A federal court has granted a request from the United States to seize more than $2 million from a Pasadena-based advanced wound care clinic accused of defrauding Medicare for reimbursements for skin graft substitutes and skin grafts that never were performed on patients. United States Magistrate Judge Alicia G. Rosenberg late Monday authorized the government’s request to seize up to approximately $2,039,792 from a bank account linked to Expert Wound Care PC. According to an affidavit filed with a federal seizure warrant, from September 2025 to April 2026, Expert Wound Care submitted more than $46.6 million in claims to Medicare for skin substitute products and wound care services purportedly provided to 78 beneficiaries. Medicare approved payments of approximately $34,031,382 on these claims, which included skin substitutes and skin grafts as well as skin application procedures.
