Protect Illinois Hospitality - Vote No On House Bill 5345
Tuesday, May 21, 2024 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.]  EDITORIAL: Take a wait-and-see approach before eliminating subminimum wage for tipped workers in Illinois “Menu prices are sure to increase, making restaurant visits less appetizing. We’re also wondering: Will customers continue to eat out as often and tip generously — or at all — when prices increase and service charges and other fees are added to bills? And what about those servers who already make more than minimum wage because of tips, especially in bustling, high-end establishments? Nationally, according to a 2022 survey by the National Restaurant Association, tipped workers make an average of $27 an hour.” Read the full editorial here and tell state legislators to VOTE NO on House Bill 5345 and Protect Illinois Hospitality.

Medicaid MCOs’ Inappropriate Denials: Support Commonsense Reforms With NO Budget Impact
Tuesday, May 21, 2024 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] Consider the case of a patient with severe pain due to sickle cell crisis, when blood flow to an area is blocked by the sickled cells. The patient goes to an emergency department for treatment. The patient meets nationally recognized clinical guidelines for inpatient care, so is admitted to stabilize their emergency condition. But the Medicaid managed care organization (MCO) insuring the patient denies inpatient coverage. Over a week later, during a peer-to-peer review, the MCO medical director agrees the patient meets the MCO’s clinical criteria for inpatient care. MCO leadership, though, says the criteria should be ignored because there “has to be more than just IV pain meds to approve an inpatient admission.” The denial is upheld. The example above is one of numerous instances of MCOs managing their costs by denying needed medical services, instead of improving healthcare for Medicaid customers as promised 12 years ago. The Illinois hospital community is asking legislators to pass commonsense legislative reforms developed by the Illinois Health and Hospital Association (IHA). These reforms address harmful prior authorization practices and eliminate barriers to healthcare for 3.6 million Illinoisans—with NO impact on the State’s Fiscal Year 2025 budget. Support IHA’s MCO reform package.
