Sec. 67a.
(1) A prisoner who receives nonemergency medical, dental, or optometric services at his or her request is responsible for a copayment fee to the department for those services, as determined by the department. If the prisoner is a minor, the prisoner's parent or guardian is also responsible for a copayment fee imposed under this section.
(2) A prisoner who intentionally injures himself or herself, and receives emergency medical care for that injury, is responsible for the entire cost of the medical care, rather than the copayment described in subsection (1).
(3) The department shall determine whether those prisoners who injure themselves intentionally shall be housed in a facility designed to allow on-site medical treatment of those injuries. Not later than 6 months after the effective date of this section, the director of the department shall report to the legislature on the feasibility and cost of implementing this subsection.
