A managed health care entity providing services under this Article V may not engage in door-to-door marketing activities or marketing activities at an office of the Illinois Department or a county department in order to enroll recipients in the entity's health care delivery system. The Department shall adopt rules defining "marketing activities" prohibited by this Section. Before a managed health care entity providing services under this Article V may market its health care delivery system to recipients, the Illinois Department must approve a marketing plan submitted by the entity to the Illinois Department. The Illinois Department shall adopt guidelines for approving marketing plans submitted by managed health care entities under this Section. Besides prohibiting door-to-door marketing activities and marketing activities at public aid offices, the guidelines shall include at least the following: (1) A managed health care entity may not offer or provide any gift, favor, or other inducement in marketing its health care delivery system to integrated health care program enrollees. A managed health care entity may provide health care related items that are of nominal value and pre-approved by the Department to prospective enrollees. A managed health care entity may also provide to enrollees health care related items that have been pre-approved by the Department as an incentive to manage their health care appropriately. (2) All persons employed or otherwise engaged by a managed health care entity to market the entity's health care delivery system to recipients or to supervise that marketing shall register with the Illinois Department. The Inspector General appointed under Section 12-13.1 may conduct investigations to determine whether the marketing practices of managed health care entities providing services under this Article V comply with the guidelines.
