This bill establishes regulations regarding compensation for health care services provided to inmates in Lake County detention centers. It defines key terms such as "emergency medical transportation services," "health care provider," and outlines the compensation limits for these services. Specifically, it stipulates that compensation for health care providers without a contract with Lake County cannot exceed 110% of the Medicare allowable rate, with a potential increase to 125% for providers reporting a negative operating margin. Additionally, hospitals designated as trauma centers may receive compensation at 175% of the Medicare allowable rate for treating trauma alert victims, provided they also lack a contract with the county.

Furthermore, the bill sets a similar compensation limit of 110% of the Medicare allowable rate for entities providing emergency medical transportation services to inmates without a contract. It clarifies that these provisions do not apply to charges for medical services rendered at hospitals operated by Lake County. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law.
