Pritzker Signs Consumer Protection Bills For Health Insurance Coverage
Governor Pritzker is signing off on several consumer protection bills for health insurance coverage. The measures help implement fair and transparent billing practices and provide better access to information about enrollment options. One specifically addresses surprise medical billing, which is one of the most common reasons people file health insurance complaints. The new law grants the Illinois Department of Insurance additional authority to assist consumers facing astronomical bills because they unknowingly or mistakenly received care from hospitals or doctors that were out-of-network.
