medical or surgical treatment, and such | 3 | | consent shall be
deemed to be the consent of the person for | 4 | | all purposes,
including, but not limited to, the authority | 5 | | of a physician

committed person's individual | 22 | | account.
A committed person who has a chronic illness, as | 23 | | defined by Department rules
and regulations, shall be exempt | 24 | | from the $5 co-payment for treatment of the

forth in Section 3-2.5-15 of this Code, is exempt from the
| 12 | | co-payment requirement for the duration of confinement in those | 13 | | facilities.
| 14 | | (f-5) In the event that a person receives medical care and | 15 | | treatment at a place other than the Department of Corrections | 16 | | or Department of Juvenile Justice institution or facility, the | 17 | | institution or facility shall: | 18 | | (1) contact the hospital or medical facility that is | 19 | | treating the person prior to the person's visit, except in | 20 | | situations of a medical emergency; | 21 | | (2) provide 2 guards to accompany the person at all | 22 | | times during the visit to the hospital or medical facility; | 23 | | (3) ensure the person is wearing security restraints on | 24 | | wrists and ankles at all times; and | 25 | | (4) prevent anyone from visiting the person, except | 26 | | medical personnel, unless death is imminent.

and | 17 | | Family Services for suitable placement of the child outside
of | 18 | | the Department of Corrections. The Director of the Department
