My wife Penny is an #Ohio independent #Medicaid provider and every September she gets an audit and colonoscopy, called a Structural Review, from Ohio Dept of Medicaid's corporate contractor, Republican donor William 'Bill' Mosakowski's Public Consulting Group, that the Ohio #GOP awarded the contract to. Non-Medicare agencies get reviewed every two years.

This company is so dysfunctional.

If there is a problem with Medicaid fraud in Ohio, the first place Ohio needs to look is the corporate donor buddies they award the oversite contracts to.

They also own Staffing Solutions Organization LLC and University Instructors LLC.

The Structural Reviews are meetings between PCG and the provider, which include review of the provider’s documentation and supporting evidence to ensure:

Compliance with the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) rules for provider performance for the delivery of the services, adherence to providing and billing for services as authorized, and review of the clinical documentation to support reimbursement of services. #USPol

Fund Communities, Not Chaos: [SHOW LOW-RALLY] · Mobilize

Republicans are rushing to steal billions in taxpayer funding from the essential services families rely on, all to supercharge Trump’s authoritarian power grabs and give ICE a blank check to keep terrorizing our communities. Join us to demand Congress fund communities, not chaos! Our Members of Congress need to feel the pressure from their constituents. Host a rally or event at their district office or other highly visible public place to hold them accountable and educate constituents about the local impact of Republicans pouring our hard-earned tax dollars into Trump’s mass deportation machine and other MAGA priorities instead of delivering relief from skyrocketing costs and protecting our rights. A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action that is community-led and grounded in moral witness, public accountability, and collective care. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values, and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
