Gov. Pritzker Signs Medicaid Omnibus Bill into Law

Governor JB Pritzker signed SB3365 into law, building a foundation to protect patients in anticipation of significant changes to the healthcare system in Illinois due to the federal HR1 legislation. This law will deliver significant reforms to Illinois’ hospital system and long-term care industry. The bipartisan Fiscal Year 2027 Medicaid Omnibus bill will strengthen the ability of the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) and of the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) to detect hospital financial distress, assist financially vulnerable hospitals, ensure transparency, and prevent service disruptions that could negatively impact Illinois residents.
