1 AN ACT relating to higher education institutions.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The University of Illinois Hospital Act is
5 amended by changing Section 5 as follows:
6 (110 ILCS 330/5) (from Ch. 23, par. 1375)
7 Sec. 5. The University may establish and collect charges
8 for hospital services rendered in the University of Illinois
9 Hospital or in connection with a University health care
10 program. However, with respect to health care professional
11 services rendered in connection with a University health care
12 program at the University of Illinois Hospital or elsewhere
13 by the Doctors of Medicine, the Doctors of Dentistry, or
14 other health care professionals who are members of the
15 University faculty, charges for such professional services
16 shall not be established or collected by the University or
17 the University of Illinois Hospital but may be by said
18 members of said faculty who render such services under a plan
19 or plans organized and administered by them. All such charges
20 shall be deposited in a special fund or funds in the treasury
21 of the University. The billing, collecting and disbursing of
22 any such fund shall remain exclusively under the supervision
23 and control of such faculty under a plan or plans established
24 by them for the general benefit and support of University
25 programs and activities related to the health professions,
26 provided no charges may be made or collected until such plan
27 has been approved by the University. However, no person shall
28 make or collect a personal or professional charge for his own
29 account for treating, caring for or nursing a patient in the
30 University of Illinois Hospital (other than such services
31 provided at the University of Illinois Hospital by
-2- LRB9212756NTpk
1 non-salaried University faculty members) or in connection
2 with a University health care program. Nothing herein shall
3 prevent the University from approving a plan under which any
4 such fund in the University treasury may be utilized in
5 paying the University salaries of such faculty members, or
6 from assisting in the billing and collection of professional
7 charges if all University costs in connection therewith are
8 paid from the charges so collected.
