Sec. 13. (a) The court shall determine what part of the cost of care or treatment ordered by the court, if any, the individual with a communicable disease can pay and whether there are other available sources of public or private funding responsible for payment of the individual's care or treatment. The individual with a communicable disease shall provide the court documents and other information necessary to determine financial ability. If the individual with a communicable disease cannot pay the full cost of care and other sources of public or private funding responsible for payment of the individual's care or treatment are not available, the county is responsible for the cost. If the individual with a communicable disease:
(1) provides inaccurate or misleading information; or
(2) later becomes able to pay the full cost of care;
the individual with a communicable disease becomes liable to the county for costs paid by the county.
(b) Except as provided in subsections (c) and (d), the costs incurred by the county under this chapter are limited to the costs incurred under section 1.5 of this chapter.
(c) However, subsection (b) does not relieve the county of the responsibility for the costs of an individual with a communicable disease who is ordered by the court under this chapter to a county facility.
(d) Costs, other than costs described in subsections (b) and (c) that are incurred by the county for care ordered by the court under this chapter, shall be reimbursed by the state under IC 16-21-7 to the extent funds have been appropriated for reimbursement.
