(1) As used in this section, "behavioral health services" means both voluntary and court-ordered services for the following programs:
(a) Regional behavioral health services pursuant to chapter 31, title 39, Idaho Code;
(b) Children’s mental health services pursuant to chapter 24, title 16, Idaho Code;
(c) Neurocognitive disorder services pursuant to chapter 21, title 56, Idaho Code; and
(d) Any other behavioral health program provided for by Idaho Code.
(2) Individuals receiving behavioral health services from the department may be charged for such services. The department shall serve as the payer of last resort in cases in which the individual qualifies for medicaid or has third-party coverage. The amount charged will be determined based on the cost of services and the individual’s ability to pay. In no case will the annual costs to parents or an adult patient exceed five percent (5%) of adjusted gross income of the family household, following all other coverage.
