AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Insurance Code to ensure that group accident and health insurance policies provide full coverage for examination and testing services for victims of certain criminal offenses, without imposing any cost-sharing requirements like deductibles, coinsurance, or copayments. The only exception is if such coverage would disqualify a high-deductible health plan from being eligible for a health savings account, which is a type of savings account used to pay for qualified medical expenses. This change aims to remove financial barriers for victims seeking necessary medical evaluations and treatment related to criminal offenses.
