Agency: Corrections Line Item: Department Medical Services Function The Utah Department of Corrections' Division of Medical Services provides medical care for incarcerated inmates in secure facilities that are owned, operated or contracted by the state. Inmates are treated by UDC doctors, nurses, dentists and aides, as well as through contracts with private health care providers such as the University of Utah Medical Center. Some of the more specialized medical treatment provided to inmates is conducted through telemedicine and telepsychiatry services.
UDC is required by federal law to provide medical, dental and mental health care to those incarcerated by the state. The Division of Medical Services provides health care at the Draper prison. Medical services at other facilities are provided through contractual arrangements. Health care provided at the Gunnison prison is reflected in the Gunnison facility budget. The Division provides mental health services and a comprehensive array of treatment alternatives to offenders who are mentally ill or suffering from emotional problems. Services include crisis intervention, acute care, residential, and outpatient services. The Bureau is accredited by the National Commission on Correctional Health Care. During FY 2013 and after, the Department expects to use state funds to leverage federal medicaid funds to cover some medical expenses. Statutory Authority This program activity is governed by: - UCA 62A-15-605.5 addresses mental health services;
- UCA 64-13-26 authorizes the use of private providers for services that the Department cannot provide directly;
- UCA 64-13-36 authorizes the testing of prisoners for AIDS and HIV infections;
- UCA 64-13-39 requires the Corrections Clinical Services to be accredited by the National Commission for Correctional Health Care.
Intent Language Under Section 63J-1-603 of the Utah Code, the Legislature intends that the appropriations provided for the Utah Department of Corrections Department of Medical Services in Item 17 of Chapter 11 Laws of Utah 2012 not lapse at the close of Fiscal Year 2013. The Legislature intends that the Department of Corrections (DOC) develop several options to measure performance for the Medical Services line item and submit these to the Executive Offices and Criminal Justice Subcommittee for review and input during one of the 2013 interim meetings. After receiving input from the Subcommittee, DOC is to report measures annually to the Subcommittee. The legislature intends that the Department of Corrections may expend up to $625,000 to draw down Federal Medicaid dollars via the Department of Health for medical payments. If passed, the Legislature intends that a portion of the $2,000,000 ongoing funds transferred from the Programs and Operations line item to the Medical Services line item recommended by the Legislative Fiscal Analyst be used for mental health treatment and services. Performance The Department submits the following performance data for the Medical Services line item.
