Section 359
Section 359.9  Payments for
Medical Care
a)         Youth for whom DCFS is legally responsible (youth in care) and
youth in care adopted with a monthly adoption or subsidized guardianship
subsidy payment are eligible for services through the Department of Healthcare
and Family Services' (HFS) Illinois medical assistance program.  Each eligible
youth will receive a Medicaid card.  Youth enrolled in a managed care program
will also receive a managed care plan membership card.  The Department will pay
for medical services or expenses for youth in care who are not eligible for
medical assistance.
b)         Foster parents, child welfare contributing agencies, and
institutions providing substitute care for youth in care and adoptive parents
and subsidized guardians may select a practitioner from the youth's health plan
provider network.  As age and developmentally appropriate, adolescent youth may
choose their own primary health care provider from their health plan provider
network.
