impairment to bodily functions, the chief administrative
officer may authorize such medical or surgical treatment.

treatment at a place other than the institution or facility,
the person may be removed therefrom under conditions prescribed
by the Department. The Department shall require the committed

from the $2 co-payment for treatment of the chronic illness. A
committed person shall not be subject to a $2 co-payment for
follow-up visits ordered by a physician, who is employed by, or
contracts with, the Department. A committed person who is
indigent is exempt from the $2 co-payment and is entitled to
receive medical or dental services on the same basis as a
committed person who is financially able to afford the
co-payment. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
subsection (f) to the contrary, any person committed to any
