IL: Health Insurance Benefit Coverage Law

Group accident or health insurance policies and HMOs that cover prescription drugs generally may not exclude coverage of an FDA-approved drug used in cancer treatment because it has not been approved by the FDA for the specific type of cancer for which it is prescribed. The drug, however, must meet certain standards, which were recently revised.
