31-165. Inmate medical services; rate structure
If an inmate in a county jail in a county with a population of more than two hundred fifty thousand persons or a person who, but for the circumstances, would otherwise be treated in the county jail requires health care services that the county jail cannot provide, the county shall pay claims approved by the county from a facility or provider that provides these services, unless otherwise provided by an intergovernmental agreement, as follows:
1. For inpatient and outpatient hospital services, the county shall reimburse at a level that does not exceed the reimbursement methodology established pursuant to section 36‑2903.01, subsection G.
2. For health and medical services, the county shall reimburse at a level that does not exceed the capped fee‑for‑service schedule that is adopted by the Arizona health care cost containment system administration pursuant to title 36, chapter 29, article 1 and that is in effect at the time the services are delivered.
