\n<\/p>\n

The state of Ohio, working in conjunction with top federal officials, is suspending 50 home health care firms in Columbus that have been billing Medicaid for millions, following a Daily Wire investigation into the fraud sector.<\/p>\n

The Daily Wire obtained a list of the businesses that were suspended from the program. Most of the suspended firms were visited by The Daily Wire and showcased in our Medicaid Millions series. The now-suspended firms flagged in our stories collectively billed taxpayers more than $322 million since 2019.<\/p>\n

Some of the largest billers came from our story on Bhutanese refugees with the name Adhikari<\/a>. Dr. Mehmet Oz, head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, made reference to our findings about Rosham Adhikari’s life of luxury, saying there will no longer be people drinking “champagne on private jets” with the money they made off Medicaid fraud.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Among the suspended businesses are three firms \u2014 Americare ($128 million), Serenity Home Health ($74 million), and Medina Home Healthcare ($22 million) \u2014 all\u00a0owned by Dilli Adhikari, who was found to be involved with charities that appear to be funneling money overseas.<\/p>\n

Others came from our story examining seven properties owned by one landlord, containing 288 Medicaid companies between them that billed $250 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Another firm that was suspended was Merciful Home Health, which was owned by Mohammed Ahmed and billed $10 million to Medicaid. When The Daily Wire visited Merciful, the man who opened the door for us falsely claimed he was not an employee and said he did not know what the company did for its money. <\/span>That moment was featured in The Daily Wire’s documentary on Medicaid in Ohio.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The story contained graphics showing the owners of the companies billing Medicaid in each of the buildings, which were identified through data analysis as hotspots for home health companies.<\/p>\n

Another suspended firm,\u00a0ZNC Home Health, was owned by Isaac Omoako and billed <\/span>$11 million to Medicaid. <\/span>ZNC had 93 claims in September 2018, then suddenly 1,065 the next month, according to the data.<\/p>\n

An audit found that 56% of ZNC\u2019s Medicaid payments didn\u2019t match up<\/a> with its staff\u2019s electronic records; the auditor did not recommend any repayments after ZNC said its \u201cemployees are confused.\u201d<\/p>\n

Horizon Home Health, owned by Joana Quainoo and paid $5.8 million in Medicaid payouts, was highlighted by The Daily Wire for wildly inconsistent billing. It billed $155,000 in October 2022, $75,000 a month for most of 2023, and $180,000 a month for most of 2024.<\/p>\n

When The Daily Wire showed up at the business, Horizon turned out to be based out of what appeared to be a closet \u2014 a door with no window inside of another room. It was dark inside, and no one answered a knock.<\/p>\n

Then there was 6555 Busch Boulevard, the “black box” highlighted in “He Was Convicted For Defrauding The Government. Now Medicaid Pays His Wife Millions.”<\/a> The story noted that Omega Home Health was created by a wife after her husband had already been convicted of billing the government for fake elder services.<\/p>\n

Both Omega Home Health, which billed\u00a0Medicaid $5.7 million, and\u00a0<\/span>Confidential Home Health, which billed $3.1 million, were suspended by Ohio.<\/p>\n
