Magaly Travieso, 53, of Miami, has been charged with conspiracy to commit health care fraud, while her former spouse, Yudorki Ramirez, 52, also of Miami, faces charges of conspiracy to commit money laundering, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida announced on February 20, 2025.
According to court documents, Travieso, an advanced practice registered nurse, was the owner of ProMed Healthcare, L.L.C., a medical clinic that claimed to offer services like back and shoulder braces, physical therapy, psychosocial rehabilitation, and mental health therapy. The clinic served patients with commercial insurance, Medicare, Medicare Advantage Plans, and Medicaid.
From March 2019 to at least January 2023, Travieso allegedly conspired with others to submit fraudulent reimbursement claims amounting to over $20 million. As a result, ProMed Healthcare received more than $10 million in fraudulent payments.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office further revealed that Travieso and Ramirez used the fraud proceeds to fund a lavish lifestyle. Travieso reportedly spent about $75,000 of the stolen funds on a 2021 Land Rover Range Rover, which was registered under ProMed. Additionally, she allegedly spent approximately $750,000 on a Miami residence.
Ramirez is accused of using $141,923 from the fraud proceeds to purchase a Miami home and transferring over $2 million to his investment accounts.
In June 2024, law enforcement authorities seized Travieso’s Range Rover and more than $4 million in health care fraud proceeds from bank accounts linked to both Travieso and Ramirez.
This case highlights the ongoing efforts by the U.S. Attorney’s Office to crack down on health care fraud and money laundering, as authorities continue to investigate the illicit activities of the individuals involved.
