On March 23, 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that Jahangeer Ali, a 34-year-old Pakistani national residing in Southern California, was charged with healthcare fraud. He allegedly ran a scheme through Oregon Clinical Laboratory in Klamath Falls, submitting over $46 million in fake claims to Medicare Advantage plans from June 2025 to January 2026 for genetic testing services that were never ordered or performed. Insurers paid out more than $28 million.
The lab was reportedly nothing more than an empty storefront. Ali was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport on February 26, 2026, while attempting to flee to Pakistan via Turkey. He remains in federal custody. Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew T. Ho is prosecuting the case, which is under investigation by HHS-OIG and the FBI.
A press release from the Department of Justice revealed, “The owner of Oregon Clinical Laboratory in Klamath Falls, Oregon, has been charged by criminal complaint with healthcare fraud after allegedly participating in a scheme to fraudulently bill Medicare Advantage insurance plans for laboratory testing services never performed.”
“Jahangeer Ali, 34, a citizen of Pakistan, made his first appearance on February 27, 2026, in the Central District of California. A detention hearing was held on March 4, 2026, in the Central District of California and Ali was ordered detained pending further court proceedings,” the same source continued.
The DOJ explained that Ali was responsible for massive fraud that bilked Medicare out of tens of millions of dollars over only half a year of fraudulent billing: “According to court documents, from June 2025 through January 2026, Oregon Clinical Laboratory submitted more than $46 million in fraudulent claims to Medicare Advantage plans.”
The statement added, “However, no providers actually ordered testing services and none of the Medicare Advantage beneficiaries on the claims actually received testing services from the company. As a result of the fraud, Medicare Advantage plans paid out over $28 million on the fraudulent claims.”
Explaining how the alleged fraudster was captured, the document noted, “On February 26, 2026, Ali was arrested at the Los Angeles International Airport prior to boarding a flight to Turkey with an ultimate destination of Pakistan. A detention hearing was held today in the District of Oregon and Ali was ordered to remain in custody pending further court proceedings.”

Concluding the statement, the DOJ said, “The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General, and Federal Bureau of Investigation are investigating the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew T. Ho is prosecuting the case.”
In the courtroom, Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew T. Ho declared, “Jahangeer Ali, 34, claimed he owned and operated the Oregon Clinical Laboratory in Klamath Falls for genetic testing, but it turned out to be nothing more than an empty storefront…Millions of dollars remain missing… We simply don’t know where a large amount of money has gone.”
Breaking the story, courageous journalist Andy Ngo reported, “A Pakistani man who owns a clinical laboratory in Oregon has been federally charged with healthcare fraud. Jahangeer Ali, 34, allegedly fraudulently obtained over $28 million by submitting fake claims to Medicare Advantage plans for services never rendered.”
Wrapping up his reporting, he noted, “Across the U.S., foreign nationals and immigrants from failed states defraud American taxpayers. Leftists and Democrats deny the fraud is happening, often arguing that it is racist to admit the truth.”
