Our Mission

Healthcare doesn't stop at the gate — and neither do we.

The Inmate Health Access Program (IHAP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit embedded inside correctional facilities across Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. We connect justice-involved individuals to real healthcare coverage — ACA marketplace plans and Medicaid — before they walk out the door.

Every year, 7 million Americans cycle through the justice system with no health coverage waiting on the other side. Without a doctor, a prescription, or a plan, many return within weeks. IHAP breaks that cycle. We enroll individuals during custody so coverage activates the moment they're released — at no cost to them, ever.

This isn't charity. It's infrastructure. When people have healthcare, they don't come back. IHAP saves lives, reduces recidivism, and relieves the financial burden on facilities, counties, and taxpayers alike.

🏥
Healthcare Enrollment at Transition
We enroll individuals during incarceration so ACA or Medicaid coverage is active the day they're released — zero gap, zero delay, zero cost to the individual.
🔄
Breaking the Cycle of Recidivism
People without healthcare reoffend at dramatically higher rates. Studies show up to 80% reduction in reoffense when continuity of care is in place at reentry.
🤝
A Partnership That Benefits Everyone
Facilities reduce costs. Counties save on emergency services. Carriers build their membership. Individuals get a real shot. IHAP is the bridge that makes it all work.

Proven Results in the Field
54 active counties. 9,217 active lives connected. $5.9M in documented county savings from Lee County, FL alone. IHAP rides alongside HealthCred as it expands — this isn't a pilot, it's a working system.
How It Works

From custody to covered — in three steps.

IHAP is embedded directly inside facilities. Our team works alongside facility staff to identify, enroll, and activate coverage — so no one slips through the cracks at release.

1
Identify & Enroll
Inside the facility, IHAP staff identify uninsured individuals and guide them through ACA or Medicaid enrollment. Most qualify immediately. No cost. No paperwork burden on the facility.
2
Coverage Activates at Release
Plans are structured to activate the moment someone walks out. No waiting period. No coverage gap. A doctor, prescriptions, and mental health support are available from day one.
3
Ongoing Reentry Support
IHAP's team follows up post-release to ensure coverage stays active, appointments are made, and individuals remain connected to care — not the cycle.
4
Already-Insured Population
For individuals who already have coverage, IHAP ensures their plan remains active through the transition — managing AOR assignments so benefits don't lapse at the worst possible moment.
Individuals
Leave with real healthcare coverage. A doctor on day one. A chance that actually lasts.
Facilities
Reduced uncompensated care costs. Healthier populations. A reentry partner that delivers.
Counties & Taxpayers
Lower ER utilization. Fewer returns. Lee County documented $5.9M in savings in year one.
Communities
Safer neighborhoods. Productive citizens. Health equity that reaches the people most left behind.

"When someone walks out of a facility with no ID, no insurance, and no doctor — they come back. We break that cycle."
