What Mediko does

Mediko is a private, for-profit healthcare services company headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, founded in 1996 by Kaveh Ofogh, who continues to serve as Founder & CEO. According to the company's firmographic profile, Mediko delivers cost-effective medical services inside correctional facilities, a niche outsourced-healthcare segment where private vendors supply clinical, pharmaceutical, and operational support to jails, prisons, and detention centers on contract with state, county, and federal agencies.

The company operates with a headcount of 251-500 employees, placing it in the mid-sized band for U.S. correctional healthcare providers. Its core service offering is operational delivery of inmate medical care rather than a software, device, or pharmaceutical product; no specific products, technology platforms, integrations, AI capabilities, patents, certifications, or pricing models are disclosed in the available source data. The company website (medikoinc.com) was inaccessible at the time of data collection, returning only a verification/loading page, which limited enrichment of the public profile.

Mediko's revenue model and contract structure are not detailed in the available sources. There is no disclosed information on funding history, ownership structure, M&A activity, regulatory actions, partnerships, awards, geographic footprint beyond the U.S., marketing channels, or specific customer contracts. As a result, while the company's functional positioning in correctional healthcare is clear, deeper business mechanics such as pricing, customer concentration, growth trajectory, and competitive positioning cannot be evidenced from the input.
