FBI investigating potential fraud at Addiction Recovery Care in Kentucky through online survey

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating treatment network Addiction Recovery Care (ARC) for potential healthcare fraud.

That’s according to an online survey uploaded by the FBI’s Louisville office. The Bureau is looking for information from patients and employees on their experiences with the network dating back to 2019.

The FBI says no other information about the investigation can be provided in the meantime.

ARC includes a network of more than 30 treatment centers in 22 counties. The Louisa-based company is one of the largest addiction treatment networks in Kentucky.

The company said in a statement they are cooperating fully with the investigation.

"We have recently learned that there is a federal investigation into ARC,” the statement reads. “As we all know, healthcare is one of the most highly regulated fields in the country, and addiction treatment is among the most highly scrutinized healthcare services. ARC is a trailblazer in the field of addiction services. We are confident in our program and in the services we offer. We, and our legal counsel, are cooperating fully in the investigation."

No charges have been made against ARC thus far.
