2025 National Health Care Fraud Takedown
The Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General, participated with key federal and state law enforcement partners in the 2025 National Health Care Fraud Takedown. The action resulted in criminal charges against 324 defendants, with intended losses exceeding $14.6 billion—making it the largest health care fraud Takedown in U.S. Department of Justice history and doubling the previous record of $6 billion.
324 defendants—including 96 doctors, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, and other licensed medical professionals—across 50 federal districts and 12 State Attorneys General’s Offices were charged for their alleged roles in health care fraud schemes that exploited patients and taxpayers and resulted in over $14.6 billion in fraudulent activity.
