Instead, pursuant to Kansas Law K.S.A. 22-4612, all off-site medical services shall be initially paid by the Department of Corrections and then reimbursement sought for all fees paid from the inmate receiving the services. Medical Services shall not be denied due to an inability to pay the fees or past failures to make reimbursement of off-site medical fees.

Fees will be assessed for certain programs (Work Release, etc.). These fees and the payment schedule are explained to the inmate when screened for the program.
