§43A-4-203.
   
   The Commissioner, with the approval of the Board may issue regulations
   authorizing the superintendent of an institution in which a patient is
   held to charge on a sliding scale or waive the liability of the
   patient and his estate for his care and treatment, if it is determined
   that he is unable to pay the full amount for such care and treatment,
   or that he is an indigent person as defined in this title. Before any
   charge for care and treatment is placed on a sliding scale or waived
   there must be a written report which indicates the assets, liabilities
   and income and the number of dependents of the patient, any charges to
   be placed on the sliding scale or waiver of a patient's indebtedness
   for care and treatment, and the reasons for the placement on the
   sliding scale or waiver. It must be signed by the person designated by
   the superintendent granting such placement on the sliding scale or
   waiver. It must also be filed with the patient's records at the
   institution. For the purpose of determining the financial status or
   ability to pay of a patient, his estate, or persons liable for the
   patient's care and treatment, the Oklahoma Tax Commission is directed
   to furnish to the Commissioner, or some person designated by him, upon
   request, such information as may be of record in the Commission
   relative to patients, and their estates.
