Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the bill as amended by Senate Amendment No. 1, but removes provisions requiring the Department of Public Health to conduct a public education campaign concerning hepatitis C.

Senate Amendment 001

Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the introduced bill with the following changes: Provides that hepatitis C testing requirements do not apply if: the health care practitioner reasonably believes that testing is contraindicated for the patient; it would interfere with appropriate care; or the patient is being seen for an acute ailment, illness, or condition. Amends the Illinois Insurance Code. Provides that every insurer that amends, delivers, issues, or renews a group or individual major medical policy of accident and health insurance in this State providing coverage for hospital or medical treatment shall provide coverage for hepatitis C screening and confirmatory testing consistent with reasonable medical standards. Makes conforming changes in the State Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971, the Counties Code, the Illinois Municipal Code, the School Code, the Health Maintenance Organization Act, the Voluntary Health Services Plans Act, and the Illinois Public Aid Code.
