A federal jury convicted Frisco clinic owner Kevin D. Curry on nine counts after prosecutors presented evidence that his clinics billed TRICARE more than $26 million for fraudulent mental-health treatment and paid more than $5.5 million in kickbacks.
The Justice Department reported that TRICARE paid approximately $17 million on the claims.
The conviction is established by the reported jury verdict. The financial figures and descriptions of the underlying conduct come from the Justice Department’s account of the trial evidence and have not been independently verified against the verdict form, trial exhibits or complete court records.
Curry’s sentence, any restitution, forfeiture and final judgment remain pending unless confirmed by subsequent court records.
According to the Justice Department, the jury convicted Curry, 64, on three counts of health care fraud, three counts of offering and paying illegal health care kickbacks, and three counts of engaging in monetary transactions in criminally derived property.
The Justice Department announced the conviction September 25. The verdict form and complete docket materials were not obtained for this report.
According to DOJ’s account of the trial evidence, Curry used his clinics to submit TMS claims to TRICARE. TMS, or transcranial magnetic stimulation, is a legitimate treatment with recognized medical applications. DOJ reported that the government’s evidence showed the claims involved treatment that was medically unnecessary or was not provided.
DOJ also reported that Curry falsely represented himself as a medical doctor, used physicians’ credentials without their knowledge or consent and directed employees to create medical records supporting the claims.
Those details describe the government’s trial presentation and are not treated here as independently verified findings beyond the conduct encompassed by the convictions.
Curry owned and operated Acuity TMS of Plano LLC, Acuity TMS of Fort Worth LLC and Emerald Coast TMS of Fort Walton Beach LLC in Florida, according to DOJ.
The department reported that the clinics billed TRICARE for TMS services and that Curry offered and paid more than $5.5 million in kickbacks to induce active-duty servicemembers, veterans and family members to participate in treatment.
DOJ further reported that some beneficiaries did not qualify for treatment and, in many instances, did not receive it.
The available record does not establish which specific clinic, beneficiary, claim or transaction corresponded to each amount or count.
The case involves three principal figures reported by the Justice Department:
More than $26 million billed: claims DOJ says the clinics submitted for false, fraudulent or kickback-tainted TMS services.
Approximately $17 million paid: the amount DOJ says TRICARE paid on those claims.
More than $5.5 million in kickbacks: the amount DOJ says was offered or paid to induce participation.
These figures measure different parts of the government’s account and should not be added as separate taxpayer losses. None is presented as a court-ordered restitution or forfeiture amount. The available materials do not establish that the court has adopted any of them as the final amount owed.
DOJ also reported that trial evidence showed Curry spent some proceeds on hotels, a casino-themed party and a gold-plated Tesla Cybertruck valued at more than $100,000. Those expenditures reflect the government’s account of how proceeds were allegedly used. They are not additional amounts to add to TRICARE’s reported payments, and no court-ordered financial treatment of those expenditures has been confirmed.
TRICARE provides health benefits to eligible military personnel, retirees and family members.
According to DOJ, the government’s evidence showed that the scheme used beneficiaries, physicians’ credentials and supporting records to obtain payments from that federal health benefits system.
The claims targeted a federal program intended to pay for eligible care for military families and retirees. The available materials do not independently establish the amount of any final program loss beyond the Justice Department’s reported payment figure.
The Justice Department says each count carries a maximum statutory penalty of 10 years in prison. That is a statutory ceiling, not a sentence imposed by the court or an indication that Curry will receive 90 years.
A federal judge will determine the sentence after considering the applicable statutes, the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other relevant factors. No sentencing date was included in the September 25 DOJ release.
The record reviewed for this article does not establish whether the court has entered a final judgment, restitution order, forfeiture order, sentencing memorandum or guideline calculation, or a schedule for sentencing and related hearings.
Accordingly, the final sentence, financial obligations and count-specific factual findings remain unconfirmed.

CURRENT STATUS:
Convicted according to the reported jury verdict; awaiting sentencing.
The next documents should clarify the scope and consequences of the conviction: the verdict form, criminal docket, presentence and sentencing filings, final judgment, and any restitution or forfeiture order.
The verdict form would establish the jury’s specific determinations, while the judgment and related orders would establish the court’s final legal and financial consequences.
Until those records are obtained, this article treats the nine-count conviction as the established result and the financial figures and detailed descriptions of the scheme as DOJ-reported trial evidence.
For now, the established result is a nine-count federal conviction involving claims against TRICARE. The sentence, restitution, forfeiture and any final court-adopted financial findings remain pending or unconfirmed in the records reviewed for this article.
Verified through September 26, 2026. The jury conviction and count descriptions are attributed to the Justice Department’s announcement.
