Banks and other financial institutions flagged about $17.5 billion in suspicious activity potentially tied to health care fraud over one year, and home health care businesses were the type of provider named most often. The Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, released its financial trend analysis on health care fraud on Sept. 9 after reviewing 5,702 reports filed between March 1, 2025, and Feb. 28, 2026.
The dollar figure is a flag, not a finding. These suspicious activity reports signal potential fraud and do not establish that any specific provider broke the law. FinCEN itself cautions that reported amounts can be overly inclusive and may include attempted transactions, legal activity, and filer errors. Depository institutions filed about 89% of the reports.
