Los Angeles/Sept 18, 2026 NRI Khadir Khan Muhammad is accused of participating in a scheme to defraud Medicare (a US government-funded healthcare benefit program) in the Northern District of Texas and elsewhere, spanning approximately August 2023 to October 2024. It is alleged that Muhammad personally submitted—or directed others to submit—claims that were ineligible for reimbursement, were not requested by authorized medical service providers, and were not provided in the manner described. As part of the scheme, Mohammed is believed to have used physicians’ personal identifying information without their knowledge or consent to submit claims for genetic tests for beneficiaries with whom the physicians had no treatment relationship. These tests were not ordered by the physicians and were not used in the care of the beneficiaries. Over the course of the conspiracy, Mohammed used American Premier to submit approximately $93 million in alleged fraudulent Medicare claims, resulting in Medicare paying at least $65 million. In one 10-day period in 2023 alone, Medicare paid approximately $13 million for suspected fraudulent claims.The public is reminded that charges are merely allegations, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty Source: oig.hhs.gov
