A. Subject to subsection C of this section, the Department of Human Services is authorized to enter into contracts for the provision of inpatient specialized rehabilitative and related services which qualify as medical assistance under Title XIX of the Social Security Act for eligible persons having a traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury.
B. The Department of Human Services shall conduct a study in consultation with the Advisory Council on Traumatic Spinal Cord and Traumatic Brain Injury within the State Department of Health and then make recommendations to the Commission for Human Services for the establishment of a rate or other form of adequate payment for contracts with facilities, other than general acute care hospitals, providing inpatient specialized rehabilitative and related services for persons having a traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury.
C. If the results of the study required by subsection B of this section demonstrate that making such services available to said persons would result in an overall lower cost for providing services to this population than current service delivery practices, the Department shall enter into contracts with specialized facilities that meet such standards as the Board of Health shall require for certificate of need and licensure under provisions of Title 63 of the Oklahoma Statutes, Section 1-850 et seq. and Section 1-1901 et seq., respectively. Standards for licensure promulgated by the Board of Health for specialized facilities serving persons with traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury shall, to the maximum extent feasible, correspond substantially to the standards of the Council on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities for such or similar facilities and services.
