(3) Fees and third-party reimbursements, including all amounts paid pursuant to Title XIX of the Social Security Act by the Department of Human Services, for services rendered by the community mental health and developmental disabilities program and interest earned on the funds shall be retained by the program and expended for any service that meets the standards of the department.
