§ 133.17 COSTS OF MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS.
   (A)   Any cost incurred by a hospital or other emergency medical facility in conducting a medical examination of a victim of an offense under any provision of §§ 133.02, 133.03, or 133.04 for the purpose of gathering physical evidence for a possible prosecution shall be charged to and paid by the appropriate local government as follows:
      (1)   Cost incurred by a county facility shall be charged to and paid by the county;
      (2)   Cost incurred by a municipal facility shall be charged to and paid by the municipal corporation;
      (3)   Cost incurred by a private facility shall be charged to and paid by the municipal corporation in which the alleged offense was committed, or charged to and paid
by the county, if committed within an unincorporated area. If separate counts of an offense or separate offenses under any provisions of §§ 133.02, 133.03, or 133.04 took place in more than one municipal corporation or more than one unincorporated area, or both, the local governments shall share the cost of the examination.
   (B)   Any cost incurred by a hospital or other emergency medical facility in conducting a medical examination and test of any person who is charged with a violation of R.C. §§ 2907.02, 2907.03, 2907.04, 2907.05, 2907.12, 2907.24, 2907.241, or 2907.25 or with a violation of a municipal ordinance that is substantially equivalent to any of those sections, shall be charged to and paid by the accused who undergoes the examination and test, unless the court determines that the accused is unable to pay, in which case the cost shall be charged to and paid by the municipal corporation in which the offense allegedly was committed, or charged to and paid by the county if the offense allegedly was committed within an unincorporated area. If separate counts of an alleged offense or alleged separate offenses under R.C. §§ 2907.02, 2907.03, 2907.04, 2907.05, 2907.12, 2907.24, 2907.241, or 2907.25 or under a municipal ordinance that is substantially equivalent to any of those sections took place in more than one municipal corporation or more than one unincorporated area, or both, the local governments shall share the cost of the examination and test. If a hospital or other emergency medical facility has submitted charges for the cost of a medical examination and test to an accused and has been unable to collect payment for the charges after making good faith attempts to collect for a period of six months or more, the cost shall be charged to and paid by the appropriate municipal corporation or county as specified in division (B) of this section.
