No co-payment requirement can exist for renal dialysis, radiation therapy, cancer chemotherapy, or insulin, and other products necessary on a recurring basis, the absence of which would be life threatening, or where co-payment expenditures for required services and/or medications for chronic diseases that the Illinois Department shall by rule designate shall cause an extensive financial burden on the recipient, and provided no co-payment shall exist for emergency room encounters which are for medical emergencies. The Department shall seek approval of a State plan amendment that allows pharmacies to refuse to dispense drugs in circumstances where the recipient does not pay the required co-payment. Co-payments may not exceed $10 for emergency room use for a non-emergency situation as defined by the Department by rule and subject to federal approval.","path":["CHAPTER 305 PUBLIC AID","Illinois Public Aid Code."],"source_url":"https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ILCS/details?ActID=1413\u0026ChapterID=28\u0026ChapAct=FullText\u0026Print=True","current_through":"at least Public Act 104-790","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-15T04:46:32Z","sha256":"2d42c77d42b8f585d6c06b12c0db4a08a6c954ba7f161674d7b37cf2eab6b28b","source_id":"us-il","stale":false,"prev":"us-il/305-ilcs-5-5-4","next":"us-il/305-ilcs-5-5-4.2"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
