Illinois Law Restricts Out-of-State Access to Abortion, Gender Dysphoria Records
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker signed the Reproductive Health Records Privacy Act on June 24, 2025, requiring abortion services and gender dysphoria diagnoses to be separated from patients' electronic medical records and limiting disclosure to out-of-state entities. The law takes effect July 1, 2027. Healthcare providers, including Medicaid managed care organizations, must implement new record-keeping protocols to segregate these specific health information categories and establish controls preventing out-of-state disclosure.
Illinois Medicaid MCOs must develop new health information management systems to segregate reproductive health records and implement compliance protocols for multi-state coordination requests, affecting care coordination, third-party liability processes, and data sharing agreements.
