Medical Supply Company Owner Convicted of $30 Million Medicare Fraud Scheme

A federal jury in the Middle District of Florida has convicted an Oklahoma business owner and chiropractor for his role in a scheme that attempted to defraud Medicare, TRICARE, and CHAMPVA of more than $30 million. Mark Loftis, 39, of Cushing, Oklahoma, was found guilty of conspiracy to commit health care fraud and wire fraud for orchestrating a scheme that preyed on elderly and disabled Americans.

According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, Loftis paid over a million dollars to marketers who worked with call centers to persuade vulnerable individuals to provide their personal and health insurance information. Loftis and his co-conspirators then used that information to obtain signed orders for orthotic braces and continuous glucose monitors from telemedicine doctors and nurse practitioners who never examined—and often never even spoke to—the patients.

Despite receiving a steady stream of complaints from beneficiaries and family members reporting that their elderly parents suffered from dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, Loftis continued the scheme for three years. In total, he obtained over $8 million from the false and fraudulent claims.

Loftis faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and is scheduled to be sentenced on October 7, 2026. This case reflects the government’s aggressive pursuit of healthcare fraud, particularly schemes that exploit seniors and military families through illegal kickbacks and fraudulent telemedicine arrangements. The investigation was conducted by HHS-OIG, the FBI, DCIS, and VA-OIG.
