Bill Title: Amends the Medical Assistance Article of the Illinois Public Aid Code. In a provision concerning network adequacy for managed care organizations (MCO) contracted with the Department of Healthcare and Family Services, provides that each MCO shall (i) on a monthly basis, jointly validate with contracted providers any changes in provider information, including, but not limited to, changes concerning new providers, terminated providers, updated address information, hours of operation, or other information that is material to a Medicaid beneficiary in the enrollment and provider selection process; and (ii) be required to produce system reports that validate that all MCO systems reflect updated provider information. Provides that in situations in which an enrolled Medicaid provider renders services based on information obtained after verifying a patient's eligibility and coverage plan through either the Department's current enrollment system or the coverage plan identified by the patient presenting for services, such services shall be considered rendered in good faith. Requires the Department to create and maintain a MCO Performance Metrics Comparison Tool that provides periodic reporting, on at least a quarterly basis, of each MCO's performance in various administrative measures. Requires the tool to be accessible in both a print and online format, with the online format allowing for Medicaid beneficiaries and providers to access additional detailed MCO performance information. Effective immediately.
