Kevin D. Curry, a 64-year-old licensed professional counselor, has been convicted in federal court for orchestrating a $26 million healthcare fraud and money laundering scheme targeting TRICARE, the healthcare program for U.S. military members, retirees, and their families.

Curry operated mental health clinics in Texas and Florida, where he systematically billed for transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy that was either medically unnecessary or never actually provided. To sustain the scheme, Curry reportedly paid over $5.5 million in illegal kickbacks to military members and their families to secure consent for the treatments. Evidence presented during the proceedings showed that Curry fabricated medical records, used the identities of licensed physicians without their consent, and falsely represented himself as a medical doctor.

TRICARE paid approximately $17 million in fraudulent claims before the scheme was uncovered. Curry used the proceeds to fund a lavish lifestyle, including luxury hotel stays, a casino-themed party, and a gold-plated Tesla Cybertruck valued at over $100,000. He was found guilty on counts of healthcare fraud, offering and paying illegal kickbacks, and engaging in monetary transactions in criminally derived property.
