returned to Families & Children (H)
Summary
The bill amends state law so the Office for Children with Special Health Care Needs can only accept a child for care if the child's parents or legal guardian are unable to pay for the treatment, except when no adequate services exist in the area. In those cases a doctor must refer the child and the parents must reimburse the office for all costs. If parents can only cover part of the expense, they must pay what they can and those funds go toward the child's care.
