Una empresa de Columbus propiedad de una pareja con múltiples condenas penales ha facturado casi un millón de dólares a Medicaid de Ohio por servicios de atención domiciliaria. True Home Healthcare LLC recibió pagos a pesar de las restricciones en las licencias de enfermería de sus propietarios y de las dudas sobre el trabajo realizado.

True Home Healthcare LLC opera desde un edificio de oficinas en Columbus donde una nota en la puerta indicaba que el personal estaba en un descanso. Los registros de Medicaid señalan a Mamusu Kanu como propietaria, aunque los documentos de constitución nombran en su lugar a su marido, Alieu Conteh. La empresa facturó 936.000 dólares al programa entre mayo de 2021 y octubre de 2024 mientras atendía a una lista constante de cerca de una docena de pacientes.
