L'Ohio verse des millions à une entreprise liée à des condamnations pour crime

Le programme Medicaid de l'Ohio a versé plus de 5,7 millions de dollars à Omega Healthcare Services depuis 2020. L'entreprise est enregistrée au nom d'Esther Acheampong, dont le mari, Robert, a été condamné par le passé pour détournement de fonds publics. Ces paiements se poursuivent alors que des questions se posent quant à la surveillance des prestataires de soins à domicile.

Omega Healthcare Services exerce ses activités depuis un bureau fermé à Columbus et fournit des services de soins à domicile aux personnes âgées. Les registres de l'État montrent que l'entreprise a commencé à recevoir des fonds de Medicaid en juin 2020 et a continué à en percevoir au moins jusqu'en mai 2026. Esther Acheampong occupe le poste de présidente, tandis que son mari Robert, un criminel condamné, partage la même adresse par le biais de leur cabinet comptable Scabeda.
