IL| The Illinois Department of Insurance Bulletin 2026-03 updates who must file, how to file, and how to format Illinois insurance supplier diversity reports due on and after April 1, 2026, including coordination with existing rules and FAQs.​

Key Points:

  • Applies to authorized/accredited insurers, HMOs, limited health service orgs, dental service plan corporations, and accredited reinsurers with at least $50 million in net admitted assets, with specified exclusions (e.g., captives, fraternals, entities offering only Medicare Part C/D in Illinois).​
  • Reports must use the Department’s fillable PDF template from the Insurance Supplier Diversity webpage and be filed via SERFF under the designated Annual Reports / Supplier Diversity Report TOI and sub‑TOI, marked for public access.​
  • Detailed formatting rules govern how to list certifications (Question 3), state internal goals and program results by commodity/category and inclusion supplier type (Questions 4–5), and calculate overall inclusion‑supplier spend percentages.​
  • Question 6 is reserved for explaining unique circumstances or irregularities, and entities should also consult 50 Ill. Adm. Code 910 and posted FAQs.
