§ 16-28-7-4 — Placement costs for monitors who are not state employees

(a) A health facility shall pay the costs of
placing a monitor who is not a state employee in the health facility
under this chapter unless it is determined by a final order under IC 4-21.5 that the placement of the monitor was not needed. The state
shall reimburse the costs if it is determined the monitor is unneeded.
(b) If the state department has reason to believe that the health
facility is not financially able to pay the cost of a monitor in the health
facility and the health facility and office of Medicaid policy and
planning verify the health facility's insolvency, the state department
may authorize money from fines paid under this article to be used to
pay the costs of placing a monitor who is not a state employee in the
health facility.
