Except for mental health expenses covered under § 67:55:04:03 and the costs of medications related to the treatment of a mental condition, payment for medical expenses is limited to those medical services provided during the 12-month period immediately following the date the crime occurred. The department may extend this 12-month period if good cause is shown. If requesting an extension, the claimant must provide written and signed documentation from the attending physician that explains the needed medical service and the reason the service cannot be provided within the 12-month period.
