1. A person diagnosed by a physician as having end-stage renal disease may apply to the department for financial assistance from the program for expenses related directly or indirectly to the illness.
2. The type and amount of financial assistance provided shall be determined by an evaluation of the patient's medical and financial status pursuant to the rules of the department.
3. The department may approve an application for financial assistance if the applicant meets the eligibility requirements for the program and if funds are available.
4. The department may deny an application for financial assistance or may suspend or revoke existing financial assistance for an applicant or patient if the department determines that the applicant or patient is not eligible pursuant to the rules of the department. The denial, suspension, or revocation of financial assistance is not a contested case until the action is appealed to the committee as provided by rule.
