MEMORANDUM

Resource for New Signage Requirement for Hospital Emergency Departments

Several members have contacted IHA seeking a template or suggested language for the signage to comply with PA 101-0117, which requires hospitals to post, in its hospital emergency department, an informational notice of how to enroll in health insurance through the Illinois health insurance marketplace. A member hospital has graciously permitted IHA to share its signage resource as a sample for other hospitals to use, if needed. The sample can be found here.

As a reminder, the IHA Legal Department maintains a resource on the IHA website of federal and state signage and notice requirements for hospitals.
