The Justice Department has announced a groundbreaking crackdown on healthcare fraud, involving charges against over 320 individuals and revealing approximately $15 billion in false claims, making it the largest action of its kind. Law enforcement has seized assets totaling more than $245 million, linking the perpetrators to international criminal networks. The crackdown encompasses 190 federal and 90 state cases, with nearly 100 medical professionals charged. Key among the fraudulent activities is a sophisticated $10 billion urinary catheter scheme, underscoring the complexities and expansions of fraud in the healthcare system.
These criminals didn't just steal someone else's money. They stole from you. Every fraudulent claim, every fake billing, every kickback scheme represents money taken directly from the pockets of American taxpayers.
The alleged $14.6 billion in fraud is more than twice the previous record in the Justice Department's annual health care fraud crackdown, highlighting a growing threat.
