(1) The IDCMP shall determine whether or not to allow the client to participate in the session; and
(2) If the client is not allowed to participate in the session, the IDCMP shall:
a. Require the client to restart the program beginning with the missed session; and
b. Charge the client an additional fee of no more than 50% of the original IDEP fee, regardless of which session the client restarts.
(e) If, during the intake interview, the client reveals that he or she is currently taking a mood-altering medication under a physician's direction, or if, during the course of an IDEP session, a client appears impaired as a result of taking prescribed medication, the provider shall request a written assessment from the prescribing physician regarding whether the client will be able to benefit from the program content while under the influence of such medication.
(f) If the physician's assessment in (e) above indicates that the client is unable to participate in the program, the client shall not be allowed to enter or continue the program until such time as he or she obtains medical clearance, at which point the client shall enter the program or begin the program anew at a scheduled first session. The client shall either be refunded the IDEP program fee or not be charged an additional fee to begin the program anew.
