Senate Amendment 001

In provisions amending the Illinois Insurance Code, provides that a provision concerning coverage for medically necessary hearing instruments and related services for individuals under the age of 18 is inoperative other than any such coverage authorized under specified provisions of the Social Security Act and the State shall not assume any obligation for the cost of coverage for medically necessary hearing instruments and related services for individuals under the age of 18 if, at any time, the Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, or its successor agency, promulgates rules or regulations to be published in the Federal Register, publishes a comment in the Federal Register, or issues an opinion, guidance, or other action that would require the State, pursuant to any provision of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, to defray the cost of that coverage.

House Amendment 001

Provides that the coverage for hearing instruments and related services for all individuals under the age of 18 when a hearing care professional prescribes a hearing instrument to augment communication must be medically necessary. Makes changes to the restrictions on hearing aid coverage. Removes language providing that an insurer shall not be required to pay a claim if the insured filed such a claim 12 months prior to the date of filing the claim with the insurer and the claim was paid by the insurer. Effective immediately.
