PHOENIX — A company that just took over health care for Arizona prison inmates in July has already been fined $10,000 by the Arizona Department of Corrections and is also accused of improperly dispensing medicine and wasting state resources.
Pittsburg-based Wexford Health Sources Inc., was fined for the actions of a nurse who caused a hepatitis C scare in August at the Arizona State Prison Complex-Lewis in Buckeye, and for failing to properly report the problem to authorities.
A sharply-worded letter to the company from the department also called on the company to fix staffing problems, properly distribute and document medication for inmates, show a sense of urgency and communicate better with the state when problems occur.
