Summary
Amends the Illinois Public Aid Code. Provides that the Department of Healthcare and Family Services, in cooperation with the Secretary of State and the Department of Human Services, shall undertake a study to determine the feasibility of permitting recipients of medical assistance provided under Article V of the Code to obtain authorized benefits by presenting a valid State identification card issued by the Secretary of State in place of a separate Medical Card. Provides that the study shall include an analysis of any costs or cost savings associated with: (i) discontinuing the distribution and use of a separate Medical Card for recipients of medical assistance; (ii) permitting recipients of medical assistance to qualify for a waiver of any fee prescribed under the Illinois Identification Card Act and collected by the Secretary of State for the issuance of a State identification card; and (iii) establishing a verification process that would enable healthcare providers participating in the medical assistance program to use a person's Social Security number as it appears on a valid State identification card issued by the Secretary of State to verify that person's eligibility for medical assistance benefits.
