Are you looking to decrease inmate health care costs? According to a study by the National Association of Counties, inmate health care costs can range up to 30 percent of corrections spending.
Ninety percent of people who enter county jails have no health insurance. Additionally, jail inmates suffer from chronic health conditions at a higher rate than the general population and 64 percent experience mental illness.
These costs can range from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars for medical services that occur outside of your facility.
For example, taxpayers in one Florida county were billed almost $14 million by a local hospital for inmate health care visits.
We can help you limit, or avoid, these unexpected and catastrophic costs by enrolling your detainees and inmates in health insurance through the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
And, we provide this service to you, your county, and those individuals in your custody at NO COST to your office or county.
