Holding
The Department of Justice announced the largest coordinated healthcare fraud enforcement action in DOJ history, charging 455 defendants — including 90 licensed medical professionals — for alleged participation in healthcare fraud and opioid abuse schemes involving over $6.5 billion in false claims. The operation spanned 56 federal districts across 45 states and territories, with 50 state Medicaid Fraud Control Units participating. This enforcement action directly serves the American people by protecting taxpayer-funded healthcare programs from theft, holding corrupt medical professionals accountable for patient harm including death, and seizing over $127 million in criminal assets. The Court scores this Official Communication at 88 (America First).
