Convicted fraudster runs million dollar medicaid business in ohio

Kiswahili

A Columbus company owned by a couple with multiple criminal convictions has billed Ohio Medicaid nearly $1 million for home care services. True Home Healthcare LLC received payments despite restrictions on its owners' nursing licenses and questions over the work performed.

True Home Healthcare LLC operates from an office building in Columbus where a note on the door indicated the staff was on a break. Medicaid records list Mamusu Kanu as the owner, though incorporation documents name her husband Alieu Conteh instead. The company billed the program $936,000 between May 2021 and October 2024 while serving a steady roster of about a dozen patients.
