When the community certifies to the secretary of the Department of Health that it has paid in full the amount for which it is obligated, the secretary shall pay to the physician assistant or nurse practitioner, an amount equal to the total midlevel tuition reimbursement amount provided by the community. The secretary shall pay the required amount out of funds appropriated by the Legislature for such purpose. Reimbursement shall be paid upon the physician assistant's or nurse practitioner's completion of the required three-year practice period. However, a community may pay its share of midlevel tuition reimbursement in installments during the three-year period.
