United States Attorney Robert J. Troester has announced that Alexander Frank, a 55-year-old resident of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, faces charges related to an alleged Medicare fraud scheme. The announcement is part of a larger nationwide crackdown by the Department of Justice on health care fraud.
Troester stated, “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.” He emphasized the department’s dedication to protecting government programs from exploitation for personal gain.
Frank was indicted on June 3, 2025, with twenty-five counts of health care fraud. According to the indictment, between 2021 and 2023, Frank allegedly billed Medicare approximately $3.2 million for face-to-face visits with beneficiaries in skilled nursing facilities that he either did not perform or only partially performed. If found guilty, Frank could face up to ten years in prison per count and a $250,000 fine along with mandatory restitution.
This case is part of a coordinated national law enforcement action resulting in charges against 324 defendants accused of participating in schemes involving over $14.6 billion in fraudulent billings and illegal drug diversions. The operation also led to the seizure of over $245 million in cash and assets.
The Western District of Oklahoma’s case against Frank is being handled by Assistant United States Attorney D.H. Dilbeck. Several agencies collaborated during the investigation including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General and other federal departments.
It is important to note that all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
