AI Summary
This bill amends multiple Illinois insurance-related laws to require group and individual health insurance policies, managed care plans, and state-sponsored health programs to provide coverage for dental devices starting January 1, 2026. Specifically, the bill mandates that insurance policies cover one pair of custom-made retainers and one night guard every two years for each family. The bill defines a "night guard" as a removable dental device worn during sleep to prevent teeth grinding and clenching, and a "retainer" as a custom-made device worn over teeth to maintain or help realign dental positioning. The legislation impacts various types of health insurance programs, including state employee insurance, county and municipal plans, school district plans, health maintenance organizations, limited health service organizations, voluntary health service plans, and the medical assistance program. By adding these dental device provisions to multiple sections of existing law, the bill ensures widespread coverage across different types of health insurance in Illinois.
