Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

55 ILCS 5/5-37006

(55 ILCS 5/5-37006) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-37006)

Sec. 5-37006. Reimbursement for cost of services.

In relation
to inpatient hospital services provided at any health care facility
maintained by the Commission to any person under the legal custody of the
Sheriff of Cook County pending trial the Commission may obtain
reimbursement from the confined person to whom the services were provided
for the cost of such services to the extent that such person is reasonably
able to pay for such care, including reimbursement from any insurance
program or from other medical benefit programs available to such person.
If such person has already been determined eligible for medical assistance
under the Illinois Public Aid Code at the time the person is initially
detained pending trial, the cost of such services, to the extent such cost
exceeds $2,500, shall be reimbursed by the Department of Healthcare and Family Services under
that Act.  A reimbursement under any public or private program authorized
by this Section shall be paid to the Commission to the same extent as would
obtain had the services been rendered in a non-custodial environment.

This Section does not apply to services provided to any person who
has been convicted of or has pleaded guilty to an offense and is held in
custody pending sentencing or under sentence of the court.
