Illinois Code § 5H-6

§ 5H-6.

Sec. 5H-6. Recordkeeping; penalties. (a) A managed care organization that is liable for the assessment under this Article shall keep accurate and complete records and pertinent documents as may be required by the Department. Records required by the Department shall be retained for a period of 4 years after the assessment imposed under this Act to which the records apply is due or as otherwise provided by law. The Department or the Department of Insurance may audit all records necessary to ensure compliance with this Article and make adjustments to assessment amounts previously calculated based on the results of any such audit. (b) If a managed care organization fails to make a payment due under this Article in a timely fashion, it shall pay an additional penalty of 5% of the amount of the installment not paid on or before the due date, or any grace period granted, plus 5% of the portion thereof remaining unpaid on the last day of each 30-day period thereafter. The Department is authorized to grant grace periods of up to 30 days upon request of a managed care organization for good cause due to financial or other difficulties, as determined by the Department. If a managed care organization fails to make a payment within 60 days after the due date the Department shall additionally impose a contractual sanction allowed against a Medicaid managed care organization and may terminate any such contract. The Department of Insurance shall take action against the certificate of authority of a non-Medicaid managed care organization that fails to pay an installment within 60 days after the due date.
