Kevin Curry, a 64-year-old licensed professional counselor residing in Frisco, was found guilty by a Fort Worth jury of participating in a multimillion-dollar scheme to defraud the federal government. The conviction centers on allegations that Curry prescribed unnecessary and fictitious transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy for depression to active-duty service members, veterans, and their families.
According to court documents, Curry misrepresented himself as a physician and used the credentials of other doctors without their knowledge to submit claims to TRICARE, the military's health insurer. Prosecutors stated that between September 2022 and the end of 2025, Curry billed insurance companies for $26 million in services. Of that total, TRICARE paid approximately $17 million.
In many instances, the records indicate that patients never actually received the treatments they were billed for.
The scheme involved paying patients $5.5 million in bribes and kickbacks. Court documents detail how Curry utilized the proceeds for personal and business expenses, including stays at five-star hotels, expensive furniture, a casino-themed party for staff and beneficiaries, and a gold-plated Tesla Cybertruck valued at over $100,000.
Curry operated clinics under the names Acuity TMS in Plano and Fort Worth, as well as Emerald Coast TMS in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. As of Friday, the websites for these clinics were no longer active. Curry did not respond to requests for comment via text message or phone call.
Assistant Attorney General Colin M. McDonald issued a statement describing the actions as an exploitation of a critical health care program and an affront to the military community and the American public.
