Sumter County, South Carolina

October 05, 2017
Sheriff Anthony Dennis
Sumter-Lee Regional Detention Center
1250 Winkles Road
Sumter, South Carolina 29150
Dear Sheriff Dennis,
Southern Health Partners, Inc. (SHP) thanks you for the allowing us to propose an enhancement to our
rnrrpnt inmate mPdical rrogram at the Sumter-Lee Re?ion al Detention Center. \f\./e understand a
significant factor in inmate healthcare revolves around more than just the medical aspect, but mental
health as well. With this in mind, we are proposing an amendment to our current program for the
addition of mental health coverage within the Sumter-Lee Regional Detention Center.
SHP uses a team approach for mental health services on-site, starting at the patient intake. Our medical
staff will work as a bridge in caring for those in our custody and assist with discharge planning as they
transition back to the community with follow-up and public health resources.
We are proposing a Qualified Mental Health Professional (QMHP) to work up to 4 hours each week to
evaluate medications, assess inmates for suicide prevention, counsel inmates as nee_ded, and otherwise
assists the nurse administrator with mental health care. This staff member will also assist in t he
discharge planning by ensuring adequate attention, assistance, and care are the primary focuses to
ensure the patient is assisted to succ~ed. These services will be provided via a telehealth link wit) a
Qualified Mental Health Provider. The! QMHP w ill serve as the liaison between the facility, patien s,
t heir families, community based organizations, mental health co urt, and veterans court to advocate or
the needs of mentally ill patients.
All inmates will be evaluated for mental health problems eit her t hrough intake screen ing, during thei r
history and physical, or by the inmate's own request t hrough a sick call.
Inmates exhibiting
problematic/questionable behavior may be seen sooner, and inmates exhibiting severe psychiatric
disturbances will be seen immediately. Psychotropic medications, when used, w ill be monitored closely
for patient compliance . Any needed lab testing will be done under Provider's order to ensure
therapeutic levels are met and are stable. Outside referrals for t reat ment plans may be necessary given
t he patient' s condition and/or diagnosis. If an outside mental health provider is engaged by the County
fo r provision of services, we will coordinate our w ork with t hem.
SHP has established a written plan for identifying and responding to suicidal individuals within the
facility. All SHP medical personnel and facility correctional officers will be trained in suicide prevention
techniques. The plan established will incorporate recognizing and responding to suicidal individuals and
the components will include but not be limited to training, intake screening, monitoring,
communication, intervention and critical incident debriefing.
W e understand the importance of timeliness when it comes to certain mental health conditions found
within the facility, so we utilize the latest technology and efficiency to inmate healthcare and provide
Telemedicine services that offer live interactive, face-to-face digital consultations w hich may include the
following clinical scenarios:
•
•

Psychiatric consultation and treatment
Therapeutic counseling

•

Medication management and
recommendations

SHP has found the use of telemedicine services, as a supplement to on-site provider staffing, helps
eliminate barriers due to distance as well as improves access to ce rtain providers not consistently
available to our incarcerated population .
Other benefits to using telemedicine include:
•
•
•
•

Potent ial reduction in ER visits or hospitalizations
Better access and delivery of behav ioral health resources
Increased quality of care for patients
Reduction of delays due to inclement weather

All equipment for this use will be provided by SHP, we only ask the County t o provide access and use of
a wi-fi connection. Use of such services can allow for greater access to care while minimizing an outside
visit and security constraints.

Annualized Base Price

Monthly Price

$12,578.76

$1,048.23

QMHP on-site up to 4 hours/week
+ Telemedicine Services

Our annualized price to furnish the proposed ln enta l health coverage is $12,587.76 ($1,048.23 per
mont h) in addition to the current contract price.
The flexibil ity of t his service allows us to monitor the efficie ncy and adjust w here needed. We will
provide quart erly repo rting as to patients being seen, t here by keeping you and t he County aware of
service provisions. Fo r any needs of outside evaluations, we would place those charges in the Cost Pool.
W e bel ieve that an efficient, high-quality menta l health prog ram has been detailed in t his let ter. We are
prepar ed to discu ss any aspects of the program, its cost, or alternatives with representatives of Sumter
Co unty at any time. Than k you for your time in reviewing this and we should an yt hing f urther be
needed from SHP, please do not hesitate to reach ou t t o us.

Dear Bobby:
SHP continues to be a proud partner with Sumter County and the Detention Center Administration in
providing for the delivery of inmate health services. I am writing this letter to acknowiedge renewal of the
Health Services Agreement for the 2017-2018 contract period.
Keeping in mind our last annual price increase was in 2013, it will be time for an annual adjustment this
year to help us keep up with costs. In South Carolina, with nurse wages having risen considerably, we
have had to offer higher pay rates exceeding our site budget in order to be competitive with local area pay
for nurses. The increase will help us recoup some of these costs, plus many of our other operating
expenses have continued to steadily increase over time, inciuding those related to insurance,
administration and travel. We remain committed to staffi,19 the facility with well-qualified corrections
nurses and providing an exemplary program of care.

\f\Je have planned on

3 3% infistionary increase for 2017-2018. Please iook ~er the r:ionth!y billings to
adjust accordingly in Hne V,"ith the renewal. The new per dieITl and base contra.ct 2rno 1_wt 2m noted below

Dear Mr. Galloway:
I appreciate the opportunity to work with Sumter County on finalizing the contract
relationship between the County and Southern Health Partners.
I have enclosed two signed original contract forms for review. This contract is
the same form I used for the attachment to the first response to the RFP last
year. I cleaned up the language in Section 7.2 covering the payment of a per
diem amount for excess over 550. I eliminated the requirement for a per diem
payment since we did not a~ree to that.
Also, I noted an error in Section 1.5 covering the Cost Pool accounting.
However, since I had submitted this contract as a part of the bid document, I will
honor the draft contract requirement that we repay to Sumter County any part of~ the $75,000 cost pool amount that is not used for the cost of items covered by
that section.
The other changes made related to the dates of the Agreement and pro-rating
the base price, etc. Please let me know if you would like to discuss any of the
items contained in the contract. We look forward to the February 1st start date.
Please return an executed copy to:

statement of reasons to County in the event:

10

(i)

the safety and security of SHP personnel is determined by
SHP, in its sole discretion, to be compromised, either as a
direct, or indirect, result of County's failure to provide adequate
security services, the provision of which is a continuing
precondition of SHP's obligation to perform work under this
Agreement, or

(ii)

County fails to compensate SHP for charges or fees due,
either in whole, or in part, under this Agreement, according to
the terms and provisions as stated herein.
However, upon notice by SHP of any actions or circumstances
constituting Cause under (i) or (ii) above, County shall have twentyfour (24) hours after notice to propose a remedy to cure such
actions or circumstances, and if the proposed remedy is acceptable
to SHP, County shall have up to thirty (30) days either to implement
the remedy or to make substantial progress toward completion of
the rrmedy, depending upon the complexity of the rtmedy,
following delivery of written notice by SHP setting forth the ctions
or circumstances constituting Cause. In all cases, performance
under'this Agreement may be susperided immediately by SHP, if,
in SHP's sole discretion, such immediate suspension of services is
necessary to preserve !he safety and well-being of SHP personnel.
However, SHP shall be obligated to give notice of the reasons for
suspension and allow County tv.tenty-four (24) hours to propose a
remedy to cure such actions or circumstances.
Upon such a termination for Cause, County acknowledges that,
SHP shall be entitled to all compensation fees and charges due for
services rendered hereunder, without penalty or liability to SHP, up
through and including the last day of services, and further that,
County shall be obligated to compensate SHP accordingly for such
services rendered up through and including the last day of services,
consistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. If any
costs relating to the period subsequent to such termination date
have been paid by County in the case of (i) above, SHP shall
promptly refund to County any such prepayment.

(c)

Termination by Cancellation. This Agreement may be canceled
without cause by either party upon sixty (60) days prior written
notice in accordance with Section 9.3 of this Agreement.

II

(d)

Annual Appropriations and Funding. This Agreement shall be
subject to the annual appropriation of funds by the Sumter County
Council. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in
the event funds are not appropriated for this Agreement, County
shall be entitled to immediately terminate this Agreement, without
penalty or liability, except the payment of all contract fees due
under this Agreement through and including the last day of service.

6.3
Responsibility for Inmate Health Care.
Upon termination of this
Agreement, all responsibility for providing health care services to all inmates, including
inmates receiving health care services at sites outside the Jail, shall be transferred from
SHP to County.
ARTICLE VII: COMPENSATION.
7.1
Base Compensation. County will compensate SHP based on the twelvemonth, annualized price of $630,346.32 during the initial term of this Agreement,
payable in monthly installments. Monthly installments based on the twelve-month,
annualized price of $630,346.32 will be the amount of $52,528.86 each. SHP will bill
County approximately thirty days prioI to the month in which services are to be
rendered. County agrees to pay SHP prior to the tenth day of the month in which
services are rendered. In the event this Agreement should commenc;e or terminate on
a date other than the first or last day of any calendar month, compensation to SHP will
be prorated accordingly for the shortened month.

r

7.2
Increases in Inmate Population. County and SHP agree that the annual
base price is calculated based upon an average daily inmate population of up to 350. If
the average daily inmate population exceeds 350 inmates for any given quarter, the
compensation payable to SHP by County shall be increased by a per diem rate of $0.31
for each inmate over 350. The average daily inmate resident population shall be
calculated by adding the population or head count totals taken at a consistent time each
day and dividing by the number of counts taken. The excess over an average of 350, if
any, for any given quarter will be multiplied by the per diem rate and by the number of
days in the quarter to arrive at the increase in compensation payable to SHP for that
quarter. In all cases where adjustments become necessary, the invoice adjustment will
be made on a subsequent quarterly invoice. For example, if there is an average
population for any given quarter of 355 inmates, resulting in an excess of five (5)
inmates, then SHP shall receive additional compensation of five (5) times the per diem
rate times the number of days in that quarter. The resulting amount will be an addition
to the regular base fee and will be billed on a subsequent quarterly invoice.

12

This per diem is intended to cover additional cost in those instances where
minor, short-term changes in the inmate population result in the higher utilization of
routine supplies and services. However, the per diem is not intended to provide for any
additional fixed costs, such as new fixed staffing positions that might prove necessary if
the inmate population grows significantly and if the population increase is sustained. In
such cases, SHP reserves the right to negotiate for an increase to its staffing
complement and its contract price in order to continue to provide services to the
increased number of inmates and maintain the quality of care. This would be done with
the full knowledge and agreement of the Detention Center Director and other involved
County officials, and following appropriate notification to County.
7.3
Future Years' Compensation. The amount of compensation (i.e., annual
base price and per diem rate as defined in Sections 7.1 and 7.2, respectively) to SHP
shall increase at the beginning of each contract year, with the exception of the first
renewal period effective July 1, 2015, for which there will be no overall price increase.
SHP shall provide written notice to County of the amount of compensation increase
requested for renewal periods effective on or after July 1, 2016, or shall otherwise
negotiate mutually agreeable terms with County prior to the beginning of each annual
renewal period.

l

7.4 Inmates From Other Jurisdicti ns. Medical care rendered within the Jail

Jail will be arranged by SHP, but SHP shall have no financial responsibility for such
services to those inmates.

SHP will be responsible for providing on-site medical services as reasonable and
appropriate to County inmates assigned to work release and/or release for community

SHP medical staff at the Jail. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement
to the contrary, SHP and County agree that County inmates assigned to work release,
including work for Sumter County agencies, are themselves personally responsible for
the costs of any medical services performed by providers other than SHP, when the
illness or injury is caused by and results directly or indirectly from the work being
performed, or when such illness or injury is treated while the inmate is on work release.
The costs of medical services associated with a particular illness or injury incurred by
an inmate while on work-release may be covered by workers' compensation, medical
insurance, accident insurance, or any other policy of insurance or source of payment for
medical and hospital expenses, but such costs shall not otherwise be the financial
responsibility of SHP. In all cases, SHP shall be responsible for providing medical care
for any inmate who presents to medical staff on-site at the Jail, including any inmate

as "County"), and Southern Health Partners, Inc., ~elaware corporation, (hereinafter
referred to as "SHP"), is entered into as of the / day of ,c;IY-..,,.,,.. ~

Services under this Agreement shall commence on February 1, 2007 and s11 continue
through June 30, 2008, in accordance with section 6.1.
WITNESS ETH:
WHEREAS, the County is charged by law with the responsibility for obtaining
and providing reasonably necessary medical care for inmates or detainees of the
Sumter-Lee Regional Detention Center facilities (hereinafter called "Jail") and,

WHEREAS, the County desires to provide for health care to inmates in
accordance with applicable law; and,
WHEREAS, County, which provides funding as approved by the Sumter County
Council for the Jail, desire to enter into this Agreement with SHP to promote this
objective; and,
WHEREAS, SHP is in the business of providing correctional health care services
under contract and desires to provide such services for County under the express terms
and conditions hereof.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises
hereinafter made, the sufficiency of which is acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:
ARTICLE I: HEALTH CARE SERVICES.
1.1
General Engagement. County hereby contracts with SHP to provide for
the delivery of all medical and dental services to inmates of Jail. This care is to be
delivered to individuals under the custody and control of the Jail, and SHP enters into
this Agreement according to the terms and provisions hereof. The following items are
hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement: a) RFP for Health Care
Services issued by Sumter County in August 2006; b) the RFP Addendum #1 dated
September 15, 2006; c) SHP's proposal dated September 15, 2006, (except for the
sections declared proprietary and confidential); and d) SH P's lstter of clarification dated
November 3, 2006.

1.2
Scope of General Services. The responsibility of SHP for medical care of
an inmate commences with the booking and physical placement of said inmate into the
Jail. SHP shall provide health care services for all persons committed to the custody of
the Jail, except those identified in paragraph 1.7. SHP shall provide on a regular basis,
at its own cost all professional medical, dental, and related health care and

2

administrative services for the inmates, regularly scheduled sick call, nursing care,
regular physician care, hospitalization, medical specialty services, emergency medical
care, emergency ambulance services when medically necessary, medical records
management, pharmacy services management, administrative support services, and
other services, all as more specifically described herein.
1.3
Specialty Services. In addition to providing the general services described
above, SHP by and through its licensed health care providers shall, at its own cost,
provide to inmates at the Jail specialty medical services including, but not limited to,
radiology services and laboratory services to the extent such are determined to be
medically necessary by SHP. Where non-emergency specialty care is required and
cannot be rendered at the Jail, SHP shall make arrangements with County for the
transportation of the inmates in accordance with Section 1.9 of this Agreement.
1.4
Emergency Services. SHP shall provide, at its own cost, emergency
medical care, as medically necessary, to inmates through arrangements to be made by
SHP.
1.5
Limitations On Costs - Cost Pool. SHP shall, at its own cost, arrange for
medical services for any inmate who, in the opinion of the Medical Director (hereinafter
meaning a licensed SHP physician), requires such care. SHP's maximum liability for
costs associated with the medical and de~al services for inmates rendered outside of
the Jail, for x-rays, and for prescription pha maceuticals for inmates, will be limited by a
pool established in the amount of $75,000 n the aggregate for all inmates in each year
of this contract. If the cost of all care as described in this paragraph 1.5 exceeds the
amount of $75,000 in any year, (defined as a 12 month contract period) then SHP will
refer all costs above this limit of $75,000 to County for payment directly to the provider
of care. If the cost of all care as described in this paragraph 1.5 is less than $75,000 in
any year, (defined as a 12 month contract period), then SHP will account for all the
applicable cost and reimburse County for the remainder. For the first contract period of
five months ending on June 30, 2007, the cost pool will be $31,250.
For purposes of this paragraph 1.5, the pool amount will be prorated for any
contract period of less than 12 months.
The intent of this Section 1.5 is to define SHP's maximum financial liability and
limitation of costs for pharmaceuticals, x-ray procedures, hospitalization, and all other
medical and dental services rendered outside of the Jail.
1.6
Injuries Incurred Prior to Incarceration; Pregnancy. SHP will not be
financially responsible for the cost of any medical treatment or health care services
provided to any inmate prior to the inmate's formal booking and commitment into the
Jail.

2

3

Furthermore, SHP is not financially responsible for the cost of services outside
the jail for any medical treatment or health care services provided to medically stabilize
any inmate presented at booking with a life threatening injury or illness or in immediate
need of emergency medical care.
Once an inmate has been medically stabilized and committed to the Jail, SHP
will, commencing at that point, then become financially responsible for the cost of all
medical treatment for health care services regardless of the nature of the illness or
injury or whether or not the illness or injury occurred prior or subsequent to the
individual's incarceration at the Jail. An inmate shall be considered medically stabilized
when the patient's medical condition no longer requires immediate emergency medical
care or outside hospitalization so that the inmate can reasonably be housed inside the
Jail.
It is expressly understood that SHP shall not be responsible for medical costs
associated with the medical care of any infants born to inmates. SHP shall provide
health care services to inmates up to, through, and after the birth process, but health
care services provided to an infant following birth, other than those services that may be
delivered in the jail prior to transport to a hospital, will not be the financial responsibility
of SHP. In any event, SHP shall not be responsible for the costs associated with
performing or furnishing of abortions of rny kind.
1. 7
Inmates Outside the Facilities. The health care services contracted in the
Agreement are intended only for those inmates in the actual physical custody of the
Jail. This includes inmates who are under guard in outside hospitals. Such inmates
are to be included in the daily population count. No other person(s), including those who
are in any outside hospital who are not under guard, shall be the financial responsibility
of SHP, nor shall such person(s) be included in the daily population count.
Inmates, for example, on any sort of temporary release or escape, including, but
not limited to inmates temporarily released for the purpose of attending funerals or
other family emergencies, inmates on escape status, inmates on pass, parole or
supervised custody who do not sleep in the Jail at night, shall not be included in the
daily population count, and shall not be the responsibility of SHP with respect to the
payment or the furnishing of their health care services.
The cost of medical services provided to inmates who become ill or are injured
while on such temporary release or work-release will not then become the financial
responsibility of SHP after their return to the Jail. This relates solely to the costs
relating to the particular illness or injury incurred while on such temporary release.

3

I

14
Persons in the physical custody of other police or other penal jurisdictions at the
request of County are likewise excluded from the population count and are not the
responsibility of SHP for the furnishing or payment of health care services.
1.8
Elective Medical Care. SHP is not responsible for providing elective
medical care to inmates, unless expressly contracted for by the County. For purposes
of the Agreement, "elective medical care" means medical care which, if not provided,
would not, in the opinion of SHP's Medical Director, cause the inmate's health to
deteriorate or cause definite harm to the inmate's well-being. Any referral of inmates for
elective medical care must be reviewed by County prior to provision of such services.
1.9
Transportation Services. To the extent any inmate requires off-site nonemergency health care treatment including, but not limited to, hospitalization care and
specialty services, for which care and services SHP is obligated to pay under this
Agreement, County will, upon prior request by SHP, its agents, employees or
contractors, provide transportation as reasonably available provided that such
transportation is scheduled in advance. When medically necessary, SHP shall arrange
all emergency ambulance transportation of inmates in accordance with Section 1.4 of
this Agreement.

provided or made available by SHP to render services hereunder shall be licensed,
certified or registered, as appropriate, in their respective areas of expertise as required

dissatisfied with any health care personnel provided by SHP hereunder, or by any
independent contractor, subcontractors or assignee, SHP, in recognition of the sensitive
nature of correctional services, shall, following receipt of written notice from County of
the grounds for such dissatisfaction and in consideration of the reasons therefor,
exercise its best efforts to resolve the problem. If the problem is not resolved
satisf3ctori 1y to County, SHP shall remove or shall cause any independent contractor,
subcontractor, or assignee to remove the individual about whom County has expressed
dissatisfaction. Should removal of an individual become necessary, SHP will be
allowed reasonable time, prior to removal, to find an acceptable replacement, without
penalty or any prejudice to the interests of SHP.

2.4
Use of Inmates in the Provision of Health Care Services. Inmates shall
not be employed or otherwise engaged by either SHP or County in the direct rendering
of any health care services.

Subcontracting and Delegation. In order to discharge its obligations
hereunder, SHP will engage certain health care professionals, such as physicians and
dentists, as independent contractors rather than as employees. SHP will not engage
nurses as independent contractors.
County consents to such subcontracting or
delegation. As the relationship between SHP and these health care professionals will
be that of independent contractor, SHP will not be considered or deemed to be
engaged in the practice of medicine or other professions practiced by these
professionals. SHP will not exercise control over the manner or means by which these
independent contractors perform their professional medical duties. However, SHP shall
exercise administrative supervision over such professionals necessary to insure the
strict fulfillment of the obligations contained in this Agreement. For each agent and
subcontractor, including all medical professionals, physicians, dentists and nurses
performing duties as agents or independent contractors of SHP under this Agreement,
SHP shall provide County proof, if requested, that there is in effect a professional
liability or medical malpractice insurance policy, as the case may be, in an amount'of at

employment because of race, religion, color, sex or national origin,
except where religion, sex or national origin is a bona fide occupational
qualification reasonably necessary to the normal operation of the
contractor.
b. In all solicitations or advertisements for employees, each will state that
it is an equal opportunity employer.

federal law, rule or regulation shall be deemed sufficient for the
