Victor Clark Kirk, Medicaid Fraud, Louisiana 2023

A former CEO of a health clinic in Louisiana has been convicted of defrauding the Louisiana Medicaid Program over several years.

Victor Clark Kirk, 73, of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was the CEO of St. Gabriel Health Clinic Inc. (St. Gabriel), a Louisiana nonprofit corporation that provided health care services to Medicaid recipients and others.

According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, Kirk caused the fraudulent billing of educational programs to Medicaid as group psychotherapy. To facilitate the fraudulent scheme, Kirk directed that St. Gabriel practitioners falsely diagnose students with mental health disorders.

From 2011 through 2015, Kirk caused over $1.8 million in fraudulent claims for purported group psychotherapy services.

Kirk was convicted of conspiracy to commit health care fraud and five counts of health care fraud. He is scheduled to be sentenced on January 12, 2023, and faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison per count.

The case was investigated by the FBI, the Louisiana Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, and the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Inspector General.

Kirk’s conviction is a result of a joint initiative between the Department of Justice and the Department of Health and Human Services to focus their efforts to prevent and deter fraud and enforce current anti-fraud laws around the country.

The Health Care Fraud Strike Force has charged nearly 4,000 defendants who have collectively billed the Medicare program for more than $14 billion since its inception in March 2007.
