A federal jury in Fort Worth has convicted Kevin Curry, a 64 year old licensed professional counselor from Frisco, for his role in a massive twenty six million dollar healthcare fraud scheme. Prosecutors revealed that Curry targeted active duty service members, veterans, and their families by promoting unnecessary transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy for depression. To pull off the scam, Curry allegedly posed as a physician and misappropriated medical credentials to bill TRICARE, the military’s health insurer. In many instances, the patients listed in the bills never actually received any treatment at all.
The scale of the deception involved millions of dollars in illicit payments. Between late 2022 and 2025, Curry reportedly paid out five and a half million dollars in bribes and kickbacks to patients who participated in the scheme. While he billed insurance companies for twenty six million dollars total, TRICARE alone footed the bill for approximately seventeen million of those costs. Assistant Attorney General Colin M. McDonald described the operation as an affront to both the American public and the military community.
Court documents paint a picture of extreme extravagance funded by these stolen funds. Instead of providing genuine mental health care through his clinics in Plano, Fort Worth, and Florida, Curry spent his profits on five star hotel stays, high end furniture, and a lavish casino themed party for staff and clients. Most notably, he purchased a gold plated Tesla Cybertruck valued at over one hundred thousand dollars. This case was part of a larger national crackdown on healthcare fraud that uncovered hundreds of millions in false claims across the country.
As the legal process moves forward toward sentencing, Curry faces a potential prison term of up to ninety years. His business websites have since been taken down following the conviction. Transcranial magnetic stimulation is an FDA approved non invasive procedure intended only for severe cases where other depression treatments have failed, making the exploitation of this specific therapy particularly egregious given its clinical purpose.
