Bill Title: Amends the Medical Assistance Article of the Illinois Public Aid Code. In a provision concerning mental health services for children, requires a statewide association representing physicians to establish, within a specified time period, a clear process by which an eligible youth, emerging adult, or transition-age adult, or the youth's or emerging adult's parents, guardian, or caregiver, is identified, notified, and educated about the Family Support Program and the Specialized Family Support Program upon a first psychiatric inpatient hospital admission, and any following psychiatric inpatient admissions. Provides that upon a youth's, emerging adult's or transition-age adult's second psychiatric inpatient hospital admission, prior to hospital discharge, the hospital must, if it is aware of the patient's prior psychiatric inpatient hospital admission, ensure that the youth's parents, guardian, or caregiver, or the emerging adult or transition-age adult, have been notified of the Family Support Program and the Specialized Family Support Program. Provides that, if a dependent youth has been left at a psychiatric hospital beyond medical necessity, prior to referring the youth to the Department of Children and Family Services the psychiatric hospital shall attempt to contact the youth and the youth's parents, guardian, or caregiver about the Family Support Program and the Specialized Family Support Program, and shall provide educational materials on those programs. Provides that no State agency or hospital shall be prohibited from discussing medical treatment options or a referral to legal counsel with a parent or guardian of a youth admitted to a psychiatric hospital inpatient unit. Effective immediately.
