HHS secretary says that eliminating health care fraud facilitates making care “accessible and affordable to all Americans.”
The Justice Department announced that the 2025 National Health Care Fraud Takedown it conducted resulted in criminal charges for 324 defendants. The Health Care Fraud Unit of the Department of Justice Criminal Division’s Fraud Section led and coordinated federal and state law enforcement agencies to uncover various health care fraud schemes involving over $14.6 billion that included doctors, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, and other licensed medical professionals in 50 federal districts and 12 State Attorneys General’s Offices across the United States.
“This record-setting Health Care Fraud Takedown delivers justice to criminal actors who prey upon our most vulnerable citizens and steal from hardworking American taxpayers,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “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.”
“As part of making healthcare accessible and affordable to all Americans, HHS will aggressively work with our law enforcement partners to eliminate the pervasive health care fraud that bedeviled this agency under the former administration and drove up costs,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Attorney General Bondi to seek God’s direction as she heads the Justice Department.
- For discernment for Secretary Kennedy as he oversees the various agencies within the Department of Health and Human Services.
- For U.S. federal officials as they continue to seek ways to eliminate fraud and reduce government spending.
