(DEL VALLE-RONEN) 305 ILCS 5/5-5 from Ch. 23, par. 5-5 305 ILCS 5/5-8 from Ch. 23, par. 5-8 305 ILCS 5/12-13 from Ch. 23, par. 12-13 Amends the Illinois Public Aid Code. Provides that the Medicaid program may include reimbursement for behavioral health services and mental health services. Authorizes the Department of Public Aid to provide for the services of persons licensed as a clinical psycholo- gist, clinical social worker, or clinical professional counselor in supplying medical assistance. Prohibits the Department's rules from requiring that services for a specific Medicaid recipient provided by a licensed clinical psychologist, licensed clinical social worker, or licensed clinical professional counselor be recommended by a physi- cian. Effective immediately. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1. Deletes reference to: 305 ILCS 5/5-5 Deletes amendatory provisions (i) adding behavioral health services and mental health services to the list of medical services that may be covered under Medicaid and (ii) authorizing Medicaid reimbursement for those services if they are performed by persons licensed under the Medical Practice Act of 1987. STATE DEBT NOTE H-AM 1 (Economic and Fiscal Commission) HB 1985, as amended by House Amendment 1, would not change the amount of authorization for any type of State-issued or State-support bond, and, therefore, would not affect the level of State indebtedness. FISCAL NOTE (Department of Public Aid) The bill would allow for payment directly to clinical psychologists, social workers or professional counselors. These provider types are not currently recognized by the Department. While the language is permissive, if these providers partici- pate, the Department estimates the fiscal impact to be between $17 and $23 million annually.
