LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — A new company will soon take over inmate medical care at Louisville Metro Department of Corrections after the jail cut ties with their last provider amid financial and contract concerns.
Officials announced Comprehensive Correctional Care will handle medical services for inmates over the next year. The move follows the jail’s decision to end its agreement with YesCare, who filed for bankruptcy May 8.
LMDC also accused YesCare of violating terms of its contract, though they did not publicly explain what those violations involved.
The new agreement is a temporary solution while the jail searches for a long-term provider. Over the next year, LMDC officials plan to seek proposals from companies interested in securing a permanent contract.
