HB 5253

Abstract

Amends the Illinois Insurance Code. In provisions concerning victims of certain offenses, removes language providing that any insurance carrier shall upon reasonable demand by the Department of Public Health disclose the names and identities of its insureds entitled to benefits to the Department whenever the Department has determined that it has paid, or is about to pay, hospital or medical expenses for which an insurance carrier is liable. Removes language providing that whenever the Department finds that it has paid all or part of any hospital or medical expenses which an insurance carrier is obligated to pay, the Department shall be entitled to receive reimbursement for its payments from such insurance carrier provided that the Department has notified the insurance carrier of its claims before the carrier has paid such benefits to its insureds or in behalf of its insureds.
