Morgan County commissioners voted unanimously to award jail medical services to Comprehensive Correctional Care (CCC) at a special meeting called after the county's current jail physician notified officials she would resign because of a dramatic increase in her malpractice insurance.
The sheriff told commissioners the physician’s contract will end Jan. 31 and the county needed a replacement in place before that date to ensure continuity of care and insurance coverage. The sheriff introduced Blake Wiseman of CCC, saying the company already serves multiple jails in Indiana and Kentucky and is used locally by Monroe and Hendricks counties.
The board discussed the business and legal terms before taking the vote. The sheriff said the county will see substantial savings under the CCC proposal compared with the current arrangement: the pair cited the county’s current provider invoicing roughly $3,628.75 per month (about $43,545 annually) versus CCC’s proposed medical-services fee of about $8,000 annually, which the sheriff characterized as roughly $32,000 in savings.
Blake Wiseman, introduced as an owner with CCC, told the board that CCC can operate with the county’s existing electronic medical-records system or on paper if necessary and that CCC has worked with the EMR vendor in the region. “As far as [the EMR vendor] is involved, they’ve worked really well with us over the past five, six years,” Wiseman said.
County legal counsel reviewed the CCC agreement and indicated she was comfortable with the legal terms after negotiating changes; the board was told business-term questions could be addressed with the sheriff. An unidentified commissioner moved to adopt the agreement for correctional facility health care services with CCC; the motion was seconded and passed on a 3–0 vote.
After the vote the sheriff publicly thanked attorney Anne Gallagher and Wiseman for expedited work to prepare the contracts.
The commissioners did not specify an implementation schedule at the meeting beyond saying the county needed a contract in place before the physician’s Jan. 31 departure. The board adjourned after also taking action on a separate medical-records services agreement.
