Section 20. The Illinois Health Benefits Exchange Law is |
amended by changing Section 5-5 and by adding Sections 5-21, |
5-22, 5-23, and 5-24 as follows:
|
(215 ILCS 122/5-5)
|
Sec. 5-5. State health benefits exchange. It is declared |
that this State, beginning October 1, 2013, in accordance with |
Section 1311 of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable |
Care Act, shall establish a State health benefits exchange to |
be known as the Illinois Health Benefits Exchange in order to |
help individuals and small employers with no more than 50 |
employees shop for, select, and enroll in qualified, |
affordable private health plans that fit their needs at |
competitive prices. The Exchange shall separate coverage pools |
for individuals and small employers and shall supplement and |
not supplant any existing private health insurance market for |
individuals and small employers. The Department of Insurance |
shall operate the Illinois Health Benefits Exchange as a |
State-based exchange using the federal platform by plan year |
2025 and as a State-based exchange by plan year 2026. The |
Director of Insurance may require that all plans in the |
individual and small group markets, other than grandfathered |
health plans, be made available for comparison on the Illinois |
|
Health Benefits Exchange, but may not require that all plans |
in the individual and small group markets be purchased |
exclusively on the Illinois Health Benefits Exchange. Through |
the adoption of rules, the Director of Insurance may require |
that plans offered on the exchange conform with standardized |
plan designs that provide for standardized cost sharing for |
covered health services. Except when it is inconsistent with |
State law, the Department of Insurance shall enforce the |
coverage requirements under the federal Patient Protection and |
Affordable Care Act, including the coverage of all United |
States Preventive Services Task Force Grade A and B preventive |
services without cost sharing notwithstanding any federal |
overturning or repeal of 42 U.S.C. 300gg-13(a)(1), that apply |
to the individual and small group markets. The Director of |
Insurance may elect to add a small business health options |
program to the Illinois Health Benefits Exchange to help small |
employers enroll their employees in qualified health plans in |
the small group market. The General Assembly shall appropriate |
funds to establish the Illinois Health Benefits Exchange.

Sec. 5-21. Monthly assessments. |
(a) The Director of Insurance may apply a monthly |
assessment to each health benefits plan sold on the Illinois |
Health Benefits Exchange. The assessment shall be paid by the |
|
issuer and to the Department of Insurance and shall be used |
only for the purpose of supporting the exchange through |
exchange operations, outreach, and enrollment, including any |
efforts that may result in a benefit to policyholders. The |
assessment may be applied at a rate of: |
(1) 0.5% of the total monthly premium charged by an |
issuer for each health benefits plan during any period |
that the State is on a State-based exchange using the |
federal platform; or |
(2) 2.75% of the total monthly premium charged by an |
issuer for each health benefits plan during any period |
that the State is on the State-based exchange. The |
Director of Insurance shall adjust this rate to ensure |
that the Illinois Health Benefits Exchange is fully |
funded, but in no case shall the assessment be applied at a |
rate that exceeds 3.5% of the total monthly premium |
charged by a carrier. If the Director determines it is |
necessary to adjust the rate pursuant to this paragraph, |
the Director shall, in advance of the adjustment, post on |
the Department's website a report describing the reasons |
and justifications for the adjustment, which shall be |
consistent with the purposes of supporting the Illinois |
Health Benefits Exchange as provided in this Section, at |
least 120 days before the implementation of the rate |
adjustment. |
(b) The Director of Insurance shall notify an issuer 120 |
|
days before the implementation of its assessment rate for the |
subsequent year. Issuers must remit the assessment due in |
monthly installments to the Department of Insurance. |
(c) The assessment described in this Section shall be |
considered a special purpose obligation and may not be applied |
by issuers to vary premium rates at the plan level. |
(d) There is created a special fund within the State |
treasury to be known as the Illinois Health Benefits Exchange |
Fund. The Illinois Health Benefits Exchange Fund shall be the |
repository for moneys collected pursuant to fees or |
assessments on exchange issuers, federal financial |
participation as appropriate, and other moneys received as |
grants or otherwise appropriated for the purposes of |
supporting health insurance outreach, enrollment efforts, and |
plan management operations through an exchange. All moneys in |
the Fund shall be used, subject to appropriation, only for the |
purpose of supporting the exchange through exchange |
operations, outreach, enrollment, and other means of |
supporting the exchange, including any efforts that may result |
in a benefit to policyholders.
|
