the institution may be cost-shared even though the medical services were
furnished in an unauthorized institution for which benefits cannot
be extended.
2.0 EXCLUSION

or any other care that falls under the waiver of liability provision.

institutional or those rendered by an authorized professional provider
who is not employed or contracted with the institution.
