ||||||
23 | income, each piece of property shall be looked at to determine | ||||||
24 | whether the 6% rule is met, and then the amounts of the | ||||||
25 | person's equity in all of those properties shall be totaled to | ||||||
26 | determine whether the total equity is $6,000 or less. The total |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | equity value of all properties that is exempt shall be limited | ||||||

8 | specifically set aside for the
funeral and burial arrangements | ||||||
9 | of the individual or his or her dependents,
including prepaid | ||||||
10 | funeral and burial plans, to the same extent that such
items | ||||||
11 | are excluded from consideration under the federal Supplemental
| ||||||
12 | Security Income program (SSI). | ||||||
13 | Prepaid funeral or burial contracts are exempt to the | ||||||
14 | following extent:
| ||||||
15 | (1) Funds in a revocable prepaid funeral or burial | ||||||
16 | contract are exempt up to $1,500, except that any portion | ||||||
17 | of a contract that clearly represents the purchase of | ||||||
18 | burial space, as that term is defined for purposes of the | ||||||
19 | Supplemental Security Income program, is exempt regardless | ||||||
20 | of value. | ||||||
21 | (2) Funds in an irrevocable prepaid funeral or burial | ||||||
22 | contract are exempt up to $5,874, except that any portion | ||||||
23 | of a contract that clearly represents the purchase of | ||||||
24 | burial space, as that term is defined for purposes of the | ||||||
25 | Supplemental Security Income program, is exempt regardless | ||||||
26 | of value. This amount shall be adjusted annually for any |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | increase in the Consumer Price Index. The amount exempted | ||||||
2 | shall be limited to the price of the funeral goods and | ||||||
3 | services to be provided upon death. The contract must | ||||||
4 | provide a complete description of the funeral goods and | ||||||
5 | services to be provided and the price thereof. Any amount | ||||||

7 | transfer of assets for less than fair market value. | ||||||
8 | (3) A prepaid, guaranteed-price funeral or burial | ||||||
9 | contract, funded by an irrevocable assignment of a person's | ||||||
10 | life insurance policy to a trust, is exempt. The amount | ||||||
11 | exempted shall be limited to the amount of the insurance | ||||||
12 | benefit designated for the cost of the funeral goods and | ||||||
13 | services to be provided upon the person's death. The | ||||||
14 | contract must provide a complete description of the funeral | ||||||
15 | goods and services to be provided and the price thereof. | ||||||
16 | Any amount in the contract not so specified shall be | ||||||
17 | treated as a transfer of assets for less than fair market | ||||||
18 | value. The trust must include a statement that, upon the | ||||||
19 | death of the person, the State will receive all amounts | ||||||
20 | remaining in the trust, including any remaining payable | ||||||
21 | proceeds under the insurance policy up to an amount equal | ||||||
22 | to the total medical assistance paid on behalf of the | ||||||
23 | person. The trust is responsible for ensuring that the | ||||||
24 | provider of funeral services under the contract receives | ||||||
25 | the proceeds of the policy when it provides the funeral | ||||||
26 | goods and services specified under the contract. The |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | irrevocable assignment of ownership of the insurance | ||||||
2 | policy must be acknowledged by the insurance company. | ||||||
3 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code to the | ||||||
4 | contrary, an irrevocable trust containing the resources of a | ||||||
5 | person who is determined to have a disability shall be | ||||||
6 | considered exempt from consideration. A pooled Such trust must | ||||||
7 | be established and managed by a non-profit association that | ||||||
8 | pools funds but maintains a separate account for each | ||||||
9 | beneficiary. The trust may be established by the person, a | ||||||
10 | parent, grandparent, legal guardian, or court. It must be | ||||||
11 | established for the sole benefit of the person and language | ||||||
12 | contained in the trust shall stipulate that any amount | ||||||
13 | remaining in the trust (up to the amount expended by the | ||||||
14 | Department on medical assistance) that is not retained by the | ||||||
15 | trust for reasonable administrative costs related to wrapping | ||||||
16 | up the affairs of the subaccount shall be paid to the | ||||||
17 | Department upon the death of the person. After a person reaches | ||||||
18 | age 65, any funding by or on behalf of the person to the trust | ||||||
19 | shall be treated as a transfer of assets for less than fair | ||||||
20 | market value unless the person is a ward of a county public | ||||||
21 | guardian or the State guardian pursuant to Section 13-5 of the | ||||||
22 | Probate Act of 1975 or Section 30 of the Guardianship and | ||||||
23 | Advocacy Act and lives in the community, or the person is a | ||||||
24 | ward of a county public guardian or the State guardian pursuant | ||||||
25 | to Section 13-5 of the Probate Act of 1975 or Section 30 of the | ||||||
26 | Guardianship and Advocacy Act and a court has found that any |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | expenditures from the trust will maintain or enhance the | ||||||
2 | person's quality of life. If the trust contains proceeds from a | ||||||
3 | personal injury settlement, any Department charge must be | ||||||
4 | satisfied in order for the transfer to the trust to be treated | ||||||
5 | as a transfer for fair market value. | ||||||
6 | The homestead shall be exempt from consideration except to | ||||||
7 | the extent
that it meets the income and shelter needs of the | ||||||
8 | person. "Homestead"
means the dwelling house and contiguous | ||||||
9 | real estate owned and occupied
by the person, regardless of its | ||||||
10 | value. Subject to federal approval, a person shall not be | ||||||
11 | eligible for long-term care services, however, if the person's | ||||||
12 | equity interest in his or her homestead exceeds the minimum | ||||||
13 | home equity as allowed and increased annually under federal | ||||||
14 | law. Subject to federal approval, on and after the effective | ||||||
15 | date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly, | ||||||
16 | homestead property transferred to a trust shall no longer be | ||||||
17 | considered homestead property.

of public aid | ||||||
23 | under this Article is not affected by the payment of any
grant | ||||||

and implement a consolidated standard | ||||||
4 | to determine need and eligibility
for and amount of benefits | ||||||
5 | under this Article or a uniform cash supplement
to the federal | ||||||
6 | Supplemental Security Income program for all or any part
of the | ||||||
7 | then current recipients under this Article; provided, however, | ||||||
8 | that
the establishment or implementation of such a standard or | ||||||
9 | supplement shall
not result in reductions in benefits under | ||||||

9 | (a) The amount and nature of
medical assistance shall be | ||||||
10 | determined in accordance
with the standards, rules, and | ||||||
11 | regulations of the Department of Healthcare and Family | ||||||
12 | Services, with due regard to the requirements and conditions in | ||||||
13 | each case,
including contributions available from legally | ||||||

Disabled Persons Property | ||||||
17 | Tax Relief Act or any
distributions or items of income | ||||||
18 | described under subparagraph (X) of
paragraph (2) of subsection | ||||||
19 | (a) of Section 203 of the Illinois Income Tax
Act.
The amount | ||||||
20 | and nature of medical assistance shall not be affected by the

21 | receipt of donations or benefits from fundraisers in cases of | ||||||
22 | serious
illness, as long as neither the person nor members of | ||||||
23 | the person's family
have actual control over the donations or | ||||||

8 | resources, to the extent either the institutionalized spouse or | ||||||
9 | community spouse has an ownership interest in them pursuant to | ||||||
10 | 42 U.S.C. 1396r-5, such refusal may result in the | ||||||
11 | institutionalized spouse being denied eligibility and | ||||||
12 | continuing to remain ineligible for the medical assistance | ||||||
13 | program based on failure to cooperate. | ||||||
14 | Subject to federal approval, the community spouse

| ||||||
19 | greater. The monthly maintenance allowance for the community | ||||||
20 | spouse shall be
established and maintained at the higher of | ||||||
21 | $2,739 per month or the minimum level permitted pursuant to | ||||||
22 | Section
1924(d)(3) (C) of the Social Security Act, as now or | ||||||
23 | hereafter amended, or an amount set after a fair hearing, | ||||||

7 | (i) The Department may seek support for an | ||||||
8 | institutionalized spouse, who has assigned his or her right | ||||||
9 | of support from his or her spouse to the State, from the | ||||||
10 | resources and income available to the community spouse. | ||||||
11 | (ii) The Department may bring an action in the circuit | ||||||
12 | court to establish support orders or itself establish | ||||||
13 | administrative support orders by any means and procedures | ||||||
14 | authorized in this Code, as applicable, except that the | ||||||
15 | standard and regulations for determining ability to | ||||||
16 | support in Section 10-3 shall not limit the amount of | ||||||
17 | support that may be ordered. | ||||||
18 | (iii) Proceedings may be initiated to obtain support, | ||||||
19 | or for the recovery of aid granted during the period such | ||||||
20 | support was not provided, or both, for the obtainment of | ||||||
21 | support and the recovery of the aid provided. Proceedings | ||||||
22 | for the recovery of aid may be taken separately or they may | ||||||
23 | be consolidated with actions to obtain support. Such | ||||||
24 | proceedings may be brought in the name of the person or | ||||||
25 | persons requiring support or may be brought in the name of | ||||||
26 | the Department, as the case requires. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (iv) The orders for the payment of moneys for the | ||||||
2 | support of the person shall be just and equitable and may | ||||||
3 | direct payment thereof for such period or periods of time | ||||||
4 | as the circumstances require, including support for a | ||||||
5 | period before the date the order for support is entered. In | ||||||
6 | no event shall the orders reduce the community spouse | ||||||
7 | resource allowance below the level established in | ||||||
8 | subsection (a) of this Section or an amount set after a | ||||||
9 | fair hearing, whichever is greater, or reduce the monthly | ||||||
10 | maintenance allowance for the community spouse below the | ||||||
11 | level permitted pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section.

6 | procedures provided by or under the supervision of a dentist in | ||||||
7 | the practice of his or her profession; (11) physical therapy | ||||||
8 | and related
services; (12) prescribed drugs, dentures, and | ||||||

15 | co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders is | ||||||
16 | determined using a uniform screening, assessment, and | ||||||
17 | evaluation process inclusive of criteria, for children and | ||||||
18 | adults; for purposes of this item (13), a uniform screening, | ||||||
19 | assessment, and evaluation process refers to a process that | ||||||
20 | includes an appropriate evaluation and, as warranted, a | ||||||
21 | referral; "uniform" does not mean the use of a singular | ||||||
22 | instrument, tool, or process that all must utilize; (14)

| ||||||
7 | miscarriages or premature births, unless, in the opinion of a | ||||||
8 | physician,
such procedures are necessary for the preservation | ||||||
9 | of the life of the
woman seeking such treatment, or except an | ||||||
10 | induced premature birth
intended to produce a live viable child | ||||||
11 | and such procedure is necessary
for the health of the mother or | ||||||
12 | her unborn child. The Illinois Department,
by rule, shall | ||||||
13 | prohibit any physician from providing medical assistance
to | ||||||
14 | anyone eligible therefor under this Code where such physician | ||||||
15 | has been
found guilty of performing an abortion procedure in a | ||||||
16 | wilful and wanton
manner upon a woman who was not pregnant at | ||||||
17 | the time such abortion
procedure was performed. The term "any | ||||||
18 | other type of remedial care" shall
include nursing care and | ||||||
19 | nursing home service for persons who rely on
treatment by | ||||||
20 | spiritual means alone through prayer for healing.
| ||||||
21 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, a | ||||||
22 | comprehensive
tobacco use cessation program that includes | ||||||
23 | purchasing prescription drugs or
prescription medical devices | ||||||
24 | approved by the Food and Drug Administration shall
be covered | ||||||
25 | under the medical assistance
program under this Article for | ||||||
26 | persons who are otherwise eligible for
assistance under this |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Article.
| ||||||
2 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, the | ||||||
3 | Illinois
Department may not require, as a condition of payment | ||||||
4 | for any laboratory
test authorized under this Article, that a | ||||||
5 | physician's handwritten signature
appear on the laboratory | ||||||
6 | test order form. The Illinois Department may,
however, impose | ||||||
7 | other appropriate requirements regarding laboratory test
order | ||||||
8 | documentation.
| ||||||
9 | On and after July 1, 2012, the Department of Healthcare and | ||||||
10 | Family Services may provide the following services to
persons
| ||||||
11 | eligible for assistance under this Article who are | ||||||
12 | participating in
education, training or employment programs | ||||||
13 | operated by the Department of Human
Services as successor to | ||||||
14 | the Department of Public Aid:
| ||||||
15 | (1) dental services provided by or under the | ||||||
16 | supervision of a dentist; and
| ||||||
17 | (2) eyeglasses prescribed by a physician skilled in the | ||||||
18 | diseases of the
eye, or by an optometrist, whichever the | ||||||
19 | person may select.
| ||||||
20 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code and | ||||||
21 | subject to federal approval, the Department may adopt rules to | ||||||
22 | allow a dentist who is volunteering his or her service at no | ||||||
23 | cost to render dental services through an enrolled | ||||||
24 | not-for-profit health clinic without the dentist personally | ||||||
25 | enrolling as a participating provider in the medical assistance | ||||||
26 | program. A not-for-profit health clinic shall include a public |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | health clinic or Federally Qualified Health Center or other | ||||||
2 | enrolled provider, as determined by the Department, through | ||||||
3 | which dental services covered under this Section are performed. | ||||||
4 | The Department shall establish a process for payment of claims | ||||||
5 | for reimbursement for covered dental services rendered under | ||||||
6 | this provision. | ||||||
7 | The Illinois Department, by rule, may distinguish and | ||||||
8 | classify the
medical services to be provided only in accordance | ||||||
9 | with the classes of
persons designated in Section 5-2.
| ||||||
10 | The Department of Healthcare and Family Services must | ||||||
11 | provide coverage and reimbursement for amino acid-based | ||||||
12 | elemental formulas, regardless of delivery method, for the | ||||||
13 | diagnosis and treatment of (i) eosinophilic disorders and (ii) | ||||||
14 | short bowel syndrome when the prescribing physician has issued | ||||||
15 | a written order stating that the amino acid-based elemental | ||||||
16 | formula is medically necessary.
| ||||||
17 | The Illinois Department shall authorize the provision of, | ||||||
18 | and shall
authorize payment for, screening by low-dose | ||||||
19 | mammography for the presence of
occult breast cancer for women | ||||||
20 | 35 years of age or older who are eligible
for medical | ||||||
21 | assistance under this Article, as follows: | ||||||
22 | (A) A baseline
mammogram for women 35 to 39 years of | ||||||
23 | age.
| ||||||
24 | (B) An annual mammogram for women 40 years of age or | ||||||
25 | older. | ||||||
26 | (C) A mammogram at the age and intervals considered |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | medically necessary by the woman's health care provider for | ||||||
2 | women under 40 years of age and having a family history of | ||||||
3 | breast cancer, prior personal history of breast cancer, | ||||||
4 | positive genetic testing, or other risk factors. | ||||||
5 | (D) A comprehensive ultrasound screening of an entire | ||||||
6 | breast or breasts if a mammogram demonstrates | ||||||
7 | heterogeneous or dense breast tissue, when medically | ||||||
8 | necessary as determined by a physician licensed to practice | ||||||
9 | medicine in all of its branches. | ||||||
10 | All screenings
shall
include a physical breast exam, | ||||||
11 | instruction on self-examination and
information regarding the | ||||||
12 | frequency of self-examination and its value as a
preventative | ||||||
13 | tool. For purposes of this Section, "low-dose mammography" | ||||||
14 | means
the x-ray examination of the breast using equipment | ||||||
15 | dedicated specifically
for mammography, including the x-ray | ||||||
16 | tube, filter, compression device,
and image receptor, with an | ||||||
17 | average radiation exposure delivery
of less than one rad per | ||||||
18 | breast for 2 views of an average size breast.
The term also | ||||||
19 | includes digital mammography.
| ||||||
20 | On and after January 1, 2012, providers participating in a | ||||||
21 | quality improvement program approved by the Department shall be | ||||||
22 | reimbursed for screening and diagnostic mammography at the same | ||||||
23 | rate as the Medicare program's rates, including the increased | ||||||
24 | reimbursement for digital mammography. | ||||||
25 | The Department shall convene an expert panel including | ||||||
26 | representatives of hospitals, free-standing mammography |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | facilities, and doctors, including radiologists, to establish | ||||||
2 | quality standards. | ||||||
3 | Subject to federal approval, the Department shall | ||||||
4 | establish a rate methodology for mammography at federally | ||||||
5 | qualified health centers and other encounter-rate clinics. | ||||||
6 | These clinics or centers may also collaborate with other | ||||||
7 | hospital-based mammography facilities. | ||||||
8 | The Department shall establish a methodology to remind | ||||||
9 | women who are age-appropriate for screening mammography, but | ||||||
10 | who have not received a mammogram within the previous 18 | ||||||
11 | months, of the importance and benefit of screening mammography. | ||||||
12 | The Department shall establish a performance goal for | ||||||
13 | primary care providers with respect to their female patients | ||||||
14 | over age 40 receiving an annual mammogram. This performance | ||||||
15 | goal shall be used to provide additional reimbursement in the | ||||||
16 | form of a quality performance bonus to primary care providers | ||||||
17 | who meet that goal. | ||||||
18 | The Department shall devise a means of case-managing or | ||||||
19 | patient navigation for beneficiaries diagnosed with breast | ||||||
20 | cancer. This program shall initially operate as a pilot program | ||||||
21 | in areas of the State with the highest incidence of mortality | ||||||
22 | related to breast cancer. At least one pilot program site shall | ||||||
23 | be in the metropolitan Chicago area and at least one site shall | ||||||
24 | be outside the metropolitan Chicago area. An evaluation of the | ||||||
25 | pilot program shall be carried out measuring health outcomes | ||||||
26 | and cost of care for those served by the pilot program compared |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | to similarly situated patients who are not served by the pilot | ||||||
2 | program. | ||||||
3 | Any medical or health care provider shall immediately | ||||||
4 | recommend, to
any pregnant woman who is being provided prenatal | ||||||
5 | services and is suspected
of drug abuse or is addicted as | ||||||
6 | defined in the Alcoholism and Other Drug Abuse
and Dependency | ||||||
7 | Act, referral to a local substance abuse treatment provider
| ||||||
8 | licensed by the Department of Human Services or to a licensed
| ||||||
9 | hospital which provides substance abuse treatment services. | ||||||
10 | The Department of Healthcare and Family Services
shall assure | ||||||
11 | coverage for the cost of treatment of the drug abuse or
| ||||||
12 | addiction for pregnant recipients in accordance with the | ||||||
13 | Illinois Medicaid
Program in conjunction with the Department of | ||||||
14 | Human Services.
| ||||||
15 | All medical providers providing medical assistance to | ||||||
16 | pregnant women
under this Code shall receive information from | ||||||
17 | the Department on the
availability of services under the Drug | ||||||
18 | Free Families with a Future or any
comparable program providing | ||||||
19 | case management services for addicted women,
including | ||||||
20 | information on appropriate referrals for other social services
| ||||||
21 | that may be needed by addicted women in addition to treatment | ||||||
22 | for addiction.
| ||||||
23 | The Illinois Department, in cooperation with the | ||||||
24 | Departments of Human
Services (as successor to the Department | ||||||
25 | of Alcoholism and Substance
Abuse) and Public Health, through a | ||||||
26 | public awareness campaign, may
provide information concerning |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | treatment for alcoholism and drug abuse and
addiction, prenatal | ||||||
2 | health care, and other pertinent programs directed at
reducing | ||||||
3 | the number of drug-affected infants born to recipients of | ||||||
4 | medical
assistance.
| ||||||
5 | Neither the Department of Healthcare and Family Services | ||||||
6 | nor the Department of Human
Services shall sanction the | ||||||
7 | recipient solely on the basis of
her substance abuse.
| ||||||
8 | The Illinois Department shall establish such regulations | ||||||
9 | governing
the dispensing of health services under this Article | ||||||
10 | as it shall deem
appropriate. The Department
should
seek the | ||||||
11 | advice of formal professional advisory committees appointed by
| ||||||
12 | the Director of the Illinois Department for the purpose of | ||||||
13 | providing regular
advice on policy and administrative matters, | ||||||
14 | information dissemination and
educational activities for | ||||||
15 | medical and health care providers, and
consistency in | ||||||
16 | procedures to the Illinois Department.
| ||||||
17 | The Illinois Department may develop and contract with | ||||||
18 | Partnerships of
medical providers to arrange medical services | ||||||
19 | for persons eligible under
Section 5-2 of this Code. | ||||||
20 | Implementation of this Section may be by
demonstration projects | ||||||
21 | in certain geographic areas. The Partnership shall
be | ||||||
22 | represented by a sponsor organization. The Department, by rule, | ||||||
23 | shall
develop qualifications for sponsors of Partnerships. | ||||||
24 | Nothing in this
Section shall be construed to require that the | ||||||
25 | sponsor organization be a
medical organization.
| ||||||
26 | The sponsor must negotiate formal written contracts with |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | medical
providers for physician services, inpatient and | ||||||
2 | outpatient hospital care,
home health services, treatment for | ||||||
3 | alcoholism and substance abuse, and
other services determined | ||||||
4 | necessary by the Illinois Department by rule for
delivery by | ||||||
5 | Partnerships. Physician services must include prenatal and
| ||||||
6 | obstetrical care. The Illinois Department shall reimburse | ||||||
7 | medical services
delivered by Partnership providers to clients | ||||||
8 | in target areas according to
provisions of this Article and the | ||||||
9 | Illinois Health Finance Reform Act,
except that:
| ||||||
10 | (1) Physicians participating in a Partnership and | ||||||
11 | providing certain
services, which shall be determined by | ||||||
12 | the Illinois Department, to persons
in areas covered by the | ||||||
13 | Partnership may receive an additional surcharge
for such | ||||||
14 | services.
| ||||||
15 | (2) The Department may elect to consider and negotiate | ||||||
16 | financial
incentives to encourage the development of | ||||||
17 | Partnerships and the efficient
delivery of medical care.
| ||||||
18 | (3) Persons receiving medical services through | ||||||
19 | Partnerships may receive
medical and case management | ||||||
20 | services above the level usually offered
through the | ||||||
21 | medical assistance program.
| ||||||
22 | Medical providers shall be required to meet certain | ||||||
23 | qualifications to
participate in Partnerships to ensure the | ||||||
24 | delivery of high quality medical
services. These | ||||||
25 | qualifications shall be determined by rule of the Illinois
| ||||||
26 | Department and may be higher than qualifications for |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | participation in the
medical assistance program. Partnership | ||||||
2 | sponsors may prescribe reasonable
additional qualifications | ||||||
3 | for participation by medical providers, only with
the prior | ||||||
4 | written approval of the Illinois Department.
| ||||||
5 | Nothing in this Section shall limit the free choice of | ||||||
6 | practitioners,
hospitals, and other providers of medical | ||||||
7 | services by clients.
In order to ensure patient freedom of | ||||||
8 | choice, the Illinois Department shall
immediately promulgate | ||||||
9 | all rules and take all other necessary actions so that
provided | ||||||
10 | services may be accessed from therapeutically certified | ||||||
11 | optometrists
to the full extent of the Illinois Optometric | ||||||
12 | Practice Act of 1987 without
discriminating between service | ||||||
13 | providers.
| ||||||
14 | The Department shall apply for a waiver from the United | ||||||
15 | States Health
Care Financing Administration to allow for the | ||||||
16 | implementation of
Partnerships under this Section.
| ||||||
17 | The Illinois Department shall require health care | ||||||
18 | providers to maintain
records that document the medical care | ||||||
19 | and services provided to recipients
of Medical Assistance under | ||||||
20 | this Article. Such records must be retained for a period of not | ||||||
21 | less than 6 years from the date of service or as provided by | ||||||
22 | applicable State law, whichever period is longer, except that | ||||||
23 | if an audit is initiated within the required retention period | ||||||
24 | then the records must be retained until the audit is completed | ||||||
25 | and every exception is resolved. The Illinois Department shall
| ||||||
26 | require health care providers to make available, when |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | authorized by the
patient, in writing, the medical records in a | ||||||
2 | timely fashion to other
health care providers who are treating | ||||||
3 | or serving persons eligible for
Medical Assistance under this | ||||||
4 | Article. All dispensers of medical services
shall be required | ||||||
5 | to maintain and retain business and professional records
| ||||||
6 | sufficient to fully and accurately document the nature, scope, | ||||||
7 | details and
receipt of the health care provided to persons | ||||||
8 | eligible for medical
assistance under this Code, in accordance | ||||||
9 | with regulations promulgated by
the Illinois Department. The | ||||||
10 | rules and regulations shall require that proof
of the receipt | ||||||
11 | of prescription drugs, dentures, prosthetic devices and
| ||||||
12 | eyeglasses by eligible persons under this Section accompany | ||||||
13 | each claim
for reimbursement submitted by the dispenser of such | ||||||
14 | medical services.
No such claims for reimbursement shall be | ||||||
15 | approved for payment by the Illinois
Department without such | ||||||
16 | proof of receipt, unless the Illinois Department
shall have put | ||||||
17 | into effect and shall be operating a system of post-payment
| ||||||
18 | audit and review which shall, on a sampling basis, be deemed | ||||||
19 | adequate by
the Illinois Department to assure that such drugs, | ||||||
20 | dentures, prosthetic
devices and eyeglasses for which payment | ||||||
21 | is being made are actually being
received by eligible | ||||||
22 | recipients. Within 90 days after the effective date of
this | ||||||
23 | amendatory Act of 1984, the Illinois Department shall establish | ||||||
24 | a
current list of acquisition costs for all prosthetic devices | ||||||
25 | and any
other items recognized as medical equipment and | ||||||
26 | supplies reimbursable under
this Article and shall update such |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | list on a quarterly basis, except that
the acquisition costs of | ||||||
2 | all prescription drugs shall be updated no
less frequently than | ||||||
3 | every 30 days as required by Section 5-5.12.
| ||||||
4 | The rules and regulations of the Illinois Department shall | ||||||
5 | require
that a written statement including the required opinion | ||||||
6 | of a physician
shall accompany any claim for reimbursement for | ||||||
7 | abortions, or induced
miscarriages or premature births. This | ||||||
8 | statement shall indicate what
procedures were used in providing | ||||||
9 | such medical services.
| ||||||
10 | The Illinois Department shall require all dispensers of | ||||||
11 | medical
services, other than an individual practitioner or | ||||||
12 | group of practitioners,
desiring to participate in the Medical | ||||||
13 | Assistance program
established under this Article to disclose | ||||||
14 | all financial, beneficial,
ownership, equity, surety or other | ||||||
15 | interests in any and all firms,
corporations, partnerships, | ||||||
16 | associations, business enterprises, joint
ventures, agencies, | ||||||
17 | institutions or other legal entities providing any
form of | ||||||
18 | health care services in this State under this Article.
| ||||||
19 | The Illinois Department may require that all dispensers of | ||||||
20 | medical
services desiring to participate in the medical | ||||||
21 | assistance program
established under this Article disclose, | ||||||
22 | under such terms and conditions as
the Illinois Department may | ||||||
23 | by rule establish, all inquiries from clients
and attorneys | ||||||
24 | regarding medical bills paid by the Illinois Department, which
| ||||||
25 | inquiries could indicate potential existence of claims or liens | ||||||
26 | for the
Illinois Department.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Enrollment of a vendor
shall be
subject to a provisional | ||||||
2 | period and shall be conditional for one year. During the period | ||||||
3 | of conditional enrollment, the Department may
terminate the | ||||||
4 | vendor's eligibility to participate in, or may disenroll the | ||||||
5 | vendor from, the medical assistance
program without cause. | ||||||
6 | Unless otherwise specified, such termination of eligibility or | ||||||
7 | disenrollment is not subject to the
Department's hearing | ||||||
8 | process.
However, a disenrolled vendor may reapply without | ||||||
9 | penalty.
| ||||||
10 | The Department has the discretion to limit the conditional | ||||||
11 | enrollment period for vendors based upon category of risk of | ||||||
12 | the vendor. | ||||||
13 | Prior to enrollment and during the conditional enrollment | ||||||
14 | period in the medical assistance program, all vendors shall be | ||||||
15 | subject to enhanced oversight, screening, and review based on | ||||||
16 | the risk of fraud, waste, and abuse that is posed by the | ||||||
17 | category of risk of the vendor. The Illinois Department shall | ||||||
18 | establish the procedures for oversight, screening, and review, | ||||||
19 | which may include, but need not be limited to: criminal and | ||||||
20 | financial background checks; fingerprinting; license, | ||||||
21 | certification, and authorization verifications; unscheduled or | ||||||
22 | unannounced site visits; database checks; prepayment audit | ||||||
23 | reviews; audits; payment caps; payment suspensions; and other | ||||||
24 | screening as required by federal or State law. | ||||||
25 | The Department shall define or specify the following: (i) | ||||||
26 | by provider notice, the "category of risk of the vendor" for |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | each type of vendor, which shall take into account the level of | ||||||
2 | screening applicable to a particular category of vendor under | ||||||
3 | federal law and regulations; (ii) by rule or provider notice, | ||||||
4 | the maximum length of the conditional enrollment period for | ||||||
5 | each category of risk of the vendor; and (iii) by rule, the | ||||||
6 | hearing rights, if any, afforded to a vendor in each category | ||||||
7 | of risk of the vendor that is terminated or disenrolled during | ||||||
8 | the conditional enrollment period. | ||||||
9 | To be eligible for payment consideration, a vendor's | ||||||
10 | payment claim or bill, either as an initial claim or as a | ||||||
11 | resubmitted claim following prior rejection, must be received | ||||||
12 | by the Illinois Department, or its fiscal intermediary, no | ||||||
13 | later than 180 days after the latest date on the claim on which | ||||||
14 | medical goods or services were provided, with the following | ||||||
15 | exceptions: | ||||||
16 | (1) In the case of a provider whose enrollment is in | ||||||
17 | process by the Illinois Department, the 180-day period | ||||||
18 | shall not begin until the date on the written notice from | ||||||
19 | the Illinois Department that the provider enrollment is | ||||||
20 | complete. | ||||||
21 | (2) In the case of errors attributable to the Illinois | ||||||

3 | establish a workgroup that includes affected agency | ||||||
4 | representatives and stakeholders representing the | ||||||
5 | institutional and home and community-based long term care | ||||||
6 | interests. This Section shall not restrict the Department from | ||||||
7 | implementing lower level of care eligibility criteria for | ||||||
8 | community-based services in circumstances where federal | ||||||
9 | approval has been granted.

16 | acquired condition that would cause Medicare to reduce its | ||||||
17 | payment on the claim had the claim been submitted to Medicare, | ||||||
18 | nor shall the Department pay for hospital admissions where a | ||||||
19 | Medicare identified "never event" occurred. | ||||||

22 | the eligibility of persons residing in long term care | ||||||
23 | facilities whose income and resources were at or below the | ||||||
24 | applicable financial eligibility standards at the time of their | ||||||
25 | last review . Within 20 business days of such notification, the | ||||||

11 | determinations of eligibility or ineligibility communicated by | ||||||
12 | the contractor, the actions taken on those preliminary | ||||||
13 | determinations by the Department, and the stated reasons for | ||||||
14 | those recommendations that the Department rejected. | ||||||
15 | (d) An eligibility verification vendor contract shall be | ||||||
16 | awarded for an initial 2-year period with up to a maximum of 2 | ||||||
17 | one-year renewal options. Nothing in this Section shall compel | ||||||
18 | the award of a contract to a vendor that fails to meet the | ||||||
19 | needs of the Department. A contract with a vendor to assist in | ||||||
20 | the procurement shall be awarded for a period of time not to | ||||||
21 | exceed 6 months.
| ||||||
22 | (e) The provisions of this Section shall be administered in | ||||||

3 | make these distributions matchable. | ||||||
4 | (e) The Department of Healthcare and Family Services must | ||||||
5 | submit a State Medicaid Plan Amendment to the Centers for | ||||||
6 | Medicare and Medicaid Services to implement the payments under | ||||||
7 | this Section within 60 days of the effective date of this | ||||||
8 | amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly. | ||||||
9 | (f) Reimbursements or payments by the State. Nothing in | ||||||
10 | this Section may be used to reduce reimbursements or payments | ||||||
11 | by the State to a hospital under any other Act.
| ||||||
12 | Section 11-20. The Illinois Public Aid Code is amended by | ||||||
13 | changing Section 5-30 as follows:
| ||||||
14 | (305 ILCS 5/5-30) | ||||||
15 | Sec. 5-30. Care coordination. | ||||||
16 | (a) At least 50% of recipients eligible for comprehensive | ||||||
17 | medical benefits in all medical assistance programs or other | ||||||
18 | health benefit programs administered by the Department, | ||||||
19 | including the Children's Health Insurance Program Act and the | ||||||
20 | Covering ALL KIDS Health Insurance Act, shall be enrolled in a | ||||||
21 | care coordination program by no later than January 1, 2015. For | ||||||
22 | purposes of this Section, "coordinated care" or "care | ||||||
23 | coordination" means delivery systems where recipients will | ||||||
24 | receive their care from providers who participate under |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | contract in integrated delivery systems that are responsible | ||||||
2 | for providing or arranging the majority of care, including | ||||||
3 | primary care physician services, referrals from primary care | ||||||
4 | physicians, diagnostic and treatment services, behavioral | ||||||
5 | health services, in-patient and outpatient hospital services, | ||||||
6 | dental services, and rehabilitation and long-term care | ||||||
7 | services. The Department shall designate or contract for such | ||||||
8 | integrated delivery systems (i) to ensure enrollees have a | ||||||
9 | choice of systems and of primary care providers within such | ||||||
10 | systems; (ii) to ensure that enrollees receive quality care in | ||||||
11 | a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner; and (iii) | ||||||
12 | to ensure that coordinated care programs meet the diverse needs | ||||||
13 | of enrollees with developmental, mental health, physical, and | ||||||
14 | age-related disabilities. | ||||||
15 | (b) Payment for such coordinated care shall be based on | ||||||
16 | arrangements where the State pays for performance related to | ||||||
17 | health care outcomes, the use of evidence-based practices, the | ||||||
18 | use of primary care delivered through comprehensive medical | ||||||
19 | homes, the use of electronic medical records, and the | ||||||
20 | appropriate exchange of health information electronically made | ||||||
21 | either on a capitated basis in which a fixed monthly premium | ||||||
22 | per recipient is paid and full financial risk is assumed for | ||||||
23 | the delivery of services, or through other risk-based payment | ||||||
24 | arrangements. | ||||||
25 | (c) To qualify for compliance with this Section, the 50% | ||||||
26 | goal shall be achieved by enrolling medical assistance |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | enrollees from each medical assistance enrollment category, | ||||||
2 | including parents, children, seniors, and people with | ||||||
3 | disabilities to the extent that current State Medicaid payment | ||||||
4 | laws would not limit federal matching funds for recipients in | ||||||
5 | care coordination programs. In addition, services must be more | ||||||
6 | comprehensively defined and more risk shall be assumed than in | ||||||
7 | the Department's primary care case management program as of the | ||||||
8 | effective date of this amendatory Act of the 96th General | ||||||
9 | Assembly. | ||||||
10 | (d) The Department shall report to the General Assembly in | ||||||
11 | a separate part of its annual medical assistance program | ||||||
12 | report, beginning April, 2012 until April, 2016, on the | ||||||
13 | progress and implementation of the care coordination program | ||||||
14 | initiatives established by the provisions of this amendatory | ||||||
15 | Act of the 96th General Assembly. The Department shall include | ||||||
16 | in its April 2011 report a full analysis of federal laws or | ||||||
17 | regulations regarding upper payment limitations to providers | ||||||
18 | and the necessary revisions or adjustments in rate | ||||||
19 | methodologies and payments to providers under this Code that | ||||||
20 | would be necessary to implement coordinated care with full | ||||||
21 | financial risk by a party other than the Department.
| ||||||
22 | (e) Integrated Care Program for individuals with chronic | ||||||
23 | mental health conditions. | ||||||
24 | (1) The Integrated Care Program shall encompass | ||||||
25 | services administered to recipients of medical assistance | ||||||
26 | under this Article to prevent exacerbations and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | complications using cost-effective, evidence-based | ||||||
2 | practice guidelines and mental health management | ||||||
3 | strategies. | ||||||
4 | (2) The Department may utilize and expand upon existing | ||||||
5 | contractual arrangements with integrated care plans under | ||||||
6 | the Integrated Care Program for providing the coordinated | ||||||
7 | care provisions of this Section. | ||||||
8 | (3) Payment for such coordinated care shall be based on | ||||||
9 | arrangements where the State pays for performance related | ||||||
10 | to mental health outcomes on a capitated basis in which a | ||||||
11 | fixed monthly premium per recipient is paid and full | ||||||
12 | financial risk is assumed for the delivery of services, or | ||||||
13 | through other risk-based payment arrangements such as | ||||||
14 | provider-based care coordination. | ||||||
15 | (4) The Department shall examine whether chronic | ||||||
16 | mental health management programs and services for | ||||||
17 | recipients with specific chronic mental health conditions | ||||||
18 | do any or all of the following: | ||||||
19 | (A) Improve the patient's overall mental health in | ||||||
20 | a more expeditious and cost-effective manner. | ||||||
21 | (B) Lower costs in other aspects of the medical | ||||||
22 | assistance program, such as hospital admissions, | ||||||
23 | emergency room visits, or more frequent and | ||||||
24 | inappropriate psychotropic drug use. | ||||||
25 | (5) The Department shall work with the facilities and | ||||||
26 | any integrated care plan participating in the program to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | identify and correct barriers to the successful | ||||||
2 | implementation of this subsection (e) prior to and during | ||||||
3 | the implementation to best facilitate the goals and | ||||||
4 | objectives of this subsection (e). | ||||||
5 | (f) A hospital that is located in a county of the State in | ||||||
6 | which the Department mandates some or all of the beneficiaries | ||||||
7 | of the Medical Assistance Program residing in the county to | ||||||
8 | enroll in a Care Coordination Program, as set forth in Section | ||||||
9 | 5-30 of this Code, shall not be eligible for any non-claims | ||||||
10 | based payments not mandated by Article V-A of this Code for | ||||||
11 | which it would otherwise be qualified to receive, unless the | ||||||
12 | hospital is a Coordinated Care Participating Hospital no later | ||||||
13 | than 60 days after the effective date of this amendatory Act of | ||||||
14 | the 97th General Assembly or 60 days after the first mandatory | ||||||
15 | enrollment of a beneficiary in a Coordinated Care program. For | ||||||
16 | purposes of this subsection, "Coordinated Care Participating | ||||||
17 | Hospital" means a hospital that meets one of the following | ||||||
18 | criteria: | ||||||
19 | (1) The hospital has entered into a contract to provide | ||||||
20 | hospital services to enrollees of the care coordination | ||||||
21 | program. | ||||||
22 | (2) The hospital has not been offered a contract by a | ||||||
23 | care coordination plan that pays at least as much as the | ||||||
24 | Department would pay, on a fee-for-service basis, not | ||||||
25 | including disproportionate share hospital adjustment | ||||||
26 | payments or any other supplemental adjustment or add-on |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | payment to the base fee-for-service rate. | ||||||
2 | (g) No later than August 1, 2013, the Department shall | ||||||
3 | issue a purchase of care solicitation for Accountable Care | ||||||
4 | Entities (ACE) to serve any children and parents or caretaker | ||||||
5 | relatives of children eligible for medical assistance under | ||||||
6 | this Article. An ACE may be a single corporate structure or a | ||||||
7 | network of providers organized through contractual | ||||||
8 | relationships with a single corporate entity. The solicitation | ||||||
9 | shall require that: | ||||||
10 | (1) An ACE operating in Cook County be capable of | ||||||
11 | serving at least 40,000 eligible individuals in that | ||||||
12 | county; an ACE operating in Lake, Kane, DuPage, or Will | ||||||
13 | Counties be capable of serving at least 20,000 eligible | ||||||
14 | individuals in those counties and an ACE operating in other | ||||||
15 | regions of the State be capable of serving at least 10,000 | ||||||
16 | eligible individuals in the region in which it operates. | ||||||
17 | During initial periods of mandatory enrollment, the | ||||||
18 | Department shall require its enrollment services | ||||||
19 | contractor to use a default assignment algorithm that | ||||||
20 | ensures if possible an ACE reaches the minimum enrollment | ||||||
21 | levels set forth in this paragraph. | ||||||
22 | (2) An ACE must include at a minimum the following | ||||||
23 | types of providers: primary care, specialty care, | ||||||
24 | hospitals, and behavioral healthcare. | ||||||
25 | (3) An ACE shall have a governance structure that | ||||||
26 | includes the major components of the health care delivery |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | system, including one representative from each of the | ||||||
2 | groups listed in paragraph (2). | ||||||
3 | (4) An ACE must be an integrated delivery system, | ||||||
4 | including a network able to provide the full range of | ||||||
5 | services needed by Medicaid beneficiaries and system | ||||||
6 | capacity to securely pass clinical information across | ||||||
7 | participating entities and to aggregate and analyze that | ||||||
8 | data in order to coordinate care. | ||||||
9 | (5) An ACE must be capable of providing both care | ||||||
10 | coordination and complex case management, as necessary, to | ||||||
11 | beneficiaries. To be responsive to the solicitation, a | ||||||
12 | potential ACE must outline its care coordination and | ||||||
13 | complex case management model and plan to reduce the cost | ||||||
14 | of care. | ||||||
15 | (6) In the first 18 months of operation, unless the ACE | ||||||
16 | selects a shorter period, an ACE shall be paid care | ||||||
17 | coordination fees on a per member per month basis that are | ||||||
18 | projected to be cost neutral to the State during the term | ||||||
19 | of their payment and, subject to federal approval, be | ||||||
20 | eligible to share in additional savings generated by their | ||||||
21 | care coordination. | ||||||
22 | (7) In months 19 through 36 of operation, unless the | ||||||
23 | ACE selects a shorter period, an ACE shall be paid on a | ||||||
24 | pre-paid capitation basis for all medical assistance | ||||||
25 | covered services, under contract terms similar to Managed | ||||||
26 | Care Organizations (MCO), with the Department sharing the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | risk through either stop-loss insurance for extremely high | ||||||
2 | cost individuals or corridors of shared risk based on the | ||||||
3 | overall cost of the total enrollment in the ACE. The ACE | ||||||
4 | shall be responsible for claims processing, encounter data | ||||||
5 | submission, utilization control, and quality assurance. | ||||||
6 | (8) In the fourth and subsequent years of operation, an | ||||||
7 | ACE shall convert to a Managed Care Community Network | ||||||
8 | (MCCN), as defined in this Article, or Health Maintenance | ||||||
9 | Organization pursuant to the Illinois Insurance Code, | ||||||
10 | accepting full-risk capitation payments. | ||||||
11 | The Department shall allow potential ACE entities 5 months | ||||||
12 | from the date of the posting of the solicitation to submit | ||||||
13 | proposals. After the solicitation is released, in addition to | ||||||
14 | the MCO rate development data available on the Department's | ||||||
15 | website, subject to federal and State confidentiality and | ||||||
16 | privacy laws and regulations, the Department shall provide 2 | ||||||
17 | years of de-identified summary service data on the targeted | ||||||
18 | population, split between children and adults, showing the | ||||||
19 | historical type and volume of services received and the cost of | ||||||
20 | those services to those potential bidders that sign a data use | ||||||
21 | agreement. The Department may add up to 2 non-state government | ||||||
22 | employees with expertise in creating integrated delivery | ||||||

10 | methodologies for reimbursement of nursing services as | ||||||
11 | provided under this Article shall no longer be applicable for | ||||||

15 | for services provided on or after January 1, 2014. | ||||||
16 | (d) The new nursing services reimbursement methodology | ||||||
17 | utilizing RUG-IV 48 grouper model, which shall be referred to | ||||||
18 | as the RUGs reimbursement system, taking effect January 1, | ||||||
19 | 2014, shall be based on the following: A new nursing services | ||||||
20 | reimbursement methodology utilizing RUGs IV 48 grouper model | ||||||
21 | shall be established and may include an Illinois-specific | ||||||
22 | default group, as needed. | ||||||
23 | (1) The methodology The new RUGs-based nursing | ||||||

25 | resident-driven, facility-specific, and cost-based. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (2) Costs shall be annually rebased and case mix index | ||||||
2 | quarterly updated . The nursing services methodology will | ||||||

16 | index maximization approach. | ||||||
17 | (5) The pool of funds available for distribution by | ||||||

24 | calculated by multiplying the number of Medicaid | ||||||
25 | residents in each nursing home as indicated in the MDS | ||||||
26 | data defined in paragraph (4) by 365. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (B) Each facility's nursing component per diem in | ||||||
2 | effect on July 1, 2012 shall be multiplied by | ||||||
3 | subsection (A). | ||||||
4 | (C) Thirteen million is added to the product of | ||||||
5 | subparagraph (A) and subparagraph (B) to adjust for the | ||||||
6 | exclusion of nursing homes defined in paragraph (5). | ||||||
7 | (2) For each nursing home with Medicaid residents as | ||||||
8 | indicated by the MDS data defined in paragraph (4), | ||||||
9 | weighted days adjusted for case mix and regional wage | ||||||
10 | adjustment shall be calculated. For each home this | ||||||

13 | subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1). | ||||||
14 | (B) The nursing home's regional wage adjustor | ||||||

20 | case weight for the RUG-IV 48 grouper model using | ||||||
21 | standard RUG-IV procedures for index maximization. | ||||||
22 | (D) The sum of the products calculated for each | ||||||
23 | nursing home in subparagraphs (A) through (C) above | ||||||
24 | shall be the base year case mix, rate adjusted weighted | ||||||
25 | days. | ||||||
26 | (3) The Statewide RUG-IV nursing base per diem rate on |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | January 1, 2014 shall be the quotient of the paragraph (1) | ||||||
2 | divided by the sum calculated under subparagraph (D) of | ||||||

11 | computations described in paragraphs (1) through (4) above | ||||||
12 | to establish the base rate. | ||||||
13 | (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, the | ||||||
14 | Department shall by rule develop a reimbursement methodology | ||||||
15 | reflective of the intensity of care and services requirements | ||||||
16 | of low need residents in the lowest RUG IV groupers and | ||||||
17 | corresponding regulations. Only that portion of the RUGs | ||||||
18 | Reimbursement System spending pool described in subsection | ||||||

20 | the methodology in this Section is developed may be diverted | ||||||
21 | for this purpose. The Department shall submit the rules no | ||||||

26 | in RUG-IV groups PA1, PA2, BA1, and BA2 shall be the blended |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | rate of the calculated RUG-IV nursing component per diem and | ||||||
2 | the nursing component per diem in effect on July 1, 2012. This | ||||||
3 | blended rate shall be applied only to nursing homes whose | ||||||
4 | resident population is greater than or equal to 70% of the | ||||||
5 | total residents served and whose RUG-IV nursing component per | ||||||
6 | diem rate is less than the nursing component per diem in effect | ||||||
7 | on July 1, 2012. This blended rate shall be in effect until the | ||||||
8 | reimbursement methodology is implemented or until July 1, 2019, | ||||||
9 | whichever is sooner. | ||||||

14 | the RUGs Reimbursement System applicable to facilities not | ||||||
15 | designated as "Institutions for the Mentally Diseased" by the | ||||||
16 | Department. | ||||||
17 | (e-2) For dates of services beginning January 1, 2014, the | ||||||
18 | RUG-IV nursing component per diem for a nursing home shall be | ||||||
19 | the product of the statewide RUG-IV nursing base per diem rate, | ||||||
20 | the facility average case mix index, and the regional wage | ||||||
21 | adjustor. Transition rates for services provided between | ||||||
22 | January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2014 shall be as follows: | ||||||
23 | (1) The transition RUG-IV per diem nursing rate for | ||||||
24 | nursing homes whose rate calculated in this subsection | ||||||
25 | (e-2) is greater than the nursing component rate in effect | ||||||
26 | July 1, 2012 shall be paid the sum of: |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (A) The nursing component rate in effect July 1, | ||||||
2 | 2012; plus | ||||||
3 | (B) The difference of the RUG-IV nursing component | ||||||
4 | per diem calculated for the current quarter minus the | ||||||
5 | nursing component rate in effect July 1, 2012 | ||||||
6 | multiplied by 0.88. | ||||||
7 | (2) The transition RUG-IV per diem nursing rate for | ||||||
8 | nursing homes whose rate calculated in this subsection | ||||||

11 | (A) The nursing component rate in effect July 1, | ||||||
12 | 2012; plus | ||||||
13 | (B) The difference of the RUG-IV nursing component | ||||||
14 | per diem calculated for the current quarter minus the | ||||||
15 | nursing component rate in effect July 1, 2012 | ||||||
16 | multiplied by 0.13. | ||||||
17 | (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, on | ||||||
18 | and after July 1, 2012, reimbursement rates associated with the | ||||||
19 | nursing or support components of the current nursing facility | ||||||
20 | rate methodology shall not increase beyond the level effective | ||||||
21 | May 1, 2011 until a new reimbursement system based on the RUGs | ||||||
22 | IV 48 grouper model has been fully operationalized. | ||||||
23 | (g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, on | ||||||
24 | and after July 1, 2012, for facilities not designated by the | ||||||
25 | Department of Healthcare and Family Services as "Institutions | ||||||
26 | for Mental Disease", rates effective May 1, 2011 shall be |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | adjusted as follows: | ||||||

4 | Health
Rehabilitation Act of 2013 for community-based | ||||||
5 | providers to

7 | (2) crisis stabilization; and | ||||||
8 | (3) transitional living. | ||||||
9 | These comparable programs shall operate under the
| ||||||
10 | regulations that may currently exist for such programs, or, if
| ||||||
11 | no such regulations are in existence, regulations shall be
| ||||||
12 | created. The comparable programs shall be provided through a
| ||||||
13 | managed care entity, a coordinated care entity, or an
| ||||||
14 | accountable care entity. The Department shall work in concert
| ||||||
15 | with any managed care entity, care coordination entity, or
| ||||||
16 | accountable care entity to gather the data necessary to report
| ||||||
17 | and monitor the progress of the services offered under this
| ||||||
18 | Section. The services to be provided under this Section shall
| ||||||
19 | be subject to a specific appropriation of the General Assembly
| ||||||
20 | for the specific purposes of this Section. | ||||||
21 | The Department shall adopt any emergency rules necessary to

| |||||||
1 | (305 ILCS 5/5-5.4h new) | ||||||

| ||||||
17 | ARTICLE 12. | ||||||
18 | Section 12-1. Short title. This Article 12 may be referred | ||||||
19 | to as the Resident First Act.
| ||||||
20 | Section 12-5. Purpose. The purpose of this Article is to | ||||||
21 | reprioritize the State's oversight of nursing homes to focus on | ||||||
22 | the needs of the residents first. As unfunded mandates have | ||||||
23 | increased, the State also reduced or eliminated its financial |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | support for services nursing home residents need. In doing so, | ||||||
2 | the State turned its back on frail elderly citizens for whom | ||||||
3 | nursing home care is not a luxury but a necessity.
| ||||||
4 | Section 12-10. Findings. The General Assembly finds the | ||||||
5 | following: | ||||||
6 | (1) The needs of residents must always take precedence.
| ||||||
7 | (2) Medicaid eligibility delays adversely impact | ||||||
8 | quality.
| ||||||
9 | (3) Payment delays further compound quality-of-care | ||||||
10 | issues.
| ||||||
11 | (4) Nursing homes are viable members of our | ||||||
12 | communities. | ||||||
13 | (5)
When a nursing home closes, residents lose touch | ||||||
14 | with their families, jobs are lost, and the local economy | ||||||
15 | suffers. | ||||||
16 | (6) Increasing the number of State employees dedicated | ||||||
17 | to Medicaid long term care determinations and updating the | ||||||
18 | State's out-of-date data processing systems would | ||||||
19 | positively impact the excessive eligibility determination | ||||||
20 | delays experienced by nursing home residents.
| ||||||
21 | Section 12-15. The Nursing Home Care Act is amended by | ||||||
22 | changing Sections 2-202, 3-212, 3-301, and 3-305 as follows:
| ||||||
23 | (210 ILCS 45/2-202) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 4152-202)
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Sec. 2-202. (a) Before a person is admitted to a facility, | ||||||
2 | or at the
expiration of the period of previous contract, or | ||||||
3 | when the source of
payment for the resident's care changes from | ||||||
4 | private to public funds or
from public to private funds, a | ||||||
5 | written contract shall be executed between
a licensee and the | ||||||
6 | following in order of priority:
| ||||||
7 | (1) the person, or if the person is a minor, his parent | ||||||
8 | or guardian; or
| ||||||
9 | (2) the person's guardian, if any, or agent, if any, as | ||||||
10 | defined in
Section 2-3 of the Illinois Power of Attorney | ||||||
11 | Act; or
| ||||||
12 | (3) a member of the person's immediate family.
| ||||||
13 | An adult person shall be presumed to have the capacity to | ||||||
14 | contract for
admission to a long term care facility unless he | ||||||
15 | has been adjudicated a
"disabled person" within the meaning of | ||||||
16 | Section 11a-2 of the Probate Act
of 1975, or unless a petition | ||||||
17 | for such an adjudication is pending in a
circuit court of | ||||||
18 | Illinois.
| ||||||
19 | If there is no guardian, agent or member of the person's | ||||||
20 | immediate family
available, able or willing to execute the | ||||||
21 | contract required by this Section
and a physician determines | ||||||
22 | that a person is so disabled as to be unable
to consent to | ||||||
23 | placement in a facility, or if a person has already been found
| ||||||
24 | to be a "disabled person", but no order has been entered | ||||||
25 | allowing residential
placement of the person, that person may | ||||||
26 | be admitted to a facility before
the execution of a contract |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | required by this Section; provided that a petition
for | ||||||
2 | guardianship or for modification of guardianship is filed | ||||||
3 | within 15
days of the person's admission to a facility, and | ||||||
4 | provided further that
such a contract is executed within 10 | ||||||
5 | days of the disposition of the petition.
| ||||||
6 | No adult shall be admitted to a facility if he objects, | ||||||
7 | orally or in writing,
to such admission, except as otherwise | ||||||
8 | provided in Chapters III
and IV of the Mental Health and | ||||||
9 | Developmental Disabilities Code or Section
11a-14.1 of the | ||||||
10 | Probate Act of 1975.
| ||||||
11 | If a person has not executed a contract as required by this | ||||||
12 | Section, then
such a contract shall be executed on or before | ||||||
13 | July 1, 1981, or within 10
days after the disposition of a | ||||||
14 | petition for guardianship or modification
of guardianship that | ||||||
15 | was filed prior to July 1, 1981, whichever is later.
| ||||||
16 | Before a licensee enters a contract under this Section, it | ||||||
17 | shall
provide the prospective resident and his or her guardian, | ||||||
18 | if any, with written
notice of the licensee's policy regarding | ||||||
19 | discharge of a resident whose
private funds for payment of care | ||||||
20 | are exhausted.
| ||||||
21 | Before a licensee enters into a contract under this | ||||||
22 | Section, it shall provide the resident or prospective resident | ||||||
23 | and his or her guardian, if any, with a copy of the licensee's | ||||||
24 | policy regarding the assignment of Social Security | ||||||
25 | representative payee status as a condition of the contract when | ||||||
26 | the resident's or prospective resident's care is being funded |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | under Title XIX of the Social Security Act and Article V of the | ||||||
2 | Illinois Public Aid Code. | ||||||
3 | (b) A resident shall not be discharged or transferred at | ||||||
4 | the expiration
of the term of a contract, except as provided in | ||||||
5 | Sections 3-401 through
3-423.
| ||||||
6 | (c) At the time of the resident's admission to the | ||||||
7 | facility, a copy of
the contract shall be given to the | ||||||
8 | resident, his guardian, if any, and any
other person who | ||||||
9 | executed the contract.
| ||||||
10 | (d) A copy of the contract for a resident who is supported | ||||||
11 | by
nonpublic funds other than the resident's own funds shall be | ||||||
12 | made
available to the person providing the funds for the | ||||||
13 | resident's support.
| ||||||
14 | (e) The original or a copy of the contract shall be | ||||||
15 | maintained in the
facility and be made available upon request | ||||||
16 | to representatives of the
Department and the Department of | ||||||
17 | Healthcare and Family Services.
| ||||||
18 | (f) The contract shall be written in clear and unambiguous | ||||||
19 | language
and shall be printed in not less than 12-point type. | ||||||
20 | The general form
of the contract shall be prescribed by the | ||||||
21 | Department.
| ||||||
22 | (g) The contract shall specify:
| ||||||
23 | (1) the term of the contract;
| ||||||
24 | (2) the services to be provided under the contract and | ||||||
25 | the charges
for the services;
| ||||||
26 | (3) the services that may be provided to supplement the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | contract and
the charges for the services;
| ||||||
2 | (4) the sources liable for payments due under the | ||||||
3 | contract;
| ||||||
4 | (5) the amount of deposit paid; and
| ||||||
5 | (6) the rights, duties and obligations of the resident, | ||||||
6 | except that
the specification of a resident's rights may be | ||||||
7 | furnished on a separate
document which complies with the | ||||||
8 | requirements of Section 2-211.
| ||||||
9 | (h) The contract shall designate the name of the resident's
| ||||||
10 | representative, if any. The resident shall provide the facility | ||||||
11 | with a copy
of the written agreement between the resident and | ||||||
12 | the resident's representative
which authorizes the resident's | ||||||
13 | representative to inspect and copy the
resident's records and | ||||||
14 | authorizes the resident's representative to execute
the | ||||||
15 | contract on behalf of the resident required by this Section.
| ||||||
16 | (i) The contract shall provide that if the resident is
| ||||||
17 | compelled by a change in physical or mental health to leave the
| ||||||
18 | facility, the contract and all obligations under it shall | ||||||
19 | terminate on 7
days notice. No prior notice of termination of | ||||||
20 | the contract shall be
required, however, in the case of a | ||||||
21 | resident's death. The contract shall also provide
that in all | ||||||
22 | other situations, a
resident may terminate the contract and all | ||||||
23 | obligations under it with 30
days notice. All charges shall be | ||||||
24 | prorated as of the date on which the
contract terminates, and, | ||||||
25 | if any payments have been made in advance, the
excess shall be | ||||||
26 | refunded to the resident. This provision shall not apply
to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | life-care contracts through which a facility agrees to provide
| ||||||
2 | maintenance and care for a resident throughout the remainder of | ||||||
3 | his life
nor to continuing-care contracts through which a | ||||||
4 | facility agrees to
supplement all available forms of financial | ||||||
5 | support in providing
maintenance and care for a resident | ||||||
6 | throughout the remainder of his life.
| ||||||
7 | (j) In addition to all other contract specifications | ||||||
8 | contained in this
Section admission contracts shall also | ||||||
9 | specify:
| ||||||
10 | (1) whether the facility accepts Medicaid clients;
| ||||||
11 | (2) whether the facility requires a deposit of the | ||||||
12 | resident or his
family prior to the establishment of | ||||||
13 | Medicaid eligibility;
| ||||||
14 | (3) in the event that a deposit is required, a clear | ||||||
15 | and concise
statement of the procedure to be followed for | ||||||
16 | the return of such deposit to
the resident or the | ||||||
17 | appropriate family member or guardian of the person;
| ||||||
18 | (4) that all deposits made to a facility by a resident, | ||||||
19 | or on behalf of
a resident, shall be returned by the | ||||||
20 | facility within 30 days of the
establishment of Medicaid | ||||||
21 | eligibility, unless such deposits must be drawn
upon or | ||||||
22 | encumbered in accordance with Medicaid eligibility | ||||||
23 | requirements
established by the Department of Healthcare | ||||||
24 | and Family Services.
| ||||||
25 | (k) It shall be a business offense for a facility to | ||||||
26 | knowingly and
intentionally both retain a resident's deposit |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | and accept Medicaid
payments on behalf of that resident.

| ||||||
4 | Sec. 3-212. Inspection.
| ||||||
5 | (a) The Department, whenever it deems necessary in
| ||||||
6 | accordance with subsection (b), shall inspect, survey and | ||||||
7 | evaluate every
facility to determine compliance with | ||||||
8 | applicable licensure requirements and
standards. Submission of | ||||||
9 | a facility's current Consumer Choice Information Report | ||||||
10 | required by Section 2-214 shall be verified at time of | ||||||
11 | inspection. An inspection should occur within 120 days prior
to | ||||||
12 | license renewal. The Department may periodically visit a | ||||||
13 | facility for the
purpose of consultation. An inspection, | ||||||
14 | survey, or evaluation, other than
an inspection of financial | ||||||
15 | records, shall be conducted without prior notice
to the | ||||||
16 | facility. A visit for the sole purpose of consultation may be
| ||||||
17 | announced.
The Department shall provide training to surveyors | ||||||
18 | about the appropriate
assessment, care planning, and care of | ||||||
19 | persons with mental illness (other than
Alzheimer's disease or | ||||||
20 | related disorders) to enable its surveyors to
determine whether | ||||||
21 | a facility is complying with State and federal requirements
| ||||||
22 | about the assessment, care planning, and care of those persons.
| ||||||
23 | (a-1) An employee of a State or unit of local government | ||||||
24 | agency
charged with inspecting, surveying, and evaluating | ||||||
25 | facilities who directly
or indirectly gives prior notice of an |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | inspection, survey, or evaluation,
other than an inspection of | ||||||
2 | financial records, to a facility or to an
employee of a | ||||||
3 | facility is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
| ||||||
4 | An inspector or an employee of the Department who | ||||||
5 | intentionally prenotifies
a facility,
orally or in writing, of | ||||||
6 | a pending complaint investigation or inspection shall
be guilty | ||||||
7 | of a Class A misdemeanor.
Superiors of persons who have | ||||||
8 | prenotified a facility shall be subject to the
same penalties, | ||||||
9 | if they have knowingly allowed the prenotification. A person
| ||||||
10 | found guilty of prenotifying a facility shall be subject to | ||||||
11 | disciplinary action
by his or her employer.
| ||||||
12 | If the Department has a good faith belief, based upon | ||||||
13 | information that comes
to its attention, that a violation of | ||||||
14 | this subsection has occurred, it must
file a complaint with the | ||||||
15 | Attorney General or the State's Attorney in the
county where | ||||||
16 | the violation
took place within 30 days after discovery of the | ||||||
17 | information.
| ||||||
18 | (a-2) An employee of a State or unit of local government | ||||||
19 | agency charged with
inspecting, surveying, or evaluating | ||||||
20 | facilities who willfully profits from
violating the | ||||||
21 | confidentiality of the inspection, survey, or evaluation
| ||||||
22 | process shall be guilty of a Class 4 felony and that conduct | ||||||
23 | shall be deemed
unprofessional conduct that may subject a | ||||||
24 | person to loss of his or her
professional license. An action to | ||||||
25 | prosecute a person for violating this
subsection (a-2) may be | ||||||
26 | brought by either the Attorney General or the State's
Attorney |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | in the county where the violation took place.
| ||||||
2 | (b) In determining whether to make more than the required | ||||||
3 | number of
unannounced inspections, surveys and evaluations of a | ||||||
4 | facility the
Department shall consider one or more of the | ||||||
5 | following: previous inspection
reports; the facility's history | ||||||
6 | of compliance with standards, rules and
regulations | ||||||
7 | promulgated under this Act and correction of violations,
| ||||||
8 | penalties or other enforcement actions; the number and severity | ||||||
9 | of
complaints received about the facility; any allegations of | ||||||
10 | resident abuse
or neglect; weather conditions; health | ||||||
11 | emergencies; other reasonable belief
that deficiencies exist.
| ||||||
12 | (b-1) The Department shall not be required to determine | ||||||
13 | whether a
facility certified to participate in the Medicare | ||||||
14 | program under Title XVIII of
the Social Security Act, or the | ||||||
15 | Medicaid program under Title XIX of the Social
Security Act, | ||||||
16 | and which the Department determines by inspection under this
| ||||||
17 | Section or under Section 3-702 of this Act to be in compliance | ||||||
18 | with the
certification requirements of Title XVIII or XIX, is | ||||||
19 | in compliance with any
requirement of this Act that is less | ||||||
20 | stringent than or duplicates a federal
certification | ||||||
21 | requirement. In accordance with subsection (a) of this Section
| ||||||
22 | or subsection (d) of Section 3-702, the Department shall | ||||||
23 | determine whether a
certified facility is in
compliance with | ||||||
24 | requirements of this Act that exceed federal certification
| ||||||
25 | requirements. If a certified facility is found to be out of | ||||||
26 | compliance with
federal certification requirements, the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | results of an inspection conducted
pursuant to Title XVIII or | ||||||
2 | XIX of the Social Security Act may be used as the
basis for | ||||||
3 | enforcement remedies authorized and commenced, with the | ||||||
4 | Department's discretion to evaluate whether penalties are | ||||||
5 | warranted, under this Act.
Enforcement of this Act against a | ||||||
6 | certified facility shall be commenced
pursuant to the | ||||||
7 | requirements of this Act, unless enforcement remedies sought
| ||||||
8 | pursuant to Title XVIII or XIX of the Social Security Act | ||||||
9 | exceed those
authorized by this Act. As used in this | ||||||
10 | subsection, "enforcement remedy"
means a sanction for | ||||||
11 | violating a federal certification requirement or this
Act.
| ||||||
12 | (c) Upon completion of each inspection, survey and | ||||||
13 | evaluation, the
appropriate Department personnel who conducted | ||||||
14 | the inspection, survey or
evaluation shall submit a copy of | ||||||
15 | their report to the licensee upon exiting
the facility, and | ||||||
16 | shall submit the actual report to the appropriate
regional | ||||||
17 | office of the Department. Such report and any recommendations | ||||||
18 | for
action by the Department under this Act shall be | ||||||
19 | transmitted to the
appropriate offices of the associate | ||||||
20 | director of the Department, together
with related comments or | ||||||
21 | documentation provided by the licensee which may
refute | ||||||
22 | findings in the report, which explain extenuating | ||||||
23 | circumstances that
the facility could not reasonably have | ||||||
24 | prevented, or which indicate methods
and timetables for | ||||||
25 | correction of deficiencies described in the report.
Without | ||||||
26 | affecting the application of subsection (a) of Section 3-303, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | any
documentation or comments of the licensee shall be provided | ||||||
2 | within 10
days of receipt of the copy of the report. Such | ||||||
3 | report shall recommend to
the Director appropriate action under | ||||||
4 | this Act with respect to findings
against a facility. The | ||||||
5 | Director shall then determine whether the report's
findings | ||||||
6 | constitute a violation or violations of which the facility must | ||||||
7 | be
given notice. Such determination shall be based upon the | ||||||
8 | severity of the
finding, the danger posed to resident health | ||||||
9 | and safety, the comments and
documentation provided by the | ||||||
10 | facility, the diligence and efforts to
correct deficiencies, | ||||||
11 | correction of the reported deficiencies, the
frequency and | ||||||
12 | duration of similar findings in previous reports and the
| ||||||
13 | facility's general inspection history. Violations shall be | ||||||
14 | determined
under this subsection no later than 75 90 days after | ||||||
15 | completion of each
inspection, survey and evaluation.
| ||||||
16 | (d) The Department shall maintain all inspection, survey | ||||||
17 | and evaluation
reports for at least 5 years in a manner | ||||||
18 | accessible to and understandable
by the public.
| ||||||
19 | (e) Revisit surveys. The Department shall conduct a revisit | ||||||
20 | to its licensure and certification surveys, consistent with | ||||||
21 | federal regulations and guidelines. | ||||||
22 | (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, the | ||||||
23 | Department shall, no later than 180 days after the effective | ||||||
24 | date of this amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly, | ||||||
25 | implement a single survey process that encompasses federal | ||||||
26 | certification and State licensure requirements, health and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | life safety requirements, and an enhanced complaint | ||||||
2 | investigation initiative. | ||||||
3 | (1) To meet the requirement of a single survey process, | ||||||
4 | the portions of the health and life safety survey | ||||||
5 | associated with federal certification and State licensure | ||||||
6 | surveys must be started within 7 working days of each | ||||||
7 | other. Nothing in this paragraph (1) of subsection (f) of | ||||||
8 | this Section applies to a complaint investigation. | ||||||
9 | (2) The enhanced complaint and incident report | ||||||
10 | investigation initiative shall permit the facility to | ||||||
11 | challenge the amount of the fine due to the excessive | ||||||
12 | length of the investigation which results in one or more of | ||||||
13 | the following conditions: | ||||||
14 | (A) prohibits the timely development and | ||||||
15 | implementation of a plan of correction; | ||||||
16 | (B) creates undue financial hardship impacting the | ||||||
17 | quality of care delivered to the resident; | ||||||
18 | (C) delays initiation of corrective training; and | ||||||
19 | (D) negatively impacts quality assurance and | ||||||
20 | patient improvement standards. | ||||||
21 | This paragraph (2) does not apply to complaint | ||||||
22 | investigations exited within 14 working days or a situation | ||||||
23 | that triggers an extended survey. | ||||||

in violation of this Act or of any rule | ||||||
6 | promulgated thereunder, he shall
serve a notice of violation | ||||||
7 | upon the licensee within 10 days thereafter.
Each notice of | ||||||
8 | violation shall be prepared in
writing and shall specify the | ||||||
9 | nature of the violation, and the statutory
provision or rule | ||||||
10 | alleged to have been violated. The notice shall
inform the | ||||||
11 | licensee of any action the Department may take under the Act,

12 | including the requirement of a facility plan of correction | ||||||
13 | under Section
3-303; placement of the facility on a list | ||||||

19 | (b) The Department shall perform an audit of all Type "AA" | ||||||
20 | or Type "A" violations between January 1, 2014 and January 1, | ||||||
21 | 2015. The purpose of the audit is to determine the consistency | ||||||
22 | of assigning Type "AA" and Type "A" violations. The audit shall | ||||||
23 | be completed and a report submitted to the Long Term Care | ||||||
24 | Advisory Committee by April 1, 2015 for comment. The report | ||||||
25 | shall include recommendations for increasing the consistency | ||||||
26 | of assignment of violations. The Committee may offer additional |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | recommendations to be incorporated into the report. The final | ||||||
2 | report shall be filed with the General Assembly by June 30, | ||||||

The license of a facility which is in violation | ||||||
7 | of this Act
or any rule adopted thereunder may be subject to | ||||||
8 | the penalties or fines
levied by the Department as specified in | ||||||
9 | this Section.
| ||||||
10 | (1) A licensee who commits a Type "AA" violation as defined | ||||||
11 | in Section 1-128.5
is automatically issued a conditional | ||||||
12 | license for a period of 6 months
to coincide with an acceptable | ||||||
13 | plan of correction and assessed a fine up to $25,000 per | ||||||
14 | violation.
| ||||||
15 | (1.5) A licensee who commits a Type "A" violation as | ||||||
16 | defined in Section 1-129 is automatically issued a conditional | ||||||
17 | license for a period of 6 months to coincide with an acceptable | ||||||
18 | plan of correction and assessed a fine of up to $12,500 per | ||||||
19 | violation. | ||||||
20 | (2) A licensee who commits a Type "B" violation as defined | ||||||
21 | in Section 1-130 shall be assessed a fine of up to $1,100 per | ||||||
22 | violation.
| ||||||
23 | (2.5) A licensee who commits 10 or more Type "C" | ||||||
24 | violations, as defined in Section 1-132, in a single survey | ||||||
25 | shall be assessed a fine of up to $250 per violation. A |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | licensee who commits one or more Type "C" violations with a | ||||||
2 | high risk designation, as defined by rule, shall be assessed a | ||||||
3 | fine of up to $500 per violation. | ||||||
4 | (3) A licensee who commits a Type "AA" or Type "A" | ||||||
5 | violation as defined in Section 1-128.5 or
1-129 which | ||||||
6 | continues beyond the time specified in paragraph (a) of Section
| ||||||
7 | 3-303 which is cited as a repeat violation shall have its | ||||||
8 | license revoked
and shall be assessed a fine of 3 times the | ||||||
9 | fine computed per resident per
day under subsection (1).
| ||||||
10 | (4) A licensee who fails to satisfactorily comply with an | ||||||
11 | accepted
plan of correction for a Type "B" violation or an | ||||||
12 | administrative warning
issued pursuant to Sections 3-401 | ||||||
13 | through 3-413 or the rules promulgated
thereunder shall be | ||||||
14 | automatically issued a conditional license for a period
of not | ||||||
15 | less than 6 months. A second or subsequent acceptable plan of
| ||||||
16 | correction shall be filed. A fine shall be assessed in | ||||||
17 | accordance with
subsection (2) when cited for the repeat | ||||||
18 | violation. This fine shall be
computed for all days of the | ||||||
19 | violation, including the duration of the first
plan of | ||||||
20 | correction compliance time.
| ||||||
21 | (5) For the purpose of computing a penalty under | ||||||
22 | subsections (2) through
(4), the number of residents per day | ||||||
23 | shall be based on the average number
of residents in the | ||||||
24 | facility during the 30 days preceding the discovery
of the | ||||||
25 | violation.
| ||||||
26 | (6) When the Department finds that a provision of Article |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | II has been
violated with regard to a particular resident, the | ||||||
2 | Department shall issue
an order requiring the facility to | ||||||
3 | reimburse the resident for injuries
incurred, or $100, | ||||||
4 | whichever is greater. In the case of a violation
involving any | ||||||
5 | action other than theft of money belonging to a resident,
| ||||||
6 | reimbursement shall be ordered only if a provision of Article | ||||||
7 | II has been
violated with regard to that or any other resident | ||||||
8 | of the facility within
the 2 years immediately preceding the | ||||||
9 | violation in question.
| ||||||
10 | (7) For purposes of assessing fines under this Section, a | ||||||
11 | repeat
violation shall be a violation which has been cited | ||||||
12 | during one inspection
of the facility for which an accepted | ||||||
13 | plan of correction was not complied
with or a new citation of | ||||||
14 | the same rule if the licensee is not substantially addressing | ||||||
15 | the issue routinely
throughout the facility.
| ||||||
16 | (7.5) If an occurrence results in more than one type of | ||||||
17 | violation as defined in this Act (that is, a Type "AA", Type | ||||||
18 | "A", Type "B", or Type "C" violation), the Department shall | ||||||
19 | assess only one fine, which shall not exceed maximum fine that | ||||||
20 | may be assessed for that occurrence is the maximum fine that | ||||||
21 | may be assessed for the most serious type of violation charged. | ||||||
22 | For purposes of the preceding sentence, a Type "AA" violation | ||||||
23 | is the most serious type of violation that may be charged, | ||||||
24 | followed by a Type "A", Type "B", or Type "C" violation, in | ||||||
25 | that order. | ||||||
26 | (8) The minimum and maximum fines that may be assessed |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | pursuant to this Section shall be twice those otherwise | ||||||
2 | specified for any facility that willfully makes a misstatement | ||||||
3 | of fact to the Department, or willfully fails to make a | ||||||
4 | required notification to the Department, if that misstatement | ||||||
5 | or failure delays the start of a surveyor or impedes a survey. | ||||||
6 | (9) High risk designation. If the Department finds that a | ||||||
7 | facility has violated a provision of the Illinois | ||||||
8 | Administrative Code that has a high risk designation, or that a | ||||||
9 | facility has violated the same provision of the Illinois | ||||||
10 | Administrative Code 3 or more times in the previous 12 months, | ||||||
11 | the Department may assess a fine of up to 2 times the maximum | ||||||
12 | fine otherwise allowed. | ||||||
13 | (10) If a licensee has paid a civil monetary penalty | ||||||
14 | imposed pursuant to the Medicare and Medicaid Certification | ||||||
15 | Program for the equivalent federal violation giving rise to a | ||||||
16 | fine under this Section, the Department shall offset the fine | ||||||
17 | by the amount of the civil monetary penalty. The offset may not | ||||||
18 | reduce the fine by more than 75% of the original fine, however. | ||||||
19 | (Source: P.A. 96-1372, eff. 7-29-10.)
| ||||||
20 | Section 12-20. The Illinois Public Aid Code is amended by | ||||||
21 | changing Section 5-5 and by adding Section 11-5.4 as follows:

14 | dentistry or dental surgery; for purposes of this item (10), | ||||||
15 | "dental services" means diagnostic, preventive, or corrective | ||||||
16 | procedures provided by or under the supervision of a dentist in | ||||||
17 | the practice of his or her profession; (11) physical therapy | ||||||
18 | and related

25 | co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders is | ||||||
26 | determined using a uniform screening, assessment, and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | evaluation process inclusive of criteria, for children and | ||||||
2 | adults; for purposes of this item (13), a uniform screening, | ||||||
3 | assessment, and evaluation process refers to a process that | ||||||
4 | includes an appropriate evaluation and, as warranted, a | ||||||
5 | referral; "uniform" does not mean the use of a singular | ||||||
6 | instrument, tool, or process that all must utilize; (14)
| ||||||
7 | transportation and such other expenses as may be necessary; | ||||||
8 | (15) medical
treatment of sexual assault survivors, as defined | ||||||
9 | in
Section 1a of the Sexual Assault Survivors Emergency | ||||||
10 | Treatment Act, for
injuries sustained as a result of the sexual | ||||||

examinations and laboratory tests to | ||||||
12 | discover evidence which may be used in
criminal proceedings | ||||||
13 | arising from the sexual assault; (16) the
diagnosis and | ||||||
14 | treatment of sickle cell anemia; and (17)
any other medical | ||||||
15 | care, and any other type of remedial care recognized
under the | ||||||
16 | laws of this State, but not including abortions, or induced
| ||||||
17 | miscarriages or premature births, unless, in the opinion of a | ||||||
18 | physician,
such procedures are necessary for the preservation | ||||||
19 | of the life of the
woman seeking such treatment, or except an | ||||||
20 | induced premature birth
intended to produce a live viable child | ||||||
21 | and such procedure is necessary
for the health of the mother or | ||||||
22 | her unborn child. The Illinois Department,
by rule, shall | ||||||
23 | prohibit any physician from providing medical assistance
to | ||||||
24 | anyone eligible therefor under this Code where such physician | ||||||
25 | has been
found guilty of performing an abortion procedure in a | ||||||
26 | wilful and wanton
manner upon a woman who was not pregnant at |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the time such abortion
procedure was performed. The term "any | ||||||
2 | other type of remedial care" shall
include nursing care and | ||||||
3 | nursing home service for persons who rely on
treatment by | ||||||
4 | spiritual means alone through prayer for healing.
| ||||||
5 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, a | ||||||
6 | comprehensive
tobacco use cessation program that includes | ||||||
7 | purchasing prescription drugs or
prescription medical devices | ||||||
8 | approved by the Food and Drug Administration shall
be covered | ||||||
9 | under the medical assistance
program under this Article for | ||||||
10 | persons who are otherwise eligible for
assistance under this | ||||||
11 | Article.
| ||||||
12 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, the | ||||||
13 | Illinois
Department may not require, as a condition of payment | ||||||
14 | for any laboratory
test authorized under this Article, that a | ||||||
15 | physician's handwritten signature
appear on the laboratory | ||||||
16 | test order form. The Illinois Department may,
however, impose | ||||||
17 | other appropriate requirements regarding laboratory test
order | ||||||
18 | documentation.
| ||||||
19 | On and after July 1, 2012, the Department of Healthcare and | ||||||
20 | Family Services may provide the following services to
persons
| ||||||
21 | eligible for assistance under this Article who are | ||||||
22 | participating in
education, training or employment programs | ||||||
23 | operated by the Department of Human
Services as successor to | ||||||
24 | the Department of Public Aid:
| ||||||
25 | (1) dental services provided by or under the | ||||||
26 | supervision of a dentist; and
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (2) eyeglasses prescribed by a physician skilled in the | ||||||
2 | diseases of the
eye, or by an optometrist, whichever the | ||||||
3 | person may select.
| ||||||
4 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code and | ||||||
5 | subject to federal approval, the Department may adopt rules to | ||||||
6 | allow a dentist who is volunteering his or her service at no | ||||||
7 | cost to render dental services through an enrolled | ||||||
8 | not-for-profit health clinic without the dentist personally | ||||||
9 | enrolling as a participating provider in the medical assistance | ||||||
10 | program. A not-for-profit health clinic shall include a public | ||||||
11 | health clinic or Federally Qualified Health Center or other | ||||||
12 | enrolled provider, as determined by the Department, through | ||||||
13 | which dental services covered under this Section are performed. | ||||||
14 | The Department shall establish a process for payment of claims | ||||||
15 | for reimbursement for covered dental services rendered under | ||||||
16 | this provision. | ||||||
17 | The Illinois Department, by rule, may distinguish and | ||||||
18 | classify the
medical services to be provided only in accordance | ||||||
19 | with the classes of
persons designated in Section 5-2.
| ||||||
20 | The Department of Healthcare and Family Services must | ||||||
21 | provide coverage and reimbursement for amino acid-based | ||||||
22 | elemental formulas, regardless of delivery method, for the | ||||||
23 | diagnosis and treatment of (i) eosinophilic disorders and (ii) | ||||||
24 | short bowel syndrome when the prescribing physician has issued | ||||||
25 | a written order stating that the amino acid-based elemental | ||||||
26 | formula is medically necessary.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The Illinois Department shall authorize the provision of, | ||||||
2 | and shall
authorize payment for, screening by low-dose | ||||||
3 | mammography for the presence of
occult breast cancer for women | ||||||
4 | 35 years of age or older who are eligible
for medical | ||||||
5 | assistance under this Article, as follows: | ||||||
6 | (A) A baseline
mammogram for women 35 to 39 years of | ||||||
7 | age.
| ||||||
8 | (B) An annual mammogram for women 40 years of age or | ||||||
9 | older. | ||||||
10 | (C) A mammogram at the age and intervals considered | ||||||
11 | medically necessary by the woman's health care provider for | ||||||
12 | women under 40 years of age and having a family history of | ||||||
13 | breast cancer, prior personal history of breast cancer, | ||||||
14 | positive genetic testing, or other risk factors. | ||||||
15 | (D) A comprehensive ultrasound screening of an entire | ||||||
16 | breast or breasts if a mammogram demonstrates | ||||||
17 | heterogeneous or dense breast tissue, when medically | ||||||
18 | necessary as determined by a physician licensed to practice | ||||||
19 | medicine in all of its branches. | ||||||
20 | All screenings
shall
include a physical breast exam, | ||||||
21 | instruction on self-examination and
information regarding the | ||||||
22 | frequency of self-examination and its value as a
preventative | ||||||
23 | tool. For purposes of this Section, "low-dose mammography" | ||||||
24 | means
the x-ray examination of the breast using equipment | ||||||
25 | dedicated specifically
for mammography, including the x-ray | ||||||
26 | tube, filter, compression device,
and image receptor, with an |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | average radiation exposure delivery
of less than one rad per | ||||||
2 | breast for 2 views of an average size breast.
The term also | ||||||
3 | includes digital mammography.
| ||||||
4 | On and after January 1, 2012, providers participating in a | ||||||
5 | quality improvement program approved by the Department shall be | ||||||
6 | reimbursed for screening and diagnostic mammography at the same | ||||||
7 | rate as the Medicare program's rates, including the increased | ||||||
8 | reimbursement for digital mammography. | ||||||
9 | The Department shall convene an expert panel including | ||||||
10 | representatives of hospitals, free-standing mammography | ||||||
11 | facilities, and doctors, including radiologists, to establish | ||||||
12 | quality standards. | ||||||
13 | Subject to federal approval, the Department shall | ||||||
14 | establish a rate methodology for mammography at federally | ||||||
15 | qualified health centers and other encounter-rate clinics. | ||||||
16 | These clinics or centers may also collaborate with other | ||||||
17 | hospital-based mammography facilities. | ||||||
18 | The Department shall establish a methodology to remind | ||||||
19 | women who are age-appropriate for screening mammography, but | ||||||
20 | who have not received a mammogram within the previous 18 | ||||||
21 | months, of the importance and benefit of screening mammography. | ||||||
22 | The Department shall establish a performance goal for | ||||||
23 | primary care providers with respect to their female patients | ||||||
24 | over age 40 receiving an annual mammogram. This performance | ||||||
25 | goal shall be used to provide additional reimbursement in the | ||||||
26 | form of a quality performance bonus to primary care providers |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | who meet that goal. | ||||||
2 | The Department shall devise a means of case-managing or | ||||||
3 | patient navigation for beneficiaries diagnosed with breast | ||||||
4 | cancer. This program shall initially operate as a pilot program | ||||||
5 | in areas of the State with the highest incidence of mortality | ||||||
6 | related to breast cancer. At least one pilot program site shall | ||||||
7 | be in the metropolitan Chicago area and at least one site shall | ||||||
8 | be outside the metropolitan Chicago area. An evaluation of the | ||||||
9 | pilot program shall be carried out measuring health outcomes | ||||||
10 | and cost of care for those served by the pilot program compared | ||||||
11 | to similarly situated patients who are not served by the pilot | ||||||
12 | program. | ||||||
13 | Any medical or health care provider shall immediately | ||||||
14 | recommend, to
any pregnant woman who is being provided prenatal | ||||||
15 | services and is suspected
of drug abuse or is addicted as | ||||||
16 | defined in the Alcoholism and Other Drug Abuse
and Dependency | ||||||
17 | Act, referral to a local substance abuse treatment provider
| ||||||
18 | licensed by the Department of Human Services or to a licensed
| ||||||
19 | hospital which provides substance abuse treatment services. | ||||||
20 | The Department of Healthcare and Family Services
shall assure | ||||||
21 | coverage for the cost of treatment of the drug abuse or
| ||||||
22 | addiction for pregnant recipients in accordance with the | ||||||
23 | Illinois Medicaid
Program in conjunction with the Department of | ||||||
24 | Human Services.
| ||||||
25 | All medical providers providing medical assistance to | ||||||
26 | pregnant women
under this Code shall receive information from |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the Department on the
availability of services under the Drug | ||||||
2 | Free Families with a Future or any
comparable program providing | ||||||
3 | case management services for addicted women,
including | ||||||
4 | information on appropriate referrals for other social services
| ||||||
5 | that may be needed by addicted women in addition to treatment | ||||||
6 | for addiction.
| ||||||
7 | The Illinois Department, in cooperation with the | ||||||
8 | Departments of Human
Services (as successor to the Department | ||||||
9 | of Alcoholism and Substance
Abuse) and Public Health, through a | ||||||
10 | public awareness campaign, may
provide information concerning | ||||||
11 | treatment for alcoholism and drug abuse and
addiction, prenatal | ||||||
12 | health care, and other pertinent programs directed at
reducing | ||||||
13 | the number of drug-affected infants born to recipients of | ||||||
14 | medical
assistance.
| ||||||
15 | Neither the Department of Healthcare and Family Services | ||||||
16 | nor the Department of Human
Services shall sanction the | ||||||
17 | recipient solely on the basis of
her substance abuse.
| ||||||
18 | The Illinois Department shall establish such regulations | ||||||
19 | governing
the dispensing of health services under this Article | ||||||
20 | as it shall deem
appropriate. The Department
should
seek the | ||||||
21 | advice of formal professional advisory committees appointed by
| ||||||
22 | the Director of the Illinois Department for the purpose of | ||||||
23 | providing regular
advice on policy and administrative matters, | ||||||
24 | information dissemination and
educational activities for | ||||||
25 | medical and health care providers, and
consistency in | ||||||
26 | procedures to the Illinois Department.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The Illinois Department may develop and contract with | ||||||
2 | Partnerships of
medical providers to arrange medical services | ||||||
3 | for persons eligible under
Section 5-2 of this Code. | ||||||
4 | Implementation of this Section may be by
demonstration projects | ||||||
5 | in certain geographic areas. The Partnership shall
be | ||||||
6 | represented by a sponsor organization. The Department, by rule, | ||||||
7 | shall
develop qualifications for sponsors of Partnerships. | ||||||
8 | Nothing in this
Section shall be construed to require that the | ||||||
9 | sponsor organization be a
medical organization.
| ||||||
10 | The sponsor must negotiate formal written contracts with | ||||||
11 | medical
providers for physician services, inpatient and | ||||||
12 | outpatient hospital care,
home health services, treatment for | ||||||
13 | alcoholism and substance abuse, and
other services determined | ||||||
14 | necessary by the Illinois Department by rule for
delivery by | ||||||
15 | Partnerships. Physician services must include prenatal and
| ||||||
16 | obstetrical care. The Illinois Department shall reimburse | ||||||
17 | medical services
delivered by Partnership providers to clients | ||||||
18 | in target areas according to
provisions of this Article and the | ||||||
19 | Illinois Health Finance Reform Act,
except that:
| ||||||
20 | (1) Physicians participating in a Partnership and | ||||||
21 | providing certain
services, which shall be determined by | ||||||
22 | the Illinois Department, to persons
in areas covered by the | ||||||
23 | Partnership may receive an additional surcharge
for such | ||||||
24 | services.
| ||||||
25 | (2) The Department may elect to consider and negotiate | ||||||
26 | financial
incentives to encourage the development of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Partnerships and the efficient
delivery of medical care.
| ||||||
2 | (3) Persons receiving medical services through | ||||||
3 | Partnerships may receive
medical and case management | ||||||
4 | services above the level usually offered
through the | ||||||
5 | medical assistance program.
| ||||||
6 | Medical providers shall be required to meet certain | ||||||
7 | qualifications to
participate in Partnerships to ensure the | ||||||
8 | delivery of high quality medical
services. These | ||||||
9 | qualifications shall be determined by rule of the Illinois
| ||||||
10 | Department and may be higher than qualifications for | ||||||
11 | participation in the
medical assistance program. Partnership | ||||||
12 | sponsors may prescribe reasonable
additional qualifications | ||||||
13 | for participation by medical providers, only with
the prior | ||||||
14 | written approval of the Illinois Department.
| ||||||
15 | Nothing in this Section shall limit the free choice of | ||||||
16 | practitioners,
hospitals, and other providers of medical | ||||||
17 | services by clients.
In order to ensure patient freedom of | ||||||
18 | choice, the Illinois Department shall
immediately promulgate | ||||||
19 | all rules and take all other necessary actions so that
provided | ||||||
20 | services may be accessed from therapeutically certified | ||||||
21 | optometrists
to the full extent of the Illinois Optometric | ||||||
22 | Practice Act of 1987 without
discriminating between service | ||||||
23 | providers.
| ||||||
24 | The Department shall apply for a waiver from the United | ||||||
25 | States Health
Care Financing Administration to allow for the | ||||||
26 | implementation of
Partnerships under this Section.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The Illinois Department shall require health care | ||||||
2 | providers to maintain
records that document the medical care | ||||||
3 | and services provided to recipients
of Medical Assistance under | ||||||
4 | this Article. Such records must be retained for a period of not | ||||||
5 | less than 6 years from the date of service or as provided by | ||||||
6 | applicable State law, whichever period is longer, except that | ||||||
7 | if an audit is initiated within the required retention period | ||||||
8 | then the records must be retained until the audit is completed | ||||||
9 | and every exception is resolved. The Illinois Department shall
| ||||||
10 | require health care providers to make available, when | ||||||
11 | authorized by the
patient, in writing, the medical records in a | ||||||
12 | timely fashion to other
health care providers who are treating | ||||||
13 | or serving persons eligible for
Medical Assistance under this | ||||||
14 | Article. All dispensers of medical services
shall be required | ||||||
15 | to maintain and retain business and professional records
| ||||||
16 | sufficient to fully and accurately document the nature, scope, | ||||||
17 | details and
receipt of the health care provided to persons | ||||||
18 | eligible for medical
assistance under this Code, in accordance | ||||||
19 | with regulations promulgated by
the Illinois Department. The | ||||||
20 | rules and regulations shall require that proof
of the receipt | ||||||
21 | of prescription drugs, dentures, prosthetic devices and
| ||||||
22 | eyeglasses by eligible persons under this Section accompany | ||||||
23 | each claim
for reimbursement submitted by the dispenser of such | ||||||
24 | medical services.
No such claims for reimbursement shall be | ||||||
25 | approved for payment by the Illinois
Department without such | ||||||
26 | proof of receipt, unless the Illinois Department
shall have put |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | into effect and shall be operating a system of post-payment
| ||||||
2 | audit and review which shall, on a sampling basis, be deemed | ||||||
3 | adequate by
the Illinois Department to assure that such drugs, | ||||||
4 | dentures, prosthetic
devices and eyeglasses for which payment | ||||||
5 | is being made are actually being
received by eligible | ||||||
6 | recipients. Within 90 days after the effective date of
this | ||||||
7 | amendatory Act of 1984, the Illinois Department shall establish | ||||||
8 | a
current list of acquisition costs for all prosthetic devices | ||||||
9 | and any
other items recognized as medical equipment and | ||||||
10 | supplies reimbursable under
this Article and shall update such | ||||||
11 | list on a quarterly basis, except that
the acquisition costs of | ||||||
12 | all prescription drugs shall be updated no
less frequently than | ||||||
13 | every 30 days as required by Section 5-5.12.
| ||||||
14 | The rules and regulations of the Illinois Department shall | ||||||
15 | require
that a written statement including the required opinion | ||||||
16 | of a physician
shall accompany any claim for reimbursement for | ||||||
17 | abortions, or induced
miscarriages or premature births. This | ||||||
18 | statement shall indicate what
procedures were used in providing | ||||||
19 | such medical services.
| ||||||
20 | Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, the Illinois | ||||||
21 | Department shall, within 365 days after the effective date of | ||||||
22 | this amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly, establish | ||||||
23 | procedures to permit skilled care facilities licensed under the | ||||||
24 | Nursing Home Care Act to submit monthly billing claims for | ||||||
25 | reimbursement purposes. Following development of these | ||||||
26 | procedures, the Department shall have an additional 365 days to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | test the viability of the new system and to ensure that any | ||||||
2 | necessary operational or structural changes to its information | ||||||
3 | technology platforms are implemented. | ||||||
4 | The Illinois Department shall require all dispensers of | ||||||
5 | medical
services, other than an individual practitioner or | ||||||
6 | group of practitioners,
desiring to participate in the Medical | ||||||
7 | Assistance program
established under this Article to disclose | ||||||
8 | all financial, beneficial,
ownership, equity, surety or other | ||||||
9 | interests in any and all firms,
corporations, partnerships, | ||||||
10 | associations, business enterprises, joint
ventures, agencies, | ||||||
11 | institutions or other legal entities providing any
form of | ||||||
12 | health care services in this State under this Article.
| ||||||
13 | The Illinois Department may require that all dispensers of | ||||||
14 | medical
services desiring to participate in the medical | ||||||
15 | assistance program
established under this Article disclose, | ||||||
16 | under such terms and conditions as
the Illinois Department may | ||||||
17 | by rule establish, all inquiries from clients
and attorneys | ||||||
18 | regarding medical bills paid by the Illinois Department, which
| ||||||
19 | inquiries could indicate potential existence of claims or liens | ||||||
20 | for the
Illinois Department.
| ||||||
21 | Enrollment of a vendor
shall be
subject to a provisional | ||||||
22 | period and shall be conditional for one year. During the period | ||||||
23 | of conditional enrollment, the Department may
terminate the | ||||||
24 | vendor's eligibility to participate in, or may disenroll the | ||||||
25 | vendor from, the medical assistance
program without cause. | ||||||
26 | Unless otherwise specified, such termination of eligibility or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | disenrollment is not subject to the
Department's hearing | ||||||
2 | process.
However, a disenrolled vendor may reapply without | ||||||
3 | penalty.
| ||||||
4 | The Department has the discretion to limit the conditional | ||||||
5 | enrollment period for vendors based upon category of risk of | ||||||
6 | the vendor. | ||||||
7 | Prior to enrollment and during the conditional enrollment | ||||||
8 | period in the medical assistance program, all vendors shall be | ||||||
9 | subject to enhanced oversight, screening, and review based on | ||||||
10 | the risk of fraud, waste, and abuse that is posed by the | ||||||
11 | category of risk of the vendor. The Illinois Department shall | ||||||
12 | establish the procedures for oversight, screening, and review, | ||||||
13 | which may include, but need not be limited to: criminal and | ||||||
14 | financial background checks; fingerprinting; license, | ||||||
15 | certification, and authorization verifications; unscheduled or | ||||||
16 | unannounced site visits; database checks; prepayment audit | ||||||
17 | reviews; audits; payment caps; payment suspensions; and other | ||||||
18 | screening as required by federal or State law. | ||||||
19 | The Department shall define or specify the following: (i) | ||||||
20 | by provider notice, the "category of risk of the vendor" for | ||||||
21 | each type of vendor, which shall take into account the level of | ||||||
22 | screening applicable to a particular category of vendor under | ||||||
23 | federal law and regulations; (ii) by rule or provider notice, | ||||||
24 | the maximum length of the conditional enrollment period for | ||||||
25 | each category of risk of the vendor; and (iii) by rule, the | ||||||
26 | hearing rights, if any, afforded to a vendor in each category |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of risk of the vendor that is terminated or disenrolled during | ||||||
2 | the conditional enrollment period. | ||||||
3 | To be eligible for payment consideration, a vendor's | ||||||
4 | payment claim or bill, either as an initial claim or as a | ||||||
5 | resubmitted claim following prior rejection, must be received | ||||||
6 | by the Illinois Department, or its fiscal intermediary, no | ||||||
7 | later than 180 days after the latest date on the claim on which | ||||||
8 | medical goods or services were provided, with the following | ||||||
9 | exceptions: | ||||||
10 | (1) In the case of a provider whose enrollment is in | ||||||
11 | process by the Illinois Department, the 180-day period | ||||||
12 | shall not begin until the date on the written notice from | ||||||
13 | the Illinois Department that the provider enrollment is | ||||||
14 | complete. | ||||||
15 | (2) In the case of errors attributable to the Illinois | ||||||
16 | Department or any of its claims processing intermediaries | ||||||
17 | which result in an inability to receive, process, or | ||||||
18 | adjudicate a claim, the 180-day period shall not begin | ||||||
19 | until the provider has been notified of the error. | ||||||
20 | (3) In the case of a provider for whom the Illinois | ||||||
21 | Department initiates the monthly billing process. | ||||||
22 | For claims for services rendered during a period for which | ||||||
23 | a recipient received retroactive eligibility, claims must be | ||||||
24 | filed within 180 days after the Department determines the | ||||||
25 | applicant is eligible. For claims for which the Illinois | ||||||
26 | Department is not the primary payer, claims must be submitted |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | to the Illinois Department within 180 days after the final | ||||||
2 | adjudication by the primary payer. | ||||||
3 | In the case of long term care facilities, admission | ||||||
4 | documents shall be submitted within 30 days of an admission to | ||||||
5 | the facility through the Medical Electronic Data Interchange | ||||||
6 | (MEDI) or the Recipient Eligibility Verification (REV) System, | ||||||
7 | or shall be submitted directly to the Department of Human | ||||||
8 | Services using required admission forms. Confirmation numbers | ||||||
9 | assigned to an accepted transaction shall be retained by a | ||||||
10 | facility to verify timely submittal. Once an admission | ||||||
11 | transaction has been completed, all resubmitted claims | ||||||
12 | following prior rejection are subject to receipt no later than | ||||||
13 | 180 days after the admission transaction has been completed. | ||||||
14 | Claims that are not submitted and received in compliance | ||||||
15 | with the foregoing requirements shall not be eligible for | ||||||
16 | payment under the medical assistance program, and the State | ||||||
17 | shall have no liability for payment of those claims. | ||||||
18 | To the extent consistent with applicable information and | ||||||
19 | privacy, security, and disclosure laws, State and federal | ||||||
20 | agencies and departments shall provide the Illinois Department | ||||||
21 | access to confidential and other information and data necessary | ||||||
22 | to perform eligibility and payment verifications and other | ||||||
23 | Illinois Department functions. This includes, but is not | ||||||
24 | limited to: information pertaining to licensure; | ||||||
25 | certification; earnings; immigration status; citizenship; wage | ||||||
26 | reporting; unearned and earned income; pension income; |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | employment; supplemental security income; social security | ||||||

3 | National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB); program and agency | ||||||
4 | exclusions; taxpayer identification numbers; tax delinquency; | ||||||
5 | corporate information; and death records. | ||||||
6 | The Illinois Department shall enter into agreements with | ||||||
7 | State agencies and departments, and is authorized to enter into | ||||||
8 | agreements with federal agencies and departments, under which | ||||||
9 | such agencies and departments shall share data necessary for | ||||||
10 | medical assistance program integrity functions and oversight. | ||||||
11 | The Illinois Department shall develop, in cooperation with | ||||||
12 | other State departments and agencies, and in compliance with | ||||||
13 | applicable federal laws and regulations, appropriate and | ||||||
14 | effective methods to share such data. At a minimum, and to the | ||||||
15 | extent necessary to provide data sharing, the Illinois | ||||||
16 | Department shall enter into agreements with State agencies and | ||||||
17 | departments, and is authorized to enter into agreements with | ||||||
18 | federal agencies and departments, including but not limited to: | ||||||
19 | the Secretary of State; the Department of Revenue; the | ||||||
20 | Department of Public Health; the Department of Human Services; | ||||||
21 | and the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. | ||||||
22 | Beginning in fiscal year 2013, the Illinois Department | ||||||
23 | shall set forth a request for information to identify the | ||||||
24 | benefits of a pre-payment, post-adjudication, and post-edit | ||||||
25 | claims system with the goals of streamlining claims processing | ||||||
26 | and provider reimbursement, reducing the number of pending or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | rejected claims, and helping to ensure a more transparent | ||||||
2 | adjudication process through the utilization of: (i) provider | ||||||
3 | data verification and provider screening technology; and (ii) | ||||||
4 | clinical code editing; and (iii) pre-pay, pre- or | ||||||
5 | post-adjudicated predictive modeling with an integrated case | ||||||
6 | management system with link analysis. Such a request for | ||||||
7 | information shall not be considered as a request for proposal | ||||||
8 | or as an obligation on the part of the Illinois Department to | ||||||
9 | take any action or acquire any products or services. | ||||||
10 | The Illinois Department shall establish policies, | ||||||
11 | procedures,
standards and criteria by rule for the acquisition, | ||||||
12 | repair and replacement
of orthotic and prosthetic devices and | ||||||
13 | durable medical equipment. Such
rules shall provide, but not be | ||||||
14 | limited to, the following services: (1)
immediate repair or | ||||||
15 | replacement of such devices by recipients; and (2) rental, | ||||||
16 | lease, purchase or lease-purchase of
durable medical equipment | ||||||
17 | in a cost-effective manner, taking into
consideration the | ||||||
18 | recipient's medical prognosis, the extent of the
recipient's | ||||||
19 | needs, and the requirements and costs for maintaining such
| ||||||
20 | equipment. Subject to prior approval, such rules shall enable a | ||||||
21 | recipient to temporarily acquire and
use alternative or | ||||||
22 | substitute devices or equipment pending repairs or
| ||||||
23 | replacements of any device or equipment previously authorized | ||||||
24 | for such
recipient by the Department.
| ||||||
25 | The Department shall execute, relative to the nursing home | ||||||
26 | prescreening
project, written inter-agency agreements with the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Department of Human
Services and the Department on Aging, to | ||||||
2 | effect the following: (i) intake
procedures and common | ||||||
3 | eligibility criteria for those persons who are receiving
| ||||||
4 | non-institutional services; and (ii) the establishment and | ||||||
5 | development of
non-institutional services in areas of the State | ||||||
6 | where they are not currently
available or are undeveloped; and | ||||||
7 | (iii) notwithstanding any other provision of law, subject to | ||||||
8 | federal approval, on and after July 1, 2012, an increase in the | ||||||
9 | determination of need (DON) scores from 29 to 37 for applicants | ||||||
10 | for institutional and home and community-based long term care; | ||||||
11 | if and only if federal approval is not granted, the Department | ||||||
12 | may, in conjunction with other affected agencies, implement | ||||||
13 | utilization controls or changes in benefit packages to | ||||||
14 | effectuate a similar savings amount for this population; and | ||||||
15 | (iv) no later than July 1, 2013, minimum level of care | ||||||
16 | eligibility criteria for institutional and home and | ||||||
17 | community-based long term care. In order to select the minimum | ||||||
18 | level of care eligibility criteria, the Governor shall | ||||||
19 | establish a workgroup that includes affected agency | ||||||
20 | representatives and stakeholders representing the | ||||||
21 | institutional and home and community-based long term care | ||||||
22 | interests. This Section shall not restrict the Department from | ||||||
23 | implementing lower level of care eligibility criteria for | ||||||
24 | community-based services in circumstances where federal | ||||||
25 | approval has been granted.
| ||||||
26 | The Illinois Department shall develop and operate, in |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | cooperation
with other State Departments and agencies and in | ||||||
2 | compliance with
applicable federal laws and regulations, | ||||||
3 | appropriate and effective
systems of health care evaluation and | ||||||
4 | programs for monitoring of
utilization of health care services | ||||||
5 | and facilities, as it affects
persons eligible for medical | ||||||
6 | assistance under this Code.
| ||||||
7 | The Illinois Department shall report annually to the | ||||||
8 | General Assembly,
no later than the second Friday in April of | ||||||

11 | medical services by
public aid recipients;
| ||||||
12 | (b) actual statistics and trends in the provision of | ||||||
13 | the various medical

| ||||||
14 | (c) current rate structures and proposed changes in | ||||||
15 | those rate structures
for the various medical vendors; and
| ||||||
16 | (d) efforts at utilization review and control by the | ||||||
17 | Illinois Department.
| ||||||
18 | The period covered by each report shall be the 3 years | ||||||
19 | ending on the June

| ||||||
5 | Rulemaking authority to implement Public Act 95-1045, if | ||||||
6 | any, is conditioned on the rules being adopted in accordance | ||||||
7 | with all provisions of the Illinois Administrative Procedure | ||||||
8 | Act and all rules and procedures of the Joint Committee on | ||||||

11 | On and after July 1, 2012, the Department shall reduce any | ||||||
12 | rate of reimbursement for services or other payments or alter | ||||||
13 | any methodologies authorized by this Code to reduce any rate of | ||||||
14 | reimbursement for services or other payments in accordance with | ||||||

20 | (305 ILCS 5/11-5.4 new) | ||||||
21 | Sec. 11-5.4. Expedited long-term care eligibility | ||||||
22 | determination and enrollment. | ||||||
23 | (a) An expedited long-term care eligibility determination | ||||||
24 | and enrollment system shall be established to reduce long-term | ||||||
25 | care determinations to 90 days or fewer by July 1, 2014 and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | streamline the long-term care enrollment process. | ||||||
2 | Establishment of the system shall be a joint venture of the | ||||||
3 | Department of Human Services and Healthcare and Family Services | ||||||
4 | and the Department on Aging. The Governor shall name a lead | ||||||
5 | agency no later than 30 days after the effective date of this | ||||||
6 | amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly to assume | ||||||
7 | responsibility for the full implementation of the | ||||||
8 | establishment and maintenance of the system. Project outcomes | ||||||
9 | shall include an enhanced eligibility determination tracking | ||||||
10 | system accessible to providers and a centralized application | ||||||
11 | review and eligibility determination with all applicants | ||||||
12 | reviewed within 90 days of receipt by the State of a complete | ||||||
13 | application. If the Department of Healthcare and Family | ||||||
14 | Services' Office of the Inspector General determines that there | ||||||
15 | is a likelihood that a non-allowable transfer of assets has | ||||||
16 | occurred, and the facility in which the applicant resides is | ||||||
17 | notified, an extension of up to 90 days shall be permissible. | ||||||
18 | On or before December 31, 2015, a streamlined application and | ||||||
19 | enrollment process shall be put in place based on the following | ||||||
20 | principles: | ||||||
21 | (1) Minimize the burden on applicants by collecting | ||||||
22 | only the data necessary to determine eligibility for | ||||||
23 | medical services, long-term care services, and spousal | ||||||
24 | impoverishment offset. | ||||||
25 | (2) Integrate online data sources to simplify the | ||||||
26 | application process by reducing the amount of information |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | needed to be entered and to expedite eligibility | ||||||
2 | verification. | ||||||
3 | (3) Provide online prompts to alert the applicant that | ||||||
4 | information is missing or not complete. | ||||||
5 | (b) The Department shall, on or before July 1, 2014, assess | ||||||
6 | the feasibility of incorporating all information needed to | ||||||
7 | determine eligibility for long-term care services, including | ||||||
8 | asset transfer and spousal impoverishment financials, into the | ||||||
9 | State's integrated eligibility system identifying all | ||||||
10 | resources needed and reasonable timeframes for achieving the | ||||||
11 | specified integration. | ||||||
12 | (c) The lead agency shall file interim reports with the | ||||||
13 | Chairs and Minority Spokespersons of the House and Senate Human | ||||||
14 | Services Committees no later than September 1, 2013 and on | ||||||
15 | February 1, 2014. The Department of Healthcare and Family | ||||||
16 | Services shall include in the annual Medicaid report for State | ||||||
17 | Fiscal Year 2014 and every fiscal year thereafter information | ||||||
18 | concerning implementation of the provisions of this Section. | ||||||
19 | (d) No later than August 1, 2014, the Auditor General shall | ||||||
20 | report to the General Assembly concerning the extent to which | ||||||
21 | the timeframes specified in this Section have been met and the | ||||||
22 | extent to which State staffing levels are adequate to meet the | ||||||
23 | requirements of this Section.
| ||||||
24 | ARTICLE 99. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Section 99-5. The Illinois Administrative Procedure Act is | ||||||
2 | amended by changing Section 5-45 as follows:
| ||||||
3 | (5 ILCS 100/5-45) (from Ch. 127, par. 1005-45) | ||||||
4 | Sec. 5-45. Emergency rulemaking. | ||||||
5 | (a) "Emergency" means the existence of any situation that | ||||||
6 | any agency
finds reasonably constitutes a threat to the public | ||||||
7 | interest, safety, or
welfare. | ||||||
8 | (b) If any agency finds that an
emergency exists that | ||||||
9 | requires adoption of a rule upon fewer days than
is required by | ||||||
10 | Section 5-40 and states in writing its reasons for that
| ||||||
11 | finding, the agency may adopt an emergency rule without prior | ||||||
12 | notice or
hearing upon filing a notice of emergency rulemaking | ||||||
13 | with the Secretary of
State under Section 5-70. The notice | ||||||
14 | shall include the text of the
emergency rule and shall be | ||||||
15 | published in the Illinois Register. Consent
orders or other | ||||||
16 | court orders adopting settlements negotiated by an agency
may | ||||||
17 | be adopted under this Section. Subject to applicable | ||||||
18 | constitutional or
statutory provisions, an emergency rule | ||||||
19 | becomes effective immediately upon
filing under Section 5-65 or | ||||||
20 | at a stated date less than 10 days
thereafter. The agency's | ||||||
21 | finding and a statement of the specific reasons
for the finding | ||||||
22 | shall be filed with the rule. The agency shall take
reasonable | ||||||
23 | and appropriate measures to make emergency rules known to the
| ||||||
24 | persons who may be affected by them. | ||||||
25 | (c) An emergency rule may be effective for a period of not |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | longer than
150 days, but the agency's authority to adopt an | ||||||
2 | identical rule under Section
5-40 is not precluded. No | ||||||
3 | emergency rule may be adopted more
than once in any 24 month | ||||||
4 | period, except that this limitation on the number
of emergency | ||||||
5 | rules that may be adopted in a 24 month period does not apply
| ||||||
6 | to (i) emergency rules that make additions to and deletions | ||||||
7 | from the Drug
Manual under Section 5-5.16 of the Illinois | ||||||
8 | Public Aid Code or the
generic drug formulary under Section | ||||||
9 | 3.14 of the Illinois Food, Drug
and Cosmetic Act, (ii) | ||||||
10 | emergency rules adopted by the Pollution Control
Board before | ||||||
11 | July 1, 1997 to implement portions of the Livestock Management
| ||||||
12 | Facilities Act, (iii) emergency rules adopted by the Illinois | ||||||
13 | Department of Public Health under subsections (a) through (i) | ||||||
14 | of Section 2 of the Department of Public Health Act when | ||||||
15 | necessary to protect the public's health, (iv) emergency rules | ||||||
16 | adopted pursuant to subsection (n) of this Section, (v) | ||||||
17 | emergency rules adopted pursuant to subsection (o) of this | ||||||
18 | Section, or (vi) emergency rules adopted pursuant to subsection | ||||||
19 | (c-5) of this Section. Two or more emergency rules having | ||||||
20 | substantially the same
purpose and effect shall be deemed to be | ||||||
21 | a single rule for purposes of this
Section. | ||||||
22 | (c-5) To facilitate the maintenance of the program of group | ||||||
23 | health benefits provided to annuitants, survivors, and retired | ||||||
24 | employees under the State Employees Group Insurance Act of | ||||||
25 | 1971, rules to alter the contributions to be paid by the State, | ||||||
26 | annuitants, survivors, retired employees, or any combination |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of those entities, for that program of group health benefits, | ||||||
2 | shall be adopted as emergency rules. The adoption of those | ||||||
3 | rules shall be considered an emergency and necessary for the | ||||||
4 | public interest, safety, and welfare. | ||||||
5 | (d) In order to provide for the expeditious and timely | ||||||
6 | implementation
of the State's fiscal year 1999 budget, | ||||||
