2006 New York Code - Contracts For Visiting Nursing Services.

 
    §  225-b.  Contracts  for  visiting  nursing  services.  The  board of
  supervisors of any county may, upon recommendation of the  county  board
  of  health, contract with any nonprofit institution or agency, wholly or
  partly under private control, organized to furnish visiting nursing  and
  public  health  services  and  agree  to  pay fees specified in the said
  contract for such services furnished to inhabitants of the  county.  Any
  fees  for  services  collected by the institution or agency for services
  rendered under such  contract  shall  be  credited  against  the  amount
  payable  by  the  county under the terms of the contract. Such contracts
  shall be effective only upon  approval  of  the  state  commissioner  of
  health  and the state comptroller. Such contracts shall provide that the
  contracting institution or agency will comply with all rules promulgated
  by the county health commissioner.    Such  boards  of  supervisors  are
  authorized  and empowered to appropriate the sums required to be paid to
  such institutions and agencies under the terms of such contracts and  to
  raise the amount thereof by taxation.
