TX AG Arrests over 120 and Collects over $125M from Healthcare Fraudsters in 2025 Alone

Under the leadership of Attorney General Ken Paxton, the Office of the Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU) yet again delivered exceptional results in 2025 by recovering more than $125 million for the State of Texas and securing 123 arrests and 180 indictments related to healthcare fraud. In June of 2025, Attorney General Paxton’s MFCU played a major role in the largest healthcare fraud enforcement action in American history, which resulted in criminal charges against 30 defendants connected to more than a dozen fraudulent healthcare schemes in Texas. The schemes collectively accounted for more than $177 million in fraudulent billings nationally, $1.7 million in illegal kickbacks, and the unlawful diversion of over 10 million opioid pills. Since 2020, the MFCU has recovered more than $1 billion in settlements, judgments, and restitution for Texas taxpayers.
