Medicaid Ohio bayar jutaan dolar kepada perusahaan yang terkait dengan kasus kejahatan

Program Medicaid di Ohio telah membayar lebih dari 5,7 juta dolar AS kepada Omega Healthcare Services sejak tahun 2020. Perusahaan tersebut terdaftar atas nama Esther Acheampong, yang suaminya, Robert, memiliki catatan hukuman pidana atas pencurian uang negara. Pembayaran terus dilakukan meskipun muncul pertanyaan mengenai pengawasan terhadap penyedia layanan kesehatan di rumah.

Omega Healthcare Services beroperasi dari sebuah kantor terkunci di Columbus dan menyediakan layanan kesehatan di rumah bagi para lansia. Catatan negara bagian menunjukkan bahwa perusahaan tersebut mulai menerima dana Medicaid pada Juni 2020 dan berlanjut setidaknya hingga Mei 2026. Esther Acheampong menjabat sebagai presiden, sementara suaminya, Robert, seorang narapidana, berbagi alamat yang sama melalui firma akuntansi mereka, Scabeda.
