Postal crime extends well beyond porch pirates and stolen mail. In some cases, these crimes occur in places you might least expect — including the doctor’s office.
As part of a decade-long investigation, the USPS Office of Inspector General uncovered a massive health care fraud scheme involving Texas pharmacies and medical providers.
In 2025 alone, the OIG’s investigation “brought to justice” 324 defendants who are now facing criminal charges for their alleged involvement in this scheme or similar operations.
Those facing charges include 96 doctors, nurse practitioners, pharmacists and other licensed medical professionals.
According to a July Justice Department release, intended losses were upwards of $14.6 billion.
