No prisoner shall be denied medical treatment by reason of indigency, but a prisoner may be required to pay for medical treatment as part of any reimbursement order entered by the sentencing court.
(2) Any copayment shall be collected by the jailer or his designee and, after it is properly accounted for, shall be paid to the appropriate local government authority.
