What happened
A federal jury in Fort Worth convicted Kevin D. Curry for a $26 million healthcare fraud, kickbacks, and money laundering scheme. Curry, who operated clinics in Texas and Florida, orchestrated the scheme to bill TRICARE for transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy that was medically unnecessary or not provided. He paid over $5.5 million in kickbacks to convince active-duty service members and veterans to consent to treatment they did not qualify for or receive.
