Summary
Illinois expanded Medicaid coverage under the All Kids program, introducing new co-payment requirements for children in Premium Levels 2-8 based on family income. Co-payments apply to office visits, consultations, psychiatric evaluations, eye exams, and chiropractic treatments, but providers must still collect these from families while the state automatically deducts them from reimbursements.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing team must verify All Kids Premium Level for each pediatric patient using MEDI system (www.myhfs.illinois.gov) or calling 1-800-842-1461 to determine co-payment amounts. Update billing workflow to collect co-payments from families for Premium Levels 2-8 while billing usual charges to the state. Do not report co-payment amounts on claims - the state will automatically deduct them from reimbursements.
