Oklahoma City Man Charged with Medicare Fraud as Part of National Takedown

Largest Justice Department Health Care Fraud Takedown in History Results in 324 Defendants Charged in Connection with Over $14.6 Billion in Alleged Fraud

OKLAHOMA CITY – Today, United States Attorney Robert J. Troester announced ALEXANDER FRANK, 55, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, has been charged in connection with an alleged scheme to defraud Medicare.

“We are committed to combatting fraud in our nation’s health care system, especially against federal programs that serve those most in need of care,” said U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester. “Today’s nationwide announcement is proof of the Department of Justice’s ongoing effort to protect Americans from those who seek to exploit government programs for their personal gain.”

On June 3, 2025, Frank was charged by indictment with twenty-five counts of health care fraud. As alleged in the indictment, between 2021 and 2023, Frank fraudulently billed Medicare for approximately $3.2 million dollars’ worth of face-to-face visits with beneficiaries in skilled nursing facilities which he did not render or rendered only in part. If convicted, Frank faces up to ten years in prison on each count, a $250,000 fine, and mandatory restitution.

The charges announced today are part of a strategically coordinated, nationwide law enforcement action that resulted in criminal charges against 324 defendants for their alleged participation in health care fraud and illegal drug diversion schemes that involved the submission of over $14.6 billion in alleged false billings and over 15.6 million pills of illegally diverted controlled substances. The defendants allegedly defrauded programs entrusted for the care of the elderly and disabled to line their own pockets. In connection with the Takedown, the Government seized over $245 million in cash, luxury vehicles, and other assets.
