Warren mayor asks for Medicaid investigation of Steward Health
WARREN, Ohio (WKBN) – Warren city leaders want the state to investigate the former owner of Insight Trumbull Hospital.
Mayor Doug Franklin sent a letter to Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, asking the Medicaid Fraud Unit to investigate Steward Health Care.
Franklin accuses Steward Health of illegally withholding Medicaid and Medicare funds from the hospital.
Insight bought the facility out of bankruptcy last year and has invested over $30 million but can't access the funds it needs to operate.
The hospital has since diverted services and furloughed staff.
