Story summary

Khadeer Khan Mohammed, an Indian-origin laboratory owner from Texas, has been listed as a federal fugitive in the US after authorities accused him of participating in a $93 million Medicare fraud scheme involving genetic testing. Between August 2023 and October 2024, Mohammed allegedly submitted fraudulent claims through his company, American Premier Labs LLC, leading to at least $65 million being paid by Medicare. In just one 10-day period in 2023, the scheme resulted in suspected fraudulent payments of approximately $13 million.

Authorities claim that Mohammed used physicians' personal identifying information without their knowledge or consent to file claims for genetic tests that were not ordered by authorized doctors and were not utilized in patient care. The US Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG) has declared Mohammed a fugitive, suggesting he may be hiding in Hyderabad, India. This case highlights significant vulnerabilities within the Medicare system regarding fraudulent genetic testing claims.
