El programa Medicaid de Ohio paga millones a una firma con vínculos a delitos graves

Español

El programa Medicaid de Ohio ha pagado más de 5,7 millones de dólares a Omega Healthcare Services desde 2020. La empresa está registrada a nombre de Esther Acheampong, cuyo esposo, Robert, tiene condenas previas por robo de fondos públicos. Los pagos continúan a pesar de los cuestionamientos sobre la supervisión de los proveedores de salud a domicilio.

Omega Healthcare Services opera desde una oficina cerrada en Columbus y brinda servicios de salud a domicilio para personas mayores. Los registros estatales muestran que la firma comenzó a recibir dólares de Medicaid en junio de 2020 y continuó recibiéndolos al menos hasta mayo de 2026. Esther Acheampong se desempeña como presidenta, mientras que su esposo Robert, quien tiene antecedentes penales, comparte la misma dirección a través de su firma contable, Scabeda.
