135H.10 RULES. 1. The department of inspections and appeals, in consultation with the department of human services and affected professional groups, shall adopt and enforce rules setting out the standards for a psychiatric medical institution for children and the rights of the residents admitted to a psychiatric institution. The department of inspections and appeals and the department of human services shall coordinate the adoption of rules and the enforcement of the rules in order to prevent duplication of effort by the departments and of requirements of the licensee. 2. This chapter shall not be construed as prohibiting the use of funds appropriated for foster care to provide payment to a psychiatric medical institution for children for the financial participation required of a child whose foster care placement is in a psychiatric medical institution for children. In accordance with established policies and procedures for foster care, the department of human services shall act to recover any such payment for financial participation, apply to be named payee for the child's unearned income, and recommend parental liability for the costs of a court-ordered foster care placement in a psychiatric medical institution. 3. Except for those psychiatric medical institutions for children which are specialized to provide substance abuse treatment, unless expressly authorized in statute, the department of human services shall not include services provided by psychiatric medical institutions for children in any managed care contract.          Section History: Recent Form 89 Acts, ch 283, § 11; 2001 Acts, ch 135, §30
