An interesting discovery, Washington County is getting reimbursed by the state of Tennessee for nearly $50,000 of past inmate medical expenses that were part of a massive past due bill from Ballad Health.The county eventually settled with Ballad on the more than $2 million of past due bills for care of inmates, paying $478,515 earlier this summer. Sexton’s administration discovered the past due bills dating back to at least 2018 when he took office after the Washington County Commission appointed him in November 2021.
