BOP Program Statement 6032.01 § 2
PAYMENT FOR HEALTH CARE SERVICES
(b) Generally, if you are an inmate as described in § 549.71, you must pay a fee for health
care services of $2.00 per health care visit if you:
(1) Receive health care services in connection with a health care visit that you requested,
(except for services described in § 549.72); or
(2) Are found responsible through the Disciplinary Hearing Process to have injured an
inmate who, as a result of the injury, requires a health care visit.
The inmate presents with an acute exacerbation of a chronic condition, provided there
is prior documentation indicating resolution of the acute episode between visits.
If an inmate is evaluated by more than one provider during a health care visit, the inmate will
only be charged for one visit.
Inmates will not be charged a copay fee for a medical evaluation requested by non-clinical staff
if the condition is not an emergency (e.g., injury assessment before placement in the Special
Housing Unit (SHU), evaluation for hunger strike, restraint check).
