COLUMBUS, Ohio – Today’s grim headlines read: Terry Hill Jr., 59, of Dayton, was served with a mountain of legal woes. The Acting United States Attorney Kelly A. Norris dropped the hammer on Hill for orchestrating an alleged scheme to rip off Medicare and Medicaid, a crime that has been deemed as despicable by none other than Attorney General Pamela Bondi.
Hill, Jr., is accused of owning and operating Recovery Street Central, a substance abuse treatment facility, even after being kicked out of government health care programs like Medicare and Medicaid. His alleged exclusion came in 2021 following a conviction for Medicaid fraud. Despite this, Hill’s name is synonymous with $4 million in fraudulent claims submitted to Medicaid for services that either weren’t provided or were against the program’s rules.
This case is a stark reminder of the Justice Department’s relentless pursuit of health care scammers. As part of their 2025 National Health Care Fraud Takedown, they’ve managed to net 324 defendants, with an estimated loss exceeding $14.6 billion and over 15 million pills of illegal drugs.
But it’s not just the big sums that make this takedown remarkable; it’s also the seizure of over $245 million in assets, including cash and luxury vehicles. Hill Jr.’s case is being handled with fervor by Assistant U.S. Attorney Kenneth F. Affeldt and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Brian Walter, both from the Ohio Attorney General’s Office Medicaid Fraud Control Unit.
And this isn’t just a one-man show; the FBI’s Cincinnati Division and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG) are also on the case. The nationwide takedown involved various strike forces and U.S. Attorneys’ Offices, with state Attorney Generals’ Offices from across the nation contributing to the prosecutions.
Hill Jr.’s charges include health care fraud, false statements relating to health care matters, and conspiracy to commit health care fraud. He’s facing a future behind bars if convicted of these serious allegations. The countdown begins for justice to be served on this alleged fraudster who sought to enrich himself at the expense of the vulnerable.
