Bill Summary
Amends the Illinois Insurance Code. Provides that a group health plan or an accident and health insurer offering group or individual health insurance coverage shall not discriminate with respect to participation under the plan or coverage against any health care provider who is acting within the scope of that provider's license or certification under applicable State law. Provides that nothing in the provisions shall be construed as preventing a group health plan, an accident and health insurer, or the Director of Insurance from establishing varying reimbursement rates based on quality or performance measures.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Insurance Code to prohibit group health plans and accident and health insurers from discriminating against healthcare providers who are acting within their licensed scope of practice, meaning they cannot be unfairly excluded from participating in or receiving payment under these plans. However, this prohibition does not prevent insurers or the Director of Insurance (the state official overseeing insurance matters) from setting different payment rates for providers based on the quality or effectiveness of the care they deliver.
