Khalid Ahmed Satary: wanted by the FBI with a reward of $150,000 for Medicare fraud of $547 million

The FBI added Khalid Ahmed Satary to its «Most Wanted Fraudsters» list and is offering up to $150,000 for information leading to his arrest and conviction. According to the bureau, he is the alleged perpetrator of $547 million in Medicare health fraud through unnecessary cancer genetic testing between 2016 and 2019. He has been a fugitive since 2022 after violating the conditions of his bail. The news was reported by Local 10 from Miami and confirmed in fbi.gov.

Why is the FBI looking for him?

The official poster describes Satary as the owner and operator of several diagnostic laboratories in the US that reportedly billed Medicare for expensive and medically unnecessary genetic tests. The scheme, according to the FBI, included:

• Dozens of patient recruiters, telemarketing centers and telemedicine companies
• Deceptive marketing campaigns and illegal bribes to generate samples
• Reimbursements of $10,000 to $20,000 per cancer genetic test sample
• More than $547 million billed to Medicare through its laboratories
• Millions paid in kickbacks to doctors and recruiters

Federal prosecutors identified laboratories as Performance Laboratories (Oklahoma), Lazarus Services (Louisiana) and Clio Labs (Georgia), according to the Inspector HHS General. CGx tests were allegedly ordered via telemarketing and “health fairs,” with orders from telemedicine doctors who often did not treat the patient.

Satary was indicted on September 26, 2019 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana (New Orleans) for healthcare and wire fraud conspiracy, healthcare fraud, bribery conspiracy, and money laundering. He was released on bail with the condition of not working in healthcare, but the FBI claims he conspired with labs in Houston to continue submitting fraudulent claims. After failing to appear on December 12, 2022, an arrest warrant was issued on November 23, 2022 for violation of bail.

Announcement in Miami and Operation Health Care Fraud Takedown

FBI supervisor Freddy Ortiz filed the case on July 7, 2026 in Miami, according to Local 10. He indicated that Satary has ties to Florida, Georgia, Texas, as well as Israel/Palestine, Jordan and Dubai. The FBI believes he could be hiding in the United Arab Emirates, according to Fox News and WLRN.

Satary's addition coincides with the national operation 2026 National Health Care Fraud Takedown, announced by FBI Director Kash Patel: charges against 455 suspects for more than $6.5 billion in false claims, according to Fox News. Satary and Emylee Thai replace two already captured fugitives on the list.

Unlike others wanted, the FBI told Local 10 that it does not believe Satary poses a direct threat to public safety — he is a fugitive for financial fraud, not violence.
