# Inmate health care contracts: Centurion (medical), MHM (mental health and dental) and CorrectRx (pharmacy)

- Agency: Georgia Department of Corrections
- Requested by: Georgia Prisoners' Speak
- Request: R032595-101926
- Filed: 2026-10-19
- Status: Fulfilled (GDC released 35 files on October 27, 2026 and 11 more on October 28, 2026. Not published by GPS because they list individual employees: Centurion's staffing workbook "GA-MED Productive hours compared to Matrix Jul25-Dec25" (it names each employee and gives pay rates), Centurion's medical site contact list, and MHM's dental staff contacts.)
- Cost: $0.00 (No fee was charged.)
- Page: https://gps.press/records/r032595-101926/

We asked the Georgia Department of Corrections for its inmate health care contract with Centurion of Georgia, with every amendment and staffing plan; Centurion's most recent staffing report; and any list of Centurion staff by facility.

GDC released 46 files. They cover three contracts: Centurion's medical contract (effective April 9, 2024, priced in the contract at $240,000,000 a year for 38,000 people at July 2024 rates); the mental health and dental contract held by MHM Correctional Services, which has been owned by Centurion Equity since January 2023; and the CorrectRx pharmacy contract. They also include the earlier Wellpath medical contract. GDC first released the Wellpath contract in place of Centurion's; after we pointed that out, it released the Centurion contract and the missing amendments the next day.

We are publishing 43 of the 46 files as released. Three files list individual Centurion and MHM employees, one of them with pay rates, and we are not publishing those. From Centurion's staffing workbook, one of the three, we publish the hours by prison, position and month, with no names.

## What we asked for

> Under the Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 et seq., The GDC Accountability Project, Inc. (Georgia Prisoners' Speak), a Georgia nonprofit, requests the following existing records about the Department's inmate health care contract with Centurion of Georgia, LLC.
> 
> 1. The current contract or contracts between the Department and Centurion of Georgia, LLC for inmate health care services, including medical, mental health and dental care, with all amendments, renewals, exhibits and attachments. That includes any staffing plan or staffing matrix listing the required positions by facility.
> 
> 2. The most recent monthly staffing, vacancy or fill-rate report that Centurion submitted to the Department under that contract, showing filled and vacant positions by facility. One month is enough.
> 
> 3. Any existing list of Centurion personnel currently assigned to Department facilities, showing each person's name, job title and assigned facility, for example a list kept for facility access, identification badges or credentialing. Under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70(b)(2), this includes such a list kept by Centurion in performing the contract on the Department's behalf.
> 
> We are not asking for patient information. We are not asking for home addresses, dates of birth or other personal identifying details, and we understand those may be redacted. We are not asking the Department to create new records. If this request turns out to be large, please produce item 1 first.
> 
> Electronic delivery through this portal or to accountability@gps.press is ideal. We agree to reasonable copying and administrative fees up to $50.00; please let us know before going over that amount, with the itemization described in O.C.G.A. § 50-18-71(d). We understand and accept redactions required by law.

## What happened

- 2026-10-27: We wrote back that one file was GDC's earlier contract with Wellpath, not Centurion's, and asked for the Centurion base contract, Centurion Amendments 1, 2 and 4, the exhibits Amendment 3 lists, and MHM Amendments 10 and 12.

Records requested under the Georgia Open Records Act (O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 et seq.), by Georgia Prisoners' Speak or, where a page says so, by another person or group who shared them with GPS. Documents marked "as released" are posted exactly as the agency released them. Files marked "prepared by GPS" are GPS's own compilations of those documents, made for convenience; where they differ, the released document governs. A request is published here when GPS cites it or when its records are useful to readers; records about individual deaths are published on GPS's mortality pages, not here.
