A. The board shall reimburse a healthcare provider who performs a forensic medical exam in the amount of six hundred dollars. The board shall reimburse the healthcare facility at which a forensic medical exam was conducted for the cost of performing the exam in the amount of one thousand dollars.
B. In order to be reimbursed for the costs of performing a forensic medical exam, the healthcare provider or the healthcare facility seeking reimbursement shall submit to the board an attestation that a forensic medical exam was conducted. The attestation shall contain only sufficient information to identify the victim, the date that the exam was performed, and the address to which payment can be made for the healthcare provider or healthcare facility. The board shall not require any billing documentation or medical records from the healthcare provider or the healthcare facility as a condition of payment under the provisions of this Section.
C. A request for reimbursement by a healthcare provider or healthcare facility for the performance of a forensic medical exam shall not constitute reparations and therefore shall be immediately payable and not require approval from the board as a condition of payment. The board shall direct payment to be made to a healthcare provider or healthcare facility no later than thirty calendar days from the date that the attestation is submitted to the board by the healthcare provider or healthcare facility.
