or indemnification for services received from a hospital, doctor, or dentist,
required to be provided to an inmate by § 500-h of the Correction
Law of the State of New York.
If the inmate has such coverage, the Sheriff of Tompkins County shall
seek reimbursement for all services, medical or dental, rendered to such inmate
as required by said Correction Law.
