Ohios Medicaid betalar miljonbelopp till företag trots kopplingar till brottslighet

Svenska

Ohios Medicaid-program har betalat ut mer än 5,7 miljoner dollar till Omega Healthcare Services sedan 2020. Företaget är registrerat på Esther Acheampong, vars make Robert tidigare dömts för stöld av allmänna medel. Utbetalningarna fortsätter samtidigt som frågor väcks kring tillsynen av vårdgivare inom hemsjukvården.

Omega Healthcare Services bedriver verksamhet från ett låst kontor i Columbus och tillhandahåller hemsjukvård för äldre. Statliga handlingar visar att företaget började ta emot Medicaid-medel i juni 2020 och har fortsatt med det till åtminstone maj 2026. Esther Acheampong är vd för bolaget, medan hennes make Robert, som är tidigare straffad, delar samma adress genom deras redovisningsfirma Scabeda.
