Holding
The DOJ announced the 2026 National Health Care Fraud Takedown — the most internationally coordinated healthcare fraud enforcement operation in DOJ history — charging 455 defendants including 90 licensed medical professionals for schemes involving over $6.5 billion in false claims. Unprecedented international cooperation resulted in apprehension of fugitives from Cyprus, Estonia, and the Philippines. The operation seized over $182 million in assets, suspended 1,079 providers, and revoked billing privileges for 1,403 providers. The Medicaid enforcement component was the DOJ's largest ever, charging 295 defendants for $518 million in fraud. The Court scores this at 92 (America First) — four points higher than the 2023 predecessor.
