Javaria Jabeen and Allendor Brown
Introduction
Dr. Javaria Jabeen, a licensed Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine who owned and operated clinics in Flower Mound and Grand Prairie, Texas, and Allendor Kenyon Brown, a retired U.S. Postal Service employee and former union official, were arrested and charged in a superseding federal indictment alleging a years-long scheme to defraud the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act program of approximately $19 million in fraudulent medical claims. The October 7, 2026 indictment unsealed by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas named the two as the previously unidentified figures behind a case that began with the July 2025 National Health Care Fraud Takedown. Both are charged with conspiracy to commit health care fraud; neither has been tried, and both are presumed innocent.
Background Information
The case grew out of the July 2025 takedown, when prosecutors in the Northern District of Texas charged chiropractor Demitrious Gilmore with conspiracy to commit health care fraud. His indictment referenced two unindicted coconspirators — a physician and a former U.S. Postal Service employee and union official. Gilmore later pleaded guilty. The superseding indictment returned October 7, 2026 charges those two individuals by name: Dr. Javaria Jabeen, the physician, and Allendor Kenyon Brown, the postal employee. U.S. Attorney Ryan Raybould announced the charges in an October 23, 2026 release, alongside officials of the Department of Labor and U.S. Postal Service Offices of Inspector General.
The Controversy or Incident That Led to Their Cancellation
Indicted, not tried. The charges are allegations in a federal indictment. The defendants are presumed innocent and entitled to trial; nothing here has been adjudicated.
According to the indictment, from 2017 to 2023 the defendants engaged in a scheme to submit false and fraudulent claims to the Department of Labor’s Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs, which administers FECA — the program providing medical and wage benefits to federal employees injured on the job. Federal prosecutors allege Dr. Jabeen, working with the chiropractor Gilmore and with assistance from Brown, billed FECA for medical equipment and services that were ineligible for reimbursement, medically unnecessary, or never provided. The bill of particulars cited in the release includes expensive knee braces that claimants did not need or receive, physical therapy sessions that did not occur, and platelet-rich plasma infusions and at-home ultrasonic devices allegedly never performed or provided.
Brown’s alleged role was recruitment and approval-brokerage: the indictment accuses him of recruiting federal employees to the clinics and assisting in efforts to secure FECA claim approvals, and alleges he was compensated through an entity registered in his control to conceal the payments. In total, prosecutors say the conspirators submitted roughly $19 million in fraudulent claims, resulting in at least $17 million in payments from the FECA program, with each participant allegedly receiving a share of the proceeds.
Public Reaction and Consequences
The Justice Department’s announcement framed the case as a warning to practitioners who treat federal benefit programs as a revenue source. “Those who exploit federal programs designed to protect injured workers undermine both the integrity of our system and the trust of the public,” U.S. Attorney Ryan Raybould said, adding that anyone who enriches themselves “at the expense of hard-working American taxpayers will not escape justice in the Northern District of Texas.” Labor Inspector General Anthony P. D’Esposito called it a “calculated, years-long conspiracy to conceal payments and to steal millions of dollars in taxpayer funds through fabricated medical claims for unnecessary services that were not performed,” and USPS Inspector General personnel said the charges show some in the health care industry “continue to place greed over patient care.” Jabeen and Brown were both arrested and had their initial appearances on October 14, 2026. Each faces a maximum sentence of 10 years’ imprisonment if convicted.
Current Status
Jabeen and Brown have been arrested, made initial appearances, and await further proceedings on the conspiracy charge; arraignments and trial dates were not announced in the release. The case was investigated by the U.S. Department of Labor Office of Inspector General and the U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Douglas Brasher of the Fraud Section prosecuting. The Justice Department’s own reminder accompanies the charges: an indictment is merely an allegation of criminal conduct, and the defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Impact on Their Career/Life
A physician whose clinics anchored the alleged billing operation and a retired postal union official who allegedly fed it federal-employee recruits now share a felony indictment that caps a combined scheme at roughly $19 million in claims and $17 million in paid-out program funds. For Jabeen, the charge lands on a medical license built on clinic ownership in two North Texas cities; for Brown, it converts a union-official retirement into a defendant’s role in one of the larger FECA fraud cases the district has charged. Both max out at 10 years if convicted — and the government’s takedown-origin framing signals the case is considered closed at the charging level, not exploratory.
