YesCare

What YesCare does

YesCare is a privately held U.S. correctional healthcare provider founded in 1984, headquartered in Brentwood, Tennessee (with corporate operations in Texas), and operating across more than 125 locations and 475+ correctional facilities serving over 1,000,000 cumulative patients. The company delivers integrated physical healthcare, behavioral health, reentry, crisis intervention (24/7 hotline at 1-870-YES-CARE), telehealth/telepsychiatry, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and infectious disease management services to incarcerated populations under government contracts with state and local correctional agencies.

YesCare's technology stack centers on a correctional healthcare management platform comprising a provider portal for claims submission and status checking, an electronic claims integration via Availity (Payer ID: 43160), a reentry online portal with searchable community provider mapping, a mobile app, telehealth infrastructure, and proprietary operational frameworks including YesCareSMARTER and an industry-first Lean Six Sigma certification partnership with goLeanSixSigma. The company participates in a federally qualified Patient Safety Organization (Center for Patient Safety) for quality data privilege, and maintains NCCHC, ACA, and PREA accreditations with a stated 100% accreditation success rate. The company emerged from the lineage of Corizon Health (predecessor Tehum Care Services), and YesCare filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on May 8, 2026 following a significant malpractice verdict and financial mismanagement, with at least two client jurisdictions transitioning to replacement providers.

YesCare generates revenue almost exclusively through multi-year managed services contracts with state and local government correctional agencies, supplemented by transaction-fee revenue from claims processing for community providers delivering services to YesCare patients. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, consistent with B2G contracting; non-contracted community providers are reimbursed at rates comparable to state and federally funded payers. The go-to-market motion is direct enterprise sales to government procurement entities, with the company bidding for contracts that increasingly bundle reentry programming as a differentiator. The customer base is concentrated entirely within the U.S. government corrections vertical.
