Yes, just saw this on the news too!!!
It's about time!!!

"Gov. Pritzker also signed House Bill 889 on Tuesday to help Illinoisans affected by Lyme Disease. It requires insurance companies to cover office visits, testing and treatment for tick-borne diseases like Lyme disease. Insurance coverage of tick-borne diseases takes effect immediately."
