(1) the office; or
(2) a contractor of the office;
for eligible services provided by qualified medical personnel (as defined in IC 11-10-3-1) to provide behavioral health services to a committed offender held by the department of correction if the secretary determines that the waiver is necessary to claim any enhanced federal matching funds available for the Medicaid program or programs funded through Medicaid.
