Trivikram Reddy, 43, a nurse practitioner from Waxahachie, will forfeit more than $40 million in fraud proceeds that were moved to foreign accounts, Acting U.S. Attorney Chad E. Meacham announced. Reddy is originally from India.
Reddy, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2021 for conspiracy to commit wire fraud, transferred fraudulent proceeds to nearly 200 bank accounts in India. Federal investigators traced the funds, leading to a civil forfeiture case. On March 3, 2025, U.S. District Judge Ada Brown ordered the transfer of up to $41,237,703.16 back to U.S. government custody after Reddy and two family members agreed to the forfeiture.
According to court records, Reddy orchestrated a scheme to defraud Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, and Cigna. He and his co-conspirators submitted false patient bills using six doctors' provider numbers, despite none of them treating patients at Reddy’s clinics. When federal agents investigated, Reddy and his staff fabricated medical records in an attempt to justify the fraudulent claims.
In October 2020, Reddy pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud. In May 2021, Judge Brown sentenced him to 20 years in prison and ordered over $50 million in restitution.
The case was investigated by the FBI Dallas Field Office and the Health and Human Services-Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG). The civil forfeiture case is being handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Dimitri Rocha, while Assistant U.S. Attorney Beverly Chapman is overseeing the restitution.
