The Department will reimburse health care providers under contract with the county for all necessary medical expenses or reimburse the county if the county has made payment to the provider.

(b) Whenever an offender who is confined by the court as part of a disciplinary sanction requires extensive medical treatment, the court may enter an order for transfer of the offender to the Department for treatment. In such cases, the Division will notify the Deputy Director of Medical Services of the Department. The Division will obtain the approval of any medical services prior to any movement of the offender and will advise the court of the approved medical arrangements. The Deputy Director of Medical Services will notify the Division upon completion of medical treatment. In the event time remains on the disciplinary sanction, the Division will arrange for the return of the offender to the facility which was holding the offender prior treatment.
