§299.1040. Computing Monthly Costs of Services Charges

The liability of recipients and the estates of recipients for services shall be computed in the following manner:

 

a)         Monthly liability established against a service recipient in order to secure care is determined by multiplying the per diem rate for the secure residential care service provided by the number of actual days of service received by the person during the month.  The per diem rate will be recalculated annually.

 

b)         Monthly liability established against a service recipient ordered to conditional release is determined by calculating the actual cost of services provided during that month.  The phrase "actual cost" includes both the administrative costs associated with maintaining the service recipient on the conditional release program and the total cost of supporting the person in the community, which includes, but is not limited to:

 

1)         sex offender specific treatment and ancillary services;

 

2)         transportation costs;

 

3)         food and groceries;

 

4)         medical/dental care;

 

5)         housing and utilities;

 

6)         polygraph and/or drug testing;

 

7)         electronic monitoring/surveillance costs;

 

8)         spending cash;

 

9)         cell phone and other methods of maintaining contact; and

 

10)         any other costs incurred specific to the service recipient.
