If an inmate of a county jail requires medical, dental, optometric, chiropractic, or psychiatric care, the medical provider shall submit the claim for costs of the services to any available insurer, prior to submitting the claim to the county. If the claim is denied, or no insurer is available, the medical provider may submit the claim to the county for payment with any applicable proof of denial. If the county pays the claim, it is entitled to seek payment pursuant to § 24-11-21 .
