Long before the Presentence Interview (PSI),

  • Preparation for what is to come includes understanding the Four Levels of Medical Care and providing all relevant information clearly defined before the interview,
  • No matter how insignificant or long-ago the medical care was, it should be seriously considered for inclusion.

They range from

  • CARE LEVEL I (for the healthiest)
  • CARE LEVEL II, similar to a well-staffed Internal Medicine Practice
  • CARE LEVEL IV (those needing inpatient care 24/7/365)
  • CARE LEVEL IIII, outpatient care will suffice for those who do not qualify for 24/7 Nursing.

The Caveat:

  • While documented, BOP Policies and Procedures only work if implemented or enforced.
  • Even a Comprehensive PSI won’t guarantee that you will be designated appropriately or receive the necessary Medical Care.
  • Still, an option is provided through The Administrative Remedy Process (which the BOP encourages), possibly followed by Compassionate Release through the Second Look Act.

2nd Opinions: Yes, although

  1. This could take three years if allowed and
  2. The BOP Clinical Director for your facility Does Not Have to Follow the specialist’s recommendations.
    • The BOP also determines whether a defendant has any medical or mental healthcare needs that will affect their placement. To the extent it will happen, continuity of care in the BOP depends on comprehensive preparation for the Presentence Interview, followed by verifying the final Presentence Report for accuracy.
    • This cannot be over-emphasized.
