REMAINDER OF PAGE INTENTIONALLY BLANK AGREED TO AND ACCEPTED AS STATED ABOVE: City of Augusta, Georgia Correct Care Solutions, LLC By: _ Name: Title: Date: By: _ Name: Chris Bove Title: President Date: Public Safety Committee Meeting 1/10/2017 1:05 PM Motion to Approve Amendment for Inmate Medical Contract Department:Richmond County Sheriff’s Office Presenter: Caption:Motion to an amendment and renewal for the Inmate Medical Contract for the Richmond County Sheriff's Office to Correct Care Solutions at a cost of $5,387,124.80 per year for a two-year renewal period. Background:Since pre-consolidation, the Richmond County Jail has provided a medical contract for inmates. In December 2010, the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office entered into a contract agreement with Correct Care Solutions. Since 2010, the Sheriff’s Office has had an increase in inmate population, medical cost increased, and has removed Blue Cross/ Blue Shield from the billing process. The amendment to the current medical contract provides Performance Guarantees, Caps on future pricing increases and other cost savings programs. The Richmond County Sheriff’s Office ultimately ended up with the following enhancements and improvements to the current contract. 1. Added Tele-medicine at no additional cost 2. On-Site Dialysis – only additional cost is the renting of the dialysis equipment. – should help in reducing off site dialysis treatments which can be very costly 3. Increased CCS’s per inmate cost liability from $1500 per inmate to $1800 per inmate annually – reducing RSCO’s projected annual liability by approximately $27k 4. Negotiated a renewal cap through 12/31/2018. Analysis:The annual operating budget of the Richmond County Sheriff's Office includes funding for the inmate medical contract each year. Financial Impact:The 2017-2018 Inmate Medical Contract total aggregate cap has been set at a fixed rate of $425,000 saving the RCSO in excess cap per inmate medical cost incurred. The Medical Contract will decrease the current medical services line items within the budget. Alternatives:NONE Recommendation:The Richmond County Sheriff's Office recommends that the Inmate Medical contract be amended and renewed to Correct Care Solutions for $5,387,124.80 a year. The contract will become effective on January 1, 2017 to December 21, 2018. Funds are Available in the Following Accounts: Funds should become available in account 273032511- 5317710/5317711 for the 2017 budget. REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY: Finance. Law. Administrator.
