433A.680 Payment of costs of medical services rendered by person not on staff of facility of Division. The expense of diagnostic, medical and surgical services furnished to a client admitted to a division facility by a person not on the staff of the facility, whether rendered while the client is in a general hospital, an outpatient of a general hospital or treated outside any hospital, must be paid by the client, the guardian or relatives responsible pursuant to NRS 433A.610 for the client’s care. In the case of an indigent client or a client whose estate is inadequate to pay the expenses, the expenses must be charged to the county from which the admission to the division facility was made, if the client had, before admission, been a resident of that county. The expense of such diagnostic, medical and surgical services must not in any case be a charge against or paid by the State of Nevada, except when in the opinion of the administrative officer of the division mental health facility to which the client is admitted payment should be made for nonresident indigent clients and money is authorized pursuant to NRS 433.374 or 433B.230 and the money is authorized in approved budgets.

NRS 433A.690 Claim against estate of deceased client. Claims by a division mental health facility against the estates of deceased clients may be presented to the executor or Administrator in the manner required by law, and shall be paid as preferred claims equal to claims for expenses of last illness. When a deceased person has been maintained at a division mental health facility at a rate less than the maximum usually charged, or the facility has incurred other expenses for the benefit of the person for which full payment has not been made, the estate of the person shall be liable if the estate is discovered within 5 years after the person’s death.
