United States | Man Wanted Over $93 Million Medicare Fraud Scheme | CUAC

Civil Union – Follow-ups U.S. authorities have placed the owner of a laboratory in Texas on the wanted list over allegations that he was involved in a fraudulent scheme targeting the Medicare program through approximately $93 million in allegedly fraudulent claims related to genetic testing. According to authorities, the suspect, Khudair Khan Mohammad, owner of American Premier Labs in Texas, allegedly used physicians’ identifying information without their knowledge or consent to submit claims for genetic tests that the doctors had not ordered and that were not used in patient care. Investigators found that Medicare paid at least $65 million of those claims, including approximately $13 million within just 10 days in 2023. U.S. authorities believe the suspect may currently be in Hyderabad, India, while the relevant authorities continue to pursue him in connection with the case, which remains pending before the courts.
