Illinois Statutes Chapter 410. Public Health § 20/4. Regional screening programs; contracts

§ 4. (a) The Department may enter into contracts with providers of health care for the purpose of establishing voluntary regional screening programs for diethylstilbestrol exposed persons. In determining the provider with which to contract, the Department may consider such provider's compliance with State and federally mandated standards, the location in relation to the concentration of population within the area, and the capacity of such provider to properly conduct such screening program.

(b) Each contract for a regional screening program shall be upon such terms and conditions as the Department determines; provided, that each such provider shall charge each person receiving services a fee as determined by the Department pursuant to rule and regulation. The amount of such fee as therein provided shall be based on such person's ability to pay. When provided, payments from all third party payors shall be accepted and utilized in securing payment for such services.
