Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker speaks to the media on June 25, 2024, at Eyes on the Future Child Development Center in Chicago. Pritzker on Wednesday signed new legislation that includes a prohibition on insurance plans requiring what is known as “step therapy,” which is when the insurer requires a customer to try different treatments or medications before those prescribed by their doctor.
The legislation, which passed by wide margins and with bipartisan support in the General Assembly this spring, marks a key policy victory for Pritzker, who promised in February to put his “shoulder to the wheel” to pass health care reform. The law also prohibits insurers from requiring prior authorization, cases where patients need permission from insurance companies before receiving treatment for in-patient, or overnight, mental health care at a hospital.
