Registros estaduais mostram que a empresa começou a receber fundos do Medicaid em junho de 2020 e continuou pelo menos até maio de 2026. Esther Acheampong atua como presidente, enquanto seu marido Robert, um criminoso condenado, compartilha o mesmo endereço por meio de sua empresa de contabilidade, a Scabeda.
