Meeting to address Maumee River fish, wildlife improvements near Towpath Park
Maumee-area residents are being asked to weigh in on $2 million to $5 million of fish and wildlife habitat improvements planned for the Maumee River near the city’s Towpath Park. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is hosting a public information session at 5:30 p.m. on July 30 about the work, called the Great Lakes Fisheries and Ecosystem Restoration Towpath Park project. The 90-minute meeting will be inside the Maumee High School Performing Arts Center, 1147 Saco St., Maumee. Three potential locations are under consideration. They include sites adjacent to existing walking paths west or east of the Conant Street Bridge, or a portion of the river further downstream, northeast of the Audubon Islands State Nature Preserve. A river-adjacent wetland complex, vernal pools, and softening streambank features to stabilize the bank and slow water velocity near the shoreline are being contemplated.
Doctor gets 26 months for fraudulent orthotics prescriptions
A former Maumee doctor has been sentenced to 26 months in federal prison for signing more than 11,000 fraudulent prescriptions for orthotic braces that cost Medicare more than $4.47 million. Ankita Singh, 42, had been found guilty Feb. 29 by a jury of six counts of healthcare fraud and was sentenced Friday by U.S. District Judge Jack Zouhary. Between 2019 and 2021, Singh worked as an independent contractor for at least two companies to provide “telehealth services” and signed off on durable medical equipment orders sent to her electronically after telemarketers signed up Medicare patients to receive the devices, federal prosecutors said. Singh never actually examined or consulted with any of the roughly 3,000 patients, prosecutors said, and prescribed multiple medical braces for many of the patients. More than $8 million was billed to Medicare under the scheme and $4,470,931.02 was paid out. Singh, who received fees to conduct the phantom patient consultations, was ordered to pay that amount in restitution along with a $600 special assessment fee. She will have two years of supervision after her prison release.
