Health Care Fraud Ring Dismantled: Four Texas Individuals Face Charges Over $210 Million Scheme

WASHINGTON — A massive health care fraud scheme worth over $210 million has been dismantled in the Northern District of Texas, with four individuals facing federal charges. The Justice Department’s 2025 National Health Care Fraud Takedown resulted in criminal charges against 324 defendants across the United States, including 96 medical professionals.

The alleged scheme involved fraudulent billing and identity theft, targeting patients and federal programs. The government seized over $245 million in assets during the coordinated enforcement efforts, showcasing the significant return on investment from health care fraud enforcement.

Attorney General Pamela Bondi emphasized the importance of this takedown, stating, ‘This record-setting Health Care Fraud Takedown delivers justice to those who prey upon our most vulnerable citizens and steal from hardworking American taxpayers.’

Acting U.S. Attorney Nancy Larson vowed to pursue these offenders to the fullest extent possible, highlighting the relentless efforts of law enforcement partners in dismantling complex financial transactions.

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. highlighted the government’s commitment to making healthcare accessible and affordable, noting their aggressive stance against pervasive health care fraud that increased costs under previous administration.

HHS-OIG Acting Inspector General Juliet T. Hodgkins emphasized the agency’s dedication to detecting, investigating, and dismantling these fraud schemes, protecting taxpayer dollars and patient care.
