Illinois SB3554 expands Medicaid coverage for brain injury services for individuals over 21.

Illinois SB3554 amends the Medicaid program to expand coverage for brain injury services for individuals over 21. Effective January 1, 2027, it allows reimbursement for services such as case management, nursing, medical oversight, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech language therapy, behavioral intervention, individual and family counseling, life skills training, residential habilitation, and day habilitation. Previously, these services were not reimbursed for individuals over 21, leading to abrupt care disruptions and out-of-state placements.
