Dec. 27, 2022, 2:33 p.m.For the second time this year, the Alabama Department of Corrections has picked a Tennessee-based company to provide healthcare services at its 27 facilities.
YesCare Corp., based in Brentwood, Tenn., was picked over three other companies that submitted proposals. The ADOC said it would negotiate with YesCare and release information about the contract once it is final. The four-and-a-half-year contract is scheduled to take effect April 1. The ADOC had issued a request for proposals on Sept. 26. Besides YesCare, the other companies that sent proposals were Centurion, Vital Core, and Wexford.
Wexford is the current provider. Wexford employees who work in ADOC facilities will be offered jobs with YesCare, the ADOC said. ADOC Commissioner John Hamm said an RFP committee evaluated the proposals and picked YesCare based on a combination of quality, cost, and experience. YesCare has more than 40 years of correctional healthcare experience at more than 475 facilities across the country, the ADOC said.
