Jensen Moors Pleads Guilty to $152K Health Care Fraud

Jensen Moors, a 41-year-old civilian Department of Defense employee from Lauderdale Lakes, Florida, has pled guilty to a federal charge of health care fraud after submitting more than 1,300 false claims to a federal insurance program. The scam, which spanned nearly seven years, sought to steal approximately $152,000 from the Foreign Service Benefit Plan (FSBP), a program designed to reimburse government workers living overseas for legitimate medical expenses.

Moors entered his guilty plea in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on charges of defrauding the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program, administered by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). He is scheduled to be sentenced on Feb. 3, 2017, by Judge James E. Boasberg. Under federal sentencing guidelines, Moors faces 12 to 18 months in prison. He has also agreed to pay full restitution of $143,111 and a forfeiture money judgment in the identical amount.

According to a signed statement of offense, Moors submitted approximately 66 counterfeit invoices between October 2007 and April 2014, claiming he had paid a German physical therapist for services rendered. The claims totaled €119,541 — roughly $152,000 — for physical therapy he either never received or grossly misrepresented. The fraud included falsified treatment dates, inflated prices, and exaggerated session frequency far beyond what the therapist actually provided.

OPM contractors processed 63 of the 66 fraudulent invoices, disbursing $143,111 directly to Moors before the scheme began to unravel. The remaining three claims were denied after investigators flagged them for suspicious activity — the first crack in a fraud operation that had been running undetected for years.

U.S. Attorney Channing D. Phillips and Norbert E. Vint, Deputy Inspector General for OPM, credited the takedown to a joint effort between OPM’s Office of Inspector General and the Defense Criminal Investigative Service. Their investigators followed the paper trail across international borders, matching falsified German invoices with real clinic records, ultimately proving the claims were entirely fabricated.

Inside the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Paralegal Specialist Kaitlyn Krueger, Assistant U.S. Attorney Julia Jarrett — handling forfeiture — and lead prosecutor Assistant U.S. Attorney Virginia Cheatham helped bring the case to resolution. The plea marks a rare conviction in a complex, long-running scheme that exploited a benefit system meant to support public servants, not enrich them through deceit.
