The State of Illinois is unique in the fact that there are two coalitions working on a BTE implementation.

The Tri-State Health Care Coalition (www.tri-statehealthcare.com) is based in Quincy, Illinois, a small city on the state’s western border. The coalition’s service area is a 50-mile radius from Quincy, which includes sections of Missouri and Iowa as shown in the table below.

Tri-State and its member employers are working to implement the DCL and CCL in their area. Because of the city's small size and the coalition's access to claims data, local administration of BTE will be handled by the coalition itself.

Illinois Counties
Adams, Pike, Brown, Hancock, Schuyler, Scott, Morgan, Cass, McDonough & Calhoun.
Iowa Counties
Lee
Missouri Counties
Marion, Ralls, Pike, Shelby, Lewis, Clark, Knox, Monroe, Scotland & Audrain

The second coalition in the market is The Heartland Health Coalition (www.hhco.org), an employer-led coalition covering central and southern Illinois, including the cities of Peoria, Bloomington, and Decatur. The coalition’s 48 member employers represent a total of 360,000 covered lives in the following counties.

Illinois Counties

Bond, Bureau, Cass, Champaign, Christian, Clark, Clay, Coles, Crawford, Cumberland, De Witt, Douglas, Edgar, Edwards, Effingham, Fayette, Ford, Franklin, Fulton, Hamilton, Henderson, Henry, Iroquois, Jasper, Jefferson, Knox, LaSalle, Lawrence, Livingston, Logan, Macon, Marion, Marshall, Mason, McDonough, McLean, Menard, Mercer, Montgomery, Morgan, Moultrie, Peoria, Piatt, Putnam, Richland, Rock Island, Sangamon, Shelby, Stark, Tazewell, Vermillion, Wabash, Warren, Wayne, White, Woodford

The coalition is currently working to secure employer commitment to participate in the BTE initiative.
