Magaly Travieso, 53, an advanced practitioner registered nurse and owner of ProMed Healthcare, L.L.C., was charged with conspiracy to commit health care fraud. Her former spouse, Yudorki Ramirez, 52, was charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering.

Prosecutors allege that from March 2019 through January 2023, Ms Travieso and others submitted fraudulent claims for medical services, including back and shoulder braces, physical therapy, and mental health therapy, to commercial insurance providers, Medicare, and Medicaid. Investigators said ProMed received over $10 million in fraudulent reimbursements.

According to prosecutors, Ms Travieso and Mr Ramirez used the proceeds for personal expenses, including purchasing homes and luxury assets. Travieso allegedly spent $75,000 on a 2021 Land Rover Range Rover and $750,000 on a residence in Miami, while Ramirez reportedly used over $141,000 in fraud proceeds to buy his home.

Prosecutors further allege that Mr Ramirez transferred more than $2 million into investment accounts.

Federal authorities seized Ms Travieso’s Range Rover and over $4 million in alleged fraud proceeds from bank accounts belonging to Travieso and Ramirez in June 2024.

The case is being investigated by the FBI Miami Field Office, the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG), and the Florida Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit.

The charges are allegations, and both defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.
