1 AN ACT concerning insurance coverage.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The Illinois Insurance Code is amended by
5 adding Section 356z.1 as follows:
6 (215 ILCS 5/356z.1 new)
7 Sec. 356z.1 Coverage of medical services ancillary to
8 dental services for the disabled. An individual or group
9 policy of accident and health insurance amended, delivered,
10 issued, or renewed after the effective date of this
11 amendatory Act of the 92nd General Assembly that covers
12 hospital and medical expenses may not deny coverage for
13 hospital and medical expenses incurred by an insured disabled
14 person when those hospital and medical expenses are incurred,
15 due to the nature of the disability, in conjunction with
16 dental services. Disabled persons eligible for reimbursement
17 include persons with dental conditions who in the opinion of
18 the dentist cannot be successfully treated by the use of
19 conventional management procedures because of the person's
20 physical, mental, developmental, or psychological condition,
21 including children under the age of 7. Nothing in this
22 Section requires that the dental services be covered.
