815 ILCS 628/5

in effect

(815 ILCS 628/5) Sec. 5. Public policy. It is the policy of the State of Illinois to promote personal responsibility for health care and the cost-effective delivery of dental services by encouraging innovative use of in-office membership care practices for dental care. In-office membership care practices utilize a model of periodic fees for provider access and management over time, rather than simply a fee for visit or procedure service model. Some patients and individual dental care providers may wish to establish direct agreements with one another as an alternative to traditional fee-for-service care financed through health insurance. The purpose of this Act is to confirm that in-office membership care agreements that satisfy the provisions of this Act do not constitute insurance and as such are not subject to the Illinois Insurance Code.
