AN ACT concerning regulation.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The Illinois Insurance Code is amended by |
changing Section 356z.33 as follows:
|
(215 ILCS 5/356z.33) |
Sec. 356z.33. Coverage for epinephrine injectors. |
(a) A group or individual policy of accident and health |
insurance or a managed care plan that is amended, delivered, |
issued, or renewed on or after January 1, 2020 (the effective |
date of Public Act 101-281) shall provide coverage for |
medically necessary epinephrine injectors for persons 18 years |
of age or under. As used in this Section, "epinephrine |
injector" has the meaning given to that term in Section 5 of |
the Epinephrine Injector Act. |
(b) An insurer that provides coverage for medically |
necessary epinephrine injectors shall limit the total amount |
that an insured is required to pay for a twin-pack of medically |
necessary epinephrine injectors at an amount not to exceed |

(c) Nothing in this Section prevents an insurer from |
reducing an insured's cost sharing by an amount greater than |
the amount specified in subsection (b). |
