I've worked with PHS in the past. They were a contracted vendor providing physician, physician assistant, specialty referral, and other services excluding nursing. PHS only lasted a few years at our jail, then were ousted in favor of another vendor when their contract was up. The actual employees of PHS weren't bad to work with really, but you have to remember that they are in it for the $$$. That's what that type of managed health care is all about; providing adequate/acceptable care with the least amount of expense possible. While our facility had good PHS personnel who were willing to work with us, I heard of other facilities in our state that had nothing but headaches working side by side with them. They don't provide nursing services in our area, but it seems like they have a fairly high turnover rate with their other employees, so I would personally question accepting employment with them. In the smaller scheme of things, it usually depends on your immediate boss whether you will like it or not. Our current contracted administrator is outstanding, but past ones have been less than desirable. Good luck.
