Largest Justice Department Health Care Fraud Takedown in History
More than Doubles Prior Record of $6 Billion

The Justice Department today announced the results of its 2025 National Health Care Fraud Takedown, which resulted in criminal charges against 324 defendants, including 96 doctors, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, and other licensed medical professionals, in 50 federal districts and 12 State Attorneys General’s Offices across the United States, for their alleged participation in various health care fraud schemes involving over $14.6 billion in intended loss. The Takedown involved federal and state law enforcement agencies across the country and represents an unprecedented effort to combat health care fraud schemes that exploit patients and taxpayers.

Demonstrating the significant return on investment that results from health care fraud enforcement efforts, the government seized over $245 million in cash, luxury vehicles, cryptocurrency, and other assets as part of the coordinated enforcement efforts. As part of the whole-of-government approach to combating health care fraud announced today, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) also announced that it successfully prevented over $4 billion from being paid in response to false and fraudulent claims and that it suspended or revoked the billing privileges of 205 providers in the months leading up to the Takedown. Civil charges against 20 defendants for $14.2 million in alleged fraud, as well as civil settlements with 106 defendants totaling $34.3 million, were also announced as part of the Takedown.

for reference, $14.6 billion would buy

- just over 1 ford class aircraft carrier
- more than 7 b-2 bombers
- more than 176 f-35A
- almost 3400 m-1 tanks

Unfortunately for many of these individuals charged, some have already fled the country. Like this dude here https://www.austinweeklynews.com/2025/06/23/loretto-exec-stole-300-milion-fake-covid-testing/ and this dude https://patch.com/illinois/orlandpark/orland-park-mans-covid-test-fraud-scheme-funneled-153m-suburban-lab-feds  I believe he may also be wrapped up in the scams that targeted my family members I discovered last year. The OIG's report in February showed that Medicare had paid out $454 million in fraudulent test kits by these morons. One of them Baqar Syed is serving two years in prison, and they've only recovered $4 million of it. https://www.wisn.com/article/federal-report-medicare-may-have-paid-454-million-for-covid-19-tests-no-one-wanted/63922305
