RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and the
Clerk of the Council to renew the agreement with Correctional Managed Care
Medical Corporation for a one-year period to provide on-site inmate medical
care for the Santa Ana Jail in an amount not to exceed $1,036,406.
DISCUSSION
In October 2004, the City Council approved a one-year agreement with two
one-year renewal options with Correctional Managed Care Medical Corporation
(CMCMC) to provide on-site medical care for Santa Ana Jail inmates. The
agreement provides on-site medical staff 24 hours a day, in addition to a
doctor on call. CMCMC conducts daily sick calls, dispenses medication, as
well as assists in the intake of incoming inmates to assess for entrance
acceptability. Additional services such as dental care, radiology,
ophthalmology, OB/Gyn, psychiatric crisis intervention and emergency
medical billing services are also included. These medical services are
required and governed by State law under the California Department of
Corrections Title 15 requirements.
CMCMC has performed satisfactorily during the previous term and staff
recommends exercising the first year renewal option of the agreement.
Their understanding of the jail operations and the contracting housing
agencies has resulted in a high level of service.
