Whenever a non-resident patient as defined by State law is admitted to an Agency facility, every effort will be made to determine his place of legal residence. No such patient will be found eligible for either a deferred bill or a compromise settlement until all means of securing payment from the authorities at his place of residence have been exhausted and all such patients who are granted deferred or compromise status will be removed from the Agency as soon as other facilities can be found and the patient's condition permits such removal. As to psychiatric patients referred for Mental Health Services, County residence as defined in Welfare and Institutions Code or Health and Safety Code, shall not be required, but state residence as defined in the Government Code is sufficient for the patient's eligibility, deferred billing, or postponement of removal to place of residence.
