Motion to approve the renewal agreement for the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office Inmate Medical Contract
Department:Richmond County Sheriff's Office
Presenter:
Caption:Motion to approve the renewal agreement for the Richmond County
Sheriff’s Office Inmate Medical Contract Background.
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 experienced changes in inmate
population, medical cost increases, and has removed Blue Cross/ Blue
Shield from the billing process. On October 12, 2018, the evaluation team
rated the qualified vendors that submitted bids and discussions included,
inmate medical cost per day, staffing and benefits, and litigation. In
conclusion, WELLPATH formally known as Correct Care Solutions was
ranked as the most qualified vendor. The Sheriff’s Office is requesting the
approval for the contract renewal.
Analysis:The annual operating budget of the Richmond County Sheriff's Office
includes funding for the inmate medical contract each year. This renewal
will increase the annual contract.
Financial Impact:The inmate population in the jail is growing and medical services are
expanding. The change in contract would provide the mental health
provider that is currently needed at the jail. This one year extension will
increase the contract cost by $452,976.
Alternatives:None
Recommendation:The Richmond County Sheriff's Office recommends the renewal
agreement.
Funds are Available in
the Following
Accounts:
Funding will be requested in account 273032511-5317711 for the 2023
budget. The contract cost will increase in 2023 by $452,976.
