8 Sec. 5. The University may establish and collect charges
9 for hospital services rendered in the University of Illinois
10 Hospital or in connection with a University health care

12 services rendered in connection with a University health care
13 program at the University of Illinois Hospital or elsewhere
14 by the Doctors of Medicine, or the Doctors of Dentistry, or
15 other health care professionals who are members of the
16 University faculty, charges for such professional services
17 shall not be established or collected by the University or
18 the University of Illinois Hospital but may be by said
19 members of said faculty who render such services under a plan
20 or plans organized and administered by them. All such charges
21 shall be deposited in a special fund or funds in the treasury
22 of the University. The billing, collecting and disbursing of
23 any such fund shall remain exclusively under the supervision
24 and control of such faculty under a plan or plans established

27 provided no charges may be made or collected until such plan
28 has been approved by the University. However, no person shall
29 make or collect a personal or professional charge for his own
30 account for treating, caring for or nursing a patient in the
31 University of Illinois Hospital or in connection with a

2 the University from approving a plan under which any such
3 fund in the University treasury may be utilized in paying the
4 University salaries of such faculty members, or from
5 assisting in the billing and collection of professional
6 charges if all University costs in connection therewith are
7 paid from the charges so collected.
