Illinois lawmakers want to cut the waiting period for medical approval of treatments or medicine. A bill would limit the time insurance providers have to decide whether or not to cover something. Legislators want to create a 24-hour limit for urgent care and 48 hours for non-urgent care. The bill doesn’t require providers to automatically approve treatments.
