Khadeer Khan Mohammed, 46, an Indian citizen from Hyderabad, is a fugitive accused of running a $93 million genetic-testing scam that targeted Medicare between August 2023 and October 2024. According to U.S. court filings, he allegedly submitted false claims for tests not ordered or performed, leading to Medicare payments of up to $65 million. Khan is one of four individuals charged in Texas with healthcare fraud involving over $210 million as part of a nationwide takedown by the Department of Justice. The United States has issued a lookout notice stating that Khan may be hiding in India and could face extradition under the U.S.-India treaty effective since 1999.

Story summary
In July 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice announced a significant takedown involving 324 defendants, including 96 medical professionals, across 50 federal districts and 12 State Attorneys General’s Offices in the United States. The operation targeted health care fraud schemes that allegedly involved over $14.6 billion in intended losses to Medicare, the U.S. government healthcare program.
As part of this takedown, four individuals were charged in the Northern District of Texas for fraudulent activities totaling more than $210 million. One of these individuals is Khadeer Khan Mohammed, a 46-year-old Indian citizen who allegedly led a genetic-testing scam that defrauded Medicare of over $93 million.
On September 11, 2026, the Office of Inspector General for Health Care and Human Services posted Khadeer Khan as a fugitive. The organization believes he is currently in India, which may lead to potential extradition proceedings if found there.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
