• Offenders committed to the custody of the Department of Correction and Rehabilitation (DOCR) and receiving medical treatment paid for by the budget of that department;
• Medical treatment expenses covered by Workers' Compensation;
• Medical treatment expenses covered by personal medical insurance;
• Medical treatment expenses covered by the Federal Government; and
