In a declaratory judgment action, the plaintiff insurance company sought a declaration that the amount of uninsured motorist bodily injury coverage limit in its policy should be reduced by the amount that was paid to the insured’s medical providers by the insured’s employer. The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of the insured and the policy holder appealed. The appellate court affirmed, finding that the insurer was entitled to a setoff for the payments under section 22-306 of the Pension Code. (LAVIN, concurring and PUCINSKI, dissenting)
