Section 7.505 - Placement of Out-of-state Children in Medical Institutions
(1) Placement of a child in a medical institution of whatever kind in another state is a placement within the meaning of the Interstate Compact unless the room, board, care and supervision provided at the medical facility are merely incident to medical or psychiatric treatment which the child is receiving, and are to be terminated when the child's medical or psychiatric treatment ends.
(2) Placement in a home for unwed pregnant mothers is a placement within the meaning of the Interstate Compact if the purpose of the facility is to meet the expectant mother's social and emotional needs as well as to provide room and board during pregnancy. Only if the home's services are primarily medical and are confined to the period of the actual delivery and customary post-delivery stay is the placement outside the Compact.
