Doctors and hospitals that treat people in immigration detention have gone about a year without being paid. Now ICE plans to keep the company hired to fix that problem for up to four more years, without taking bids from anyone else.

A new ICE document says Acentra Health could hold the contract through October 2030. ICE blacked out every dollar figure. The company had already been paid $44.6 million as of June, according to @washingtonsun.com , while providers had received nothing.

Ugh. Over the summer, Acentra said they weren't hired to actually process claims. (Not what the justification for last year's no-bid contract said.) And IHSC provider training slides show the system they "built out" is eCAMS HCE, the same system the VA already paid Acentra $57M to make.
