1 Co-Sponsor

Amends the Substance Use Disorder Act and the Medical Assistance Article of the Illinois Public Aid Code. Provides that a provider, including a provider enrolled in the medical assistance program, that is licensed and contracted by the Department of Human Services to provide Level 3.5 and 3.5D residential services or Level 3.7D withdrawal management services for persons with a substance use disorder shall be paid the contracted rate for the day of discharge if, as a result of the Department's September 1, 2020 changes to reimbursement rates and methodology standards, the provider's contracted reimbursement rate is not sufficient to offset any loss of revenue associated with the Department's prohibition on billing for the day of discharge.
