As a special finding, the court must include in the sentencing verdict the determination of the monthly cost of long-term physical health care.

The court may from time to time, at the request of the defendant or the victim or of its own motion, issue a long-term physical care reimbursement order, or amend the existing long-term physical care reimbursement order to the amount of the monthly payments.
