Leo Anzivino, Jr., 34, of Teaticket, Massachusetts, is facing charges of healthcare fraud and money laundering for his alleged role in a New Hampshire-based scheme to defraud Medicare of over $6.3 million via a medical equipment company.
“As part of making healthcare accessible and affordable to all Americans, HHS will aggressively work with our law enforcement partners to eliminate the pervasive health care fraud that bedeviled this agency under the former administration and drove up costs,” said Department of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
According to a federal indictment, Anzivino agreed to be listed on official documents as the owner of the durable medical equipment company Advanced Medical Supply while his co-conspirators were, in fact, undisclosed beneficial owners and operators of the company.
From December 2023 to about March 2024, Anzivino and his co-conspirators allegedly submitted a certificate to Medicare vowing to comply with Medicare rules and federal law before submitting millions in fraudulent claims.
He also allegedly fraudulently opened a New Hampshire bank account for Advanced Medical Supply, claiming that he would exercise exclusive control over the account which was in reality operated by one of the co-conspirators.
Anzivino and his associates allegedly submitted fraudulent Medicare billings for medical equipment that was medically unnecessary, not covered by Medicare, or never provided. Those fraudulent claims allegedly amounted to $6,325,040, and the conspirators reportedly received payments from the government program amounting to $2,844,617.
Anzivino then allegedly transferred those proceeds from the New Hampshire account into a separate Massachusetts account in an attempt to conceal that a different conspirator actually controlled the funds, the charging documents allege.
He currently faces charges of conspiracy to commit health care fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and money laundering.
The massive fraud conspiracy was prosecuted as part of the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) 2025 National Health Care Fraud Takedown that has resulted in charges for 324 defendants–including one in Lewiston, Maine–in welfare fraud schemes totalling $14.6 billion in attempted theft of taxpayer funds.

The enforcement operation included charges for individuals in all 50 states.
“This record-setting Health Care Fraud Takedown delivers justice to criminal actors who prey upon our most vulnerable citizens and steal from hardworking American taxpayers,” said Attorney General Pam Bondi.
“Make no mistake – this administration will not tolerate criminals who line their pockets with taxpayer dollars while endangering the health and safety of our communities,” she added.
The District of New Hampshire also saw charges for Erik Alonso, 54, of Miami, Florida, who allegedly submitted false claims to New Hampshire Medicaid for psychotherapy treatment that netted him $111,463.
Alonso, a clinical social worker, was excluded from billing federally funded programs following a 2015 fraud conviction. He worked as a telehealth operator in Laconia, New Hampshire, and reportedly failed to disclose his billing restrictions to his employer.
The defendant also reportedly exploited one of his patients by convincing the patient to aid him in personal tasks, including applying for medical licenses in other New England states and requesting a presidential pardon for his earlier fraud conviction.
