Klamath Falls, Ore. – Jahangeer Ali, a 34-year-old owner of Oregon Clinical Laboratory in Klamath Falls, has been charged with health care fraud after allegedly filing over $46 million in false claims to Medicare Advantage plans. Authorities claim that from June 2025 to January 2026, Ali submitted claims for laboratory tests that were neither ordered by medical providers nor performed on any patients. As a result, Medicare Advantage plans disbursed more than $28 million based on these fraudulent claims.
Ali was arrested on February 26, 2026, at Los Angeles International Airport just before he was about to board a flight to Turkey, with plans to reach Pakistan. Following a court appearance on February 27, a judge ordered Ali to remain in custody pending further court proceedings. The case is under investigation by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General and the FBI, highlighting a serious breach in Medicare protocols.
