FBI seeking victims of nationwide health care fraud scheme connected to Oregon case

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — The Federal Bureau of Investigation is looking for victims of a possible health care fraud case involving Bene Market Group and the companies it operates.

The other companies include Seguro Medico, Quick Health, Nation Insurance Brokers of America, Benefits Now, Bene Market, Quickhealth, Q Health and Express Benefits.

An Oregon Division of Financial Regulation investigation found that Seguro and its co-owner, Arthur Walsh, enrolled customers in insurance plans without their consent. They also made false statements, sent inappropriate communications, forged a former employee’s signature and used Walsh’s credentials to submit applications for other agents.

As a result, the division issued a cease-and-desist order and revoked the licenses of Seguro Medico, doing business as Quick Health, for violating the state insurance code in 2024.

Walsh, the companies, and three other individuals were charged by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania with conspiracy as well as wire fraud in connection with a nationwide telemarketing scam.

According to court records obtained by KOIN 6 News, Bene Market’s other owner, Alan Redmond, made thousands of dollars in purchases using company funds for his own benefit.

The purchases include real property, airline tickets, event tickets, limousine services, vehicle purchases, mortgage payments and partnership distributions. The indictment also states that during the same time, he failed to pay taxes withheld from employee paychecks to the IRS.
