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