Inside Operation Gold Rush, largest health care fraud bust in U.S. history
UNITED STATES, JUN 30 – The DOJ arrested 324 defendants including nearly 100 medical professionals in a $14.6 billion fraud operation exploiting Medicare and Medicaid, with $4 billion in claims blocked, officials said.
- On June 25, 2025, four defendants were arrested in Estonia for their roles in a multi-billion-dollar Medicare fraud scheme linked to a transnational criminal organization.
- The arrests came as part of the Department of Justice’s nationwide 2025 operation targeting complex schemes involving fraudulent billing and financial crimes affecting Medicare, Medicaid, and other health benefit programs.
- Authorities have charged over 320 individuals, including close to 100 licensed medical professionals, in connection with fraudulent activities involving stolen identities and fictitious companies that led to false claims amounting to approximately $14.6 billion.
- Authorities confiscated over $245 million in cash, high-end cars, digital currency, and additional assets as Department of Justice officials characterized the fraud schemes as enormous threats to both patient welfare and taxpayer funds.
- This largest-ever health care fraud bust reflects intensified efforts to protect federal health programs, with over $4 billion in fraudulent claims prevented and 205 provider billing privileges revoked by CMS.
