Attorney General Ken Paxton commended the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit of his office for its role in the arrests of 12 Houston-area individuals as part of the largest health care fraud enforcement action in American history.
Attorney General Paxton’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit – working with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General, local FBI, and the nationwide Medicare Fraud Strike Force –targeted the most egregious schemes involving the billing of Medicare and Medicaid private insurance programs for medically unnecessary services and prescription drugs, and violations of illegal kickbacks.
