SB 3758

Abstract

Amends the Long-Term Care Provider Funding Article of the Illinois Public Aid Code. In a provision concerning payment assessments imposed on long-term care providers, provides that the Department of Healthcare and Family Services is authorized to establish delayed payment schedules for long-term care providers that are unable to make certain assessment payments for occupied bed days and licensed nursing bed days reported due to financial difficulties. Provides that the Department may not deny a request for delay of payment of the assessment if the long-term care provider has not been paid for services provided during the month or months (rather than services provided during the month) on which the assessment is levied or the Medicaid managed care organization has not been paid by the State. Effective immediately.
