Houston woman added to FBI's most wanted fraudster list, accused of nearly $100 million in healthcare fraud, bureau officials say
ABC 13 Eyewitness News
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- FBI officials announced on Tuesday that a woman from Houston, accused of nearly $100 million in healthcare fraud, has been added to their Most Wanted Fraudster list.
According to the FBI Houston office, Emylee Thai is accused of committing millions of dollars in fraud through a medically unnecessary genetic testing and kickback scheme.
Officials said that on July 11, 2022, Thai was charged with conspiracy to commit health care fraud, conspiracy to defraud the United States, and payment of kickbacks in connection with a federal health care program.
The indictment alleges that beginning in 2019, Thai, who was a laboratory owner, contracted with marketers to refer signed doctors’ orders and beneficiary DNA samples to the laboratory in exchange for a percentage of the reimbursements, according to the FBI.
The genetic testing, for which Medicare often paid several thousand dollars per beneficiary, was not medically necessary, officials said, adding that there were often not used in the beneficiary's medical treatment.
