(1) No child shall be accepted for care or treatment by the Office for Children with Special Health Care Needs if his parents or legal guardian are able to pay for such treatment, except where the child resides in an area of the state where adequate care and treatment are not otherwise available, in which event referral must be made by the doctor caring for the child and the parents or guardian shall reimburse the Office for Children with Special Health Care Needs for all cost expended by the office for treatment.
(2) In the event the Office for Children with Special Health Care Needs determines that the parents or legal guardian of a child with a disability can pay only a portion of the cost of treatment through their own resources or through resources available to them, such parents or guardian shall pay such sums as they are able to pay and the funds thus received shall be turned over to the Office for Children with Special Health Care Needs and applied to the cost of treatment and care of the child.
