TurnKey Medical & Mental Health

Oklahoma County Detention Center is proud to contract our medical services through Turn Key Health. Turn Key Health is experienced with managing the day-to-day medical operations in Oklahoma jails with inmate populations ranging from 60 to 2500 inmates. Their Oklahoma focus provides clients the assurance that Oklahoma statutes will be met without incurring unnecessary costs often associated with companies who implement a national “cookie cutter” program in order to meet various statutes and accreditation requirements of numerous states.

Patients requesting and/or receiving health services within the Oklahoma County Detention Center will be assessed appropriate medical fees for services. Health services will be rendered regardless of the patient’s ability to pay for the service. The fee(s) may be deducted from a resident's trust fund (commissary) account so long the deduction does not cause the balance in the account to fall below $6.00.
