Ninety medical professionals—including doctors and nurses—were caught in schemes targeting Medicare, Medicaid, and other programs, with wound care fraud being a major driver. One Texas nurse practitioner faces accusations of a nearly billion-dollar fraud, with $32 million in assets seized. Authorities also revealed cases where patients suffered real harm, including a fatal heart complication linked to fraudulent screenings. The crackdown spanned 56 federal districts and all 50 states, with international arrests too. Over 1,000 providers lost billing privileges, and more than 1,400 had them permanently revoked—sending a clear message: fraud won’t be tolerated.
