Stava-Murray supports HB5393 to revise regulations for limited health service organizations

Rep. Anne Stava-Murray (D-81st) cast a Yes vote on HB5393, which sought to revise regulations for limited health service organizations during the 104th General Assembly on May 31, 2026. The Illinois House approved the measure, with the bill passing by a 116-0 margin.

The bill summary describes the measure as follows: "LIMITED HEALTH SERVICE ORGS."

This overview is derived from the official bill text and incorporates interpretation where necessary to clarify its provisions.

Broadly, HB5393 updates language and rules pertaining to limited health service organizations (LHSOs) that provide point-of-service agreements. It specifies which services qualify as in-plan or out-of-plan covered care and refines terminology for limited health care plans. The legislation removes the requirement for LHSOs to offer a separate annual maximum benefit allowance of up to $2,500 for out-of-plan services. It modifies enforcement of out-of-plan spending limits so that if more than 20% of total limited health service expenditures in a quarter go to out-of-plan care, related penalties and compliance statutes do not apply, provided the LHSO maintains necessary capital and surplus standards for life, accident and health insurers.

The official action taken for HB5393 was recorded as 'Senate Floor Amendment No. 1 House Concurs.'

Stava-Murray earned her bachelor's degree from Dartmouth College in 2008.

Stava-Murray, a Democrat, has represented Illinois' 81st House District since her election in 2019, succeeding former representative David S. Olsen.

In Illinois, legislation moves through a multi-step legislative process involving committee scrutiny, public debate, and votes in both chambers, before it is forwarded to the governor for possible approval or veto. The General Assembly meets biennially and often considers thousands of bills each session, with only a portion progressing to become state law.
