More than a dozen people in Michigan are facing charges in state and federal court in connection with a nationwide health fraud investigation that resulted in charges against 324 individuals.
The charges were filed under the Justice Department's 2025 National Health Care Fraud Enforcement Action. According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, the nationwide schemes involved Medicaid fraud as well as the sale of controlled substance prescriptions in exchange for cash. Federal investigators seized more than $245 million in cash, luxury cars, and other items. Investigators estimated the schemes would have resulted in a $14.6 billion financial loss and 15 billion pills illegally distributed.
"Today's record-setting Health Care Fraud Takedown sends a crystal-clear message to criminal actors, both foreign and domestic, intent on preying upon our most vulnerable citizens and stealing from hardworking American taxpayers: we will find you; we will prosecute you, and we will hold you accountable to the fullest extent of the law," said Attorney General Pamela Bondi in a statement. "Make no mistake – this administration will not tolerate criminals who line their pockets with taxpayer dollars while endangering the health and safety of our communities."
