 Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services spokeswoman
Annie Thompson says the checks that began bouncing last month are
unrelated to the state budget crisis.The checks were issued by
St. Louis-based HealthLink. The health care network pays out
insurance claims for state employees and their dependents.
HealthLink spokeswoman Deborah Wiethop says an unknown number of
checks bounced throughout the state for about a week. But she says
the company confirmed Friday that the state has deposited money into
an account for health care payments.
Providers can submit for repayments on HealthLink's Web site,
http://www.healthlink.com/.
