Terms Used In Illinois Compiled Statutes 215 ILCS 134/95

  • Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed.
  • Indemnification: In general, a collateral contract or assurance under which one person agrees to secure another person against either anticipated financial losses or potential adverse legal consequences. Source: FDIC
     No health care plan or its subcontractors by contract, written policy, or procedure shall contain any clause attempting to transfer or transferring to a health care provider by indemnification, hold harmless, or contribution requirements concerning any liability relating to activities, actions, or omissions of the health care plan or its officers, employees, or agents. Nothing in this Section shall relieve any person or health care provider from liability for his, her, or its own negligence in the performance of his, her, or its duties arising from treatment of a patient. The Illinois General Assembly finds it to be against public policy for a person to transfer liability in such a manner.
