Who Is Dr. Jacques Roy?
Dr. Jacques Roy was a Dallas-based physician who built a respected house-call medical practice serving vulnerable, homebound patients. In 2011, his life and career were upended by a high-profile Medicare fraud investigation that led to his arrest and a 35-year federal sentence.
What was presented to the public as a record-breaking fraud case was, in reality, a deeply flawed legal proceeding based on forged documents, misapplied Medicare regulations, and the exclusion of critical exculpatory evidence.
This site presents the facts, the evidence, and the overlooked truth behind a case that has far-reaching implications for both the healthcare industry and the integrity of the U.S. justice system.
About the Case
A Misunderstood Rule. A Misguided Prosecution.
-
In June 2011, federal agents raided Dr. Roy’s office and seized over 22,000 patient records.
-
Prosecutors misinterpreted Medicare’s “homebound” definition, excluding expert testimony that could have clarified the law.
-
Forged signatures were used as evidence. Key witnesses admitted to lying, but were still used to testify.
-
Dr. Roy was convicted while the individuals who orchestrated the fraud received minimal sentences.
