Title 36 – Are the counties responsible to pay for COE & COT?
It is not clear if the statutes create an obligation for a county to pay for inpatient treatment services or COT. Payment for pre-petition screening and COE services are clearly a county responsibility and the statutes make reference to that in a number of places. When it comes to COT and voluntary treatment, the statutes say the person shall be charged unless the person is indigent, and in that instance, the person is not obligated to pay. While it is clear that an indigent person is not required to pay for COT, the state statute is silent on who is required to pay for the COT when a person is indigent.
