US Fugitive Khadeer Khan Mohammed Sought Over $93 Million Medicare Fraud

Federal investigators from the Department of Health and Human Services and the FBI allege that Mohammed used his Richardson-based facility, American Premier Labs LLC, to submit fraudulent billing between August 2023 and October 2024. The scheme involved the unauthorized use of physicians' personal identifying information to fabricate claims for genetic tests that were neither requested by medical professionals nor provided to patients.

Medicare records indicate that of the $93 million in total fraudulent claims submitted, the government paid out at least $65 million. In one instance, the laboratory secured $13 million in payouts over a span of just 10 days. As the criminal investigation progresses, authorities have already moved to seize nearly $6 million from bank accounts linked to Mohammed. The case remains active as law enforcement agencies work to locate the suspect.
