(405 ILCS 5/5-106) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 5-106)
Sec. 5-106.
The rate at which sums for the services to recipients in a mental
health or developmental disabilities program of the Department is calculated
by the Department is the average per capita cost of the services to all such
recipients, such cost to be computed by the Department on the general average
per capita cost of operation of all State facilities for the fiscal year
immediately preceding the period of State care for which the rate is being
calculated, except the Department may, in its discretion, set the rate at a
lesser amount than such average per capita cost. The Department in its rules
and regulations may establish a maximum rate not to exceed the rate set by
the Office of Health Finance for the cost of services furnished to persons in
mental health or developmental disabilities programs involving residential
care. If a recipient is placed in a residential program or facility outside
the Department, the ability of responsible relatives to pay these costs shall
be determined under Section 5-116 of this Act. The Department
may supplement the contribution of these persons to private facilities after
all other sources of income have been utilized, provided responsible relatives
do not contribute to actual cost of services in excess of amounts charged to
responsible relatives as established under Section 5-116 of this Act. The
Department shall make an annual report to the Commission on Mental Health and
Developmental Disabilities setting forth proposed changes in rules and
regulations relating to Sections 5-105 through 5-115 and summarizing all
amounts expended by
the Department on behalf of recipients in private facilities. The Department
may pay the actual costs of services or maintenance in such facility and may
collect reimbursement for the entire amount paid from the recipient, or an
amount not to exceed the amount listed in Section 5-106 of this Act from
responsible relatives according to their proportionate ability to contribute
to such charges. Lesser or greater amounts may be accepted by the Department
when conditions warrant such action or when offered by persons not liable
under this Act. The amounts so received shall be deposited with the State
Treasurer and placed in the Mental Health Fund.
