 7 2. Each incarcerated individual shall be required to sign a log docu-
 8 menting the scheduled time of visit, inmate name and ID number and

 12 response to inmate queries.
 13 4. Each incarcerated individual shall be sent an account statement at
 14 the end of each month showing all credits and debits against the account

 18 pending receipt of funds sufficient to satisfy their obligation.

 20 of ability to pay co-payment charges. The charge is assessed after
 21 completion of the visit when the visit log is processed.
 22 7. Incarcerated individuals are not assessed co-payment charges for
 23 psychiatric visits.
