__________

Sec. A18-42. Compromising claims.

The Director, personally or through an assistant or employee so designated, is authorized to recommend to the County Executive compromising claims for services received from SCVMC, and may recommend agreements with patients or their legally responsible relatives or executors or administrators for the payment of less than the amount owed where full payment would result in hardship or indigency for the spouse or minor child or children of the patient; provided, however, that in recommending compromising any such claims, said Director shall give precedence to hospital care, treatment and supplies over medical services rendered in prescribing payment requirements. Final authority to compromise any such claim rests with the Board of Supervisors.

(Ord. No. NS-300.597, § 2, 5-13-97)
