AI Summary
This bill expands coverage for cleft lip and cleft palate care by amending two Illinois laws: the Illinois Insurance Code and the Illinois Public Aid Code. Under the Illinois Insurance Code, individual and group accident and health insurance policies will be required to cover medically necessary care and treatment for cleft lip and palate for both children and adults, not just children under 19, for policies renewed or issued on or after the effective date of this new law. The Illinois Public Aid Code is also amended to include the care and treatment of cleft lip and palate within the definition of covered dental services for medical assistance programs, ensuring that individuals receiving state aid also have access to this necessary treatment. This legislation takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
