Ohio workers comp probe continues
In a three-part series, Steve Eder and James Drew of The (Toledo) Blade
report that, since early 2004, the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation
has failed to fully investigate allegations of kickbacks and fraud in its
managed-care section. The report, “Falling Down on The Job,” is the
latest installment in The Blade‘s two-year investigation into the
state-managed workers’ compensation system, which unearthed Ohio’s
“Coingate” scandal and resulted in numerous criminal convictions and
reforms.
