Bill > SB2204

This bill amends the Illinois Public Aid Code to transfer responsibility for reimbursement calculations and direct payments for facilities licensed under the ID/DD Community Care Act from the Department of Human Services to the Department of Healthcare and Family Services, effective July 1, 2025. The bill requires appropriations for these facilities to be shifted between departments and explicitly states that the Department of Healthcare and Family Services is not limited to the specified payment rates, which should be interpreted as a minimum amount. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Department of Healthcare and Family Services collaborate with the Department of Human Services to study and review reimbursement calculations and direct payments for facilities licensed under the ID/DD Community Care Act and the MC/DD Act, including the ability to request cost reports and rate information directly from the facilities. This change aims to consolidate and potentially improve the payment and reimbursement processes for developmental disability care facilities in Illinois.
