AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Public Aid Code to require the Department of Healthcare and Family Services to reimburse diagnostic testing facilities for long-term ambulatory electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring services at a rate of at least 80% of the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule rate, starting January 1, 2026, subject to federal approval. An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a medical test that records the electrical activity of the heart, and "long-term ambulatory" means the monitoring can be done while a patient goes about their daily activities, typically using a portable device worn over several days or weeks. This change aims to improve access and financial support for a specific type of heart monitoring service within the state's Medicaid program, ensuring that healthcare facilities are adequately compensated for providing this diagnostic service.
