Page 3 of 3 § 10:69-3.15 Deprivation of parental support or care (AFDC-C) i. The client is fearful of undergoing treatment, although such fear may appear to be unrealistic or emotional in origin or even irrational, if it is intense enough to adversely affect the result of treatment and a physician recommends against it; ii. The client might suffer loss of a faculty, or the residual use of a remaining faculty, and he or she is unwilling to take the risk; iii. The client has religious convictions that do not, in his or her judgment, permit him or her to undergo the recommended treatment; or iv. The resistance to treatment is an element of the defect, illness or impairment itself. 4. An individual cannot be required to undergo treatment as a condition of eligibility. (i) An incapacitated parent should be advised of services available through the social service unit and in the community. (j) Payment for medical expenses incurred on behalf of an AFDC-C-related Medicaid (incapacitated) applicant in the determination of initial eligibility shall be the responsibility of the CSSA and made from the administration account. The CSSA shall advise the physician that payment of the fee will be at the applicable rate contained in the schedule of fees for professional and diagnostic services set forth at N.J.A.C. 10:54-9.
