Illinois SB1471 regulates billing practices for emergency services provided by nonparticipating providers.
Illinois SB1471 amends the Illinois Insurance Code to regulate billing practices for emergency services provided by nonparticipating providers. It ensures that beneficiaries, insureds, or enrollees do not incur greater out-of-pocket costs than they would with a participating provider. The bill also outlines arbitration procedures for payment disputes and defines terms such as "emergency services" and "nonparticipating provider." It further amends the Health Maintenance Organization Act to ensure coverage for emergency transportation by ambulance.
