PURPOSE AND SCOPE: 
To establish procedures for providing patient care, urgent medical, psychiatric and dental 
services. This institution supplement must be read in conjunction with Program Statement 
6031.01 for a clear understanding of policy. 
In accordance with BOP policy, each inmate will be evaluated on an individual basis to afford 
privacy. The only exceptions to this policy are: (1) unless there is a life threatening emergency, 
another inmate will be used as a translator. (2) In cases when the provider requires the presence 
of a chaperone. 
All inmates have access to Bureau health care services. The Bureau will charge $2 a copayment 
(co-pay) fee for inmate requested visits to health care providers (sick call). Inmates will not be 
denied access to necessary health care because of an inmate's inability to pay the co-pay fee.
