State auditor cites Summit Academy-Youngstown

COLUMBUS — Summit Academy-Youngstown billed for services for students who were absent or not even enrolled on the dates of service, according to a Medicaid audit released today by state Auditor Dave Yost’s office.

“How do you provide services to students who aren’t even enrolled at the school?” Auditor Yost said in a news release. “You don’t. This is an old-school rip-off.”

The audit determined that Summit Academy-Youngstown was overpaid by Ohio Medicaid for services rendered between July 1, 2011, and June 30, 2013, for about $14,664. With $1,011.89 in interest, Summit Academy-Youngstown owes the Ohio Department of Medicaid $15,675.48.

Summit Academy-Youngstown has schools on Shady Run Road and North Schenley Avenue.
