Story summary

Kevin D. Curry, a 64-year-old owner of Texas-based mental health clinics, was convicted by a federal jury on September 27, 2023 for orchestrating a $26 million fraud scheme involving the military's TRICARE health care program. The indictment included three counts each of health care fraud, illegal kickbacks, and criminally derived property transactions. Curry exploited TRICARE by billing for unnecessary or non-existent transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy, profiting from active-duty servicemembers, veterans, and their families.

Prosecutors alleged that Curry used the illicit proceeds to fund luxury purchases such as a gold-plated Tesla Cybertruck worth over $100,000, along with hotel stays and a casino-themed party. His clinics operated in Plano, Fort Worth, Texas, and Fort Walton Beach, Florida. Curry paid more than $5.5 million in illegal kickbacks to persuade clients to consent to TMS treatments.

The case highlights the misuse of critical health care programs designed for military families and underscores the need for stricter oversight to prevent such fraudulent activities.
