Investigation into Medicaid Fraud Scheme

This is a brand new $28 million mansion in Hidden Hills,

California, next to the Kardashian house.

But the man who owns this property isn't a pop star or CEO.

He's a respiratory therapist named Curtis Kerkova, and he got

rich by billing California's Medicaid system more than $40

million.

And as his business raked in the cash, Curtis and his husband,

Christian, flaunted their new wealth online.

They bought these houses, flew on these jets,

and partied in the most exclusive places in the world.

We spent months following the money trail and found something

very strange. There's no evidence that their company

even exists.

So let's start at the beginning. In 2019, Curtis Kerkova

founded a company called Hero Care.

He was mostly selling these plastic products, breathing

tubes, catheters, which are made in Mexico and cost about

$15. In 2020, the company made about

$7,000. The next year, about

$400,000. In 2022, they billed the government

$5 million. Then $15 million,

then $18.8 million.

But the actual business is something of a ghost.

Their website doesn't work. They have empty social media

accounts, and when you call the phone number,

nobody answers.

This mailbox is not currently accepting messages.

We wanted to take a look at their physical operation, so we drove to

Hero Care's address in Chino, but the business wasn't there.

Hello.

I'm looking for Hero Healthcare.

Hero Healthcare. I'm not sure.

They're not here?

No.

Okay.

This is Pristine Home Health.

Next, we went to another of the company's listed

addresses in Van Nuys, and

there was no sign of Hero Care at all.

Finally, we went to Curtis Kerkova's mansion,

which he shares with

his husband and his adopted daughter, but he was nowhere to be

found.

California has long been a goldmine for Medicaid fraud.

According to our reporting, fraudsters are stealing up to $50 billion a

year from the state Medicaid program, and fraud experts told us that the

numbers for Hero Care are full of red flags.

It's simply not the kind of business that turns people into millionaires

overnight. Experts say there's more than enough

evidence for the federal

government to open an investigation.

As the couple wrote in one Instagram post, "It's giving Narcos

vibes, but the money's clean." We're not so sure.

It's time for President Trump to shut this down.
