Bill Title: Amends the Illinois Public Aid Code. Provides that if a person who is incarcerated in a jail or correctional facility in Illinois or receiving treatment at a hospital under the authority of the Department of Corrections was a recipient of medical assistance immediately before his or her incarceration or period of treatment, the recipient shall remain eligible for medical assistance during the period of his or her incarceration or treatment, but the Department of Healthcare and Family Services shall not provide medical assistance for any medical care, services, or supplies provided to the recipient during that period. Provides that the Department may, however, provide medical assistance for inpatient hospital services provided to the recipient at a hospital located outside the premises of the jail or correctional facility to the extent that federal financial participation is available for the costs of those services. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.
