DOJ Announces Largest Healthcare Fraud Crackdown
The U.S. Department of Justice announced its largest-ever healthcare fraud crackdown, charging 324 defendants, including 96 licensed medical professionals, across 50 federal districts, for schemes totaling $14.6 billion in intended losses. The operation involved the FBI, DEA, and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), resulting in the seizure of over $245 million in cash, cryptocurrency, luxury vehicles, and other assets. Operation Gold Rush targeted a transnational organization accused of submitting $10.6 billion in fraudulent Medicare claims using stolen identities of more than one million Americans. The fraudulent activities included fake billing for durable medical equipment, unnecessary procedures, kickbacks, and opioid trafficking, with a significant portion run by international criminal networks. Authorities also reported the prevention of $4 billion in fraudulent claims and $34.3 million in civil settlements. Officials emphasized the ongoing fight to protect taxpayer dollars and warned of continued enforcement actions.
