BOP Program Statement 6701.01 § 9
U.S. PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE OFFICERS
U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) Commissioned Officers should refer to the Commissioned
Corps Personnel Manual for established policy and procedures covering the provision of health
care services for active duty commissioned officers.
The Bureau will provide only first aid care services to PHS officers on-site.
P6701.01 8/30/2013 10
First aid care services are inclusive of any immediate medical treatment following an
occupational exposure to a bloodborne pathogen (i.e., hepatitis B or C, HIV).
Following first aid care, PHS officers will receive follow-up treatment by a Military Treatment
Facilitator or primary care provider, whichever is appropriate.
PHS officers will also be included in any follow-up contact investigations for possible exposure
to an infectious disease.
PHS officers do not qualify for Workers’ Compensation benefits. However, when a traumatic
injury occurs while a PHS officer is performing his/her duties, the Safety Manager will record
the incident in the OSHA 300 Log.
