HB4394LRB101 16543 KTG 65927 b
1 AN ACT concerning abortion.

3represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The State Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971
5is amended by changing Sections 6 and 6.1 as follows:
6 (5 ILCS 375/6) (from Ch. 127, par. 526)
7 Sec. 6. Program of health benefits.
8 (a) The program of health benefits shall provide for
9protection against the financial costs of health care expenses
10incurred in and out of hospital including basic
11hospital-surgical-medical coverages. The program may include,
12but shall not be limited to, such supplemental coverages as
13out-patient diagnostic X-ray and laboratory expenses,
14prescription drugs, dental services, hearing evaluations,
15hearing aids, the dispensing and fitting of hearing aids, and
16similar group benefits as are now or may become available.
17However, nothing in this Act shall be construed to permit the
18non-contributory portion of any such program to include the
19expenses of obtaining an abortion, induced miscarriage or
20induced premature birth unless, in the opinion of a physician,
21such procedures are necessary for the preservation of the life
22of the woman seeking such treatment, or except an induced
23premature birth intended to produce a live viable child and

HB4394- 2 -LRB101 16543 KTG 65927 b
1such procedure is necessary for the health of the mother or the
2unborn child. The program may also include coverage for those
3who rely on treatment by prayer or spiritual means alone for
4healing in accordance with the tenets and practice of a
5recognized religious denomination.
6 The program of health benefits shall be designed by the
7Director (1) to provide a reasonable relationship between the
8benefits to be included and the expected distribution of
9expenses of each such type to be incurred by the covered
10members and dependents, (2) to specify, as covered benefits and
11as optional benefits, the medical services of practitioners in
12all categories licensed under the Medical Practice Act of 1987,
13(3) to include reasonable controls, which may include
14deductible and co-insurance provisions, applicable to some or
15all of the benefits, or a coordination of benefits provision,
16to prevent or minimize unnecessary utilization of the various
17hospital, surgical and medical expenses to be provided and to
18provide reasonable assurance of stability of the program, and
19(4) to provide benefits to the extent possible to members
20throughout the State, wherever located, on an equitable basis.
21Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section or Act, for
22all members or dependents who are eligible for benefits under
23Social Security or the Railroad Retirement system or who had
24sufficient Medicare-covered government employment, the
25Department shall reduce benefits which would otherwise be paid
26by Medicare, by the amount of benefits for which the member or

HB4394- 3 -LRB101 16543 KTG 65927 b
1dependents are eligible under Medicare, except that such
2reduction in benefits shall apply only to those members or
3dependents who (1) first become eligible for such medicare
4coverage on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act
5of 1992; or (2) are Medicare-eligible members or dependents of
6a local government unit which began participation in the
7program on or after July 1, 1992; or (3) remain eligible for
8but no longer receive Medicare coverage which they had been
9receiving on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act
10of 1992.
11 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act, where a
12covered member or dependents are eligible for benefits under
13the federal Medicare health insurance program (Title XVIII of
14the Social Security Act as added by Public Law 89-97, 89th
15Congress), benefits paid under the State of Illinois program or
16plan will be reduced by the amount of benefits paid by
17Medicare. For members or dependents who are eligible for
18benefits under Social Security or the Railroad Retirement
19system or who had sufficient Medicare-covered government
20employment, benefits shall be reduced by the amount for which
21the member or dependent is eligible under Medicare, except that
22such reduction in benefits shall apply only to those members or
23dependents who (1) first become eligible for such Medicare
24coverage on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act
25of 1992; or (2) are Medicare-eligible members or dependents of
26a local government unit which began participation in the

HB4394- 4 -LRB101 16543 KTG 65927 b
1program on or after July 1, 1992; or (3) remain eligible for,
2but no longer receive Medicare coverage which they had been
3receiving on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act
4of 1992. Premiums may be adjusted, where applicable, to an
5amount deemed by the Director to be reasonably consistent with
6any reduction of benefits.
7 (b) A member, not otherwise covered by this Act, who has
8retired as a participating member under Article 2 of the
9Illinois Pension Code but is ineligible for the retirement
10annuity under Section 2-119 of the Illinois Pension Code, shall
11pay the premiums for coverage, not exceeding the amount paid by
12the State for the non-contributory coverage for other members,
13under the group health benefits program under this Act. The
14Director shall determine the premiums to be paid by a member
15under this subsection (b).

18 Sec. 6.1. The program of health benefits may offer as an
19alternative, available on an optional basis, coverage through
20health maintenance organizations. That part of the premium for
21such coverage which is in excess of the amount which would
22otherwise be paid by the State for the program of health
23benefits shall be paid by the member who elects such
24alternative coverage and shall be collected as provided for
25premiums for other optional coverages.

6of the woman seeking such treatment, or except an induced
7premature birth intended to produce a live viable child and
8such procedure is necessary for the health of the mother or her
9unborn child.

17agency, promulgates rules or regulations to be published in the
18Federal Register or publishes a comment in the Federal Register
19or issues an opinion, guidance, or other action that would
20require the State, pursuant to any provision of the Patient

18breast cancer treatment quality improvement program approved

8Department shall report to the General Assembly on the status
9of the provision set forth in this paragraph.
10 The Department shall establish a methodology to remind

19a recipient received retroactive eligibility, claims must be
20filed within 180 days after the Department determines the
21applicant is eligible. For claims for which the Illinois
22Department is not the primary payer, claims must be submitted
23to the Illinois Department within 180 days after the final

1rejected claims, and helping to ensure a more transparent
2adjudication process through the utilization of: (i) provider
3data verification and provider screening technology; and (ii)
4clinical code editing; and (iii) pre-pay, pre- or
5post-adjudicated predictive modeling with an integrated case
6management system with link analysis. Such a request for

14authorization conditions on enrollees of managed care
15organizations.
16 The Department shall execute, relative to the nursing home
17prescreening project, written inter-agency agreements with the

13of care eligibility criteria, the Governor shall establish a
14workgroup that includes affected agency representatives and
15stakeholders representing the institutional and home and
