{"data":{"id":"us-il/815-ilcs-628-5","jurisdiction":"us-il","citation":"815 ILCS 628/5","heading":"Public policy.","body":"It is the policy of the State of Illinois to promote personal responsibility for health care and the cost-effective delivery of dental services by encouraging innovative use of in-office membership care practices for dental care. In-office membership care practices utilize a model of periodic fees for provider access and management over time, rather than simply a fee for visit or procedure service model. Some patients and individual dental care providers may wish to establish direct agreements with one another as an alternative to traditional fee-for-service care financed through health insurance. The purpose of this Act is to confirm that in-office membership care agreements that satisfy the provisions of this Act do not constitute insurance and as such are not subject to the Illinois Insurance Code.","path":["CHAPTER 815 BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS","In-Office Membership Care Act."],"source_url":"https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ILCS/details?ActID=4006\u0026ChapterID=67\u0026ChapAct=FullText\u0026Print=True","current_through":"at least Public Act 104-790","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-15T04:46:48Z","sha256":"54ebf2a6f5d09b676a62768bedcb19539a865be5ab16aaf88564644c0b009cb9","source_id":"us-il","stale":false,"prev":"us-il/815-ilcs-628-1","next":"us-il/815-ilcs-628-10"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
