Summary
Illinois hospitals can now register sexual assault survivors in an online system, allowing survivors to receive follow-up care from any community provider for 90 days instead of being limited to hospital emergency room visits. If survivors are not registered, hospitals remain responsible for all follow-up care.
Action Required
Immediately: Illinois hospital billing teams must train staff on the MEDI Sexual Assault Survivor Registration system. Register sexual assault survivors during initial emergency room visits to generate Authorization Voucher HFS 3870. Continue using Illinois Sexual Assault Program Outpatient Hospital Billing Form for initial visits. If survivors are not registered, hospital remains responsible for all 90-day follow-up care costs.
