What American Correctional Solutions does

American Correctional Solutions (ACS) is a private, Veteran-Owned, California Certified Small Business Corporation that delivers on-site healthcare services and staffing to government correctional, behavioral, and public health agencies. Founded in 1985 and headquartered in Irvine, California, the company operates from a service office at 741 East Ball Road, Suite 101, Anaheim, CA 92805 and has executed over 150 contracts with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) since inception. Its customer base spans federal agencies (Federal Bureau of Prisons, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Department of the Air Force), state corrections and health departments (Washington DOC, Utah DOC, Arizona DHS, California Department of State Hospitals, California Department of Juvenile Justice), and county sheriff and health agencies in California and Oregon.

ACS's service portfolio comprises five integrated lines: On-Site Physician Clinics (specialists such as Optometrists, Orthopedists, OB/GYNs, and Dermatologists deployed into institutions), a HIPAA-compliant Telemedicine platform supporting Live Encounters and Store & Forward modalities across Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Psychiatry, Dermatology, and other specialties, Digital Radiology & Ultrasound (Dicom X-Ray conversion and remote radiologist interpretation), turnkey Dialysis operations licensed by the California Department of Health Services, and Healthcare Processes Consulting covering case management, utilization review, EMR, pharmacy, and budget optimization. The underlying technology stack consists of an Electronic Medical Records system, the telemedicine platform, and digital radiology infrastructure, with no disclosed AI/ML components.

ACS makes money through professional-services healthcare staffing (temporary, long-term, and permanent placement of physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, dentists, and ancillary staff) and managed-services contracts (dialysis, radiology, telemedicine). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the company holds a GSA Federal Supply Schedule under VA FSS section 621I (Contract # V797D-40149) enabling pre-approved federal procurement. Most contracts are awarded through competitive RFP processes with federal, state, and county entities, supported by an enterprise field sales motion and a dedicated recruiting and executive team with over 75 years of combined law enforcement and healthcare expertise led by CEO Barry Goldstein.
