R398-20-5. Hardship, Extenuating Circumstances

Latest version.

(1) An eligible child shall not be denied service because of a family's inability to pay. The provider may waive all or part of the fee if there are extenuating family circumstances that affect a family's ability to pay, such as long-term hospitalization of a family member, casualty loss, moving expense, or other unusual expenses.

(2) If a family is able to pay, but chooses not to pay, the Department may instruct the local early intervention program to withhold fee eligible services.
