SB2813

Illinois SB2813 prohibits Medicaid co-payments for services and prescription medications.

Illinois SB2813 amends the Illinois Public Aid Code to prohibit the Department of Healthcare and Family Services from requiring any Medicaid recipient to pay a co-payment for services or prescription medications. The bill mandates that the Department apply for any necessary state plan amendment or federal approval. Exceptions include co-payments for emergency room use for non-emergency situations, capped at $10, and federally approved fees. Certain treatments, such as renal dialysis, radiation therapy, cancer chemotherapy, and insulin, are exempt from co-payment requirements.
