Terms Used In Alabama Code 27-20A-4

  • year: means a calendar year; but, whenever the word "year" is used in reference to any appropriations for the payment of money out of the treasury, it shall mean fiscal year. See Alabama Code 1-1-1

When benefits are provided under this chapter, the benefits shall provide for a minimum of 30 days of inpatient treatment or its equivalent per calendar year with the equivalency to be computed based on a formula which equates two days of treatment in a short term residential alcoholism treatment facility to one day of inpatient treatment and which equates three sessions of outpatient treatment by a licensed doctor of medicine or an alcoholism treatment facility to one day of inpatient treatment.
