The Nurse Who Billed $906 Million for Dying Patients — Then Bought a Ferrari

A wound patch made from donated placental tissue. Priced at $1,450 per square centimeter. Applied to patients who were already dying. Billed to Medicare at more than $1 million per patient, on average. This is Marizel Cambri Yukee — a 49-year-old nurse practitioner who allegedly billed $906 million to Medicare and TRICARE through four mobile wound care clinics across four states. Roughly $297 million was actually paid. And prosecutors say she spent it on a $594,000 Ferrari 296 GTS, an $865,000 Bulgari necklace, and a $4.6 million beach resort in the Philippines. In this episode of Financial Crimes Explained, we break down the five-stage mechanics of how Yukee allegedly turned mobile hospice visits into a $906 million billing machine: identifying terminally ill patients, applying medically unnecessary amniotic allografts, falsifying medical records, billing Medicare and TRICARE, and repeating across Texas, Nevada, California, and Hawaii. We also examine how she was caught: not by a whistleblower, but by the 2026 National Health Care Fraud Takedown — the largest in DOJ history, with 455 defendants and $6.5 billion in alleged fraud. Yukee's case alone accounts for nearly one-seventh of that total. And we trace where the money went: $35.2 million in seized assets, eight vehicles, five Las Vegas properties, and a resort under construction — all funded, prosecutors allege, by billing that named dying patients as the justification. This is documented federal prosecution. Every detail comes from DOJ indictments, court filings, and official seizure records. — The $906 Million Nurse — The Trusted Face: Marizel Cambri Yukee — The Targets: Dying Patients — The Paper Trail: Five Steps to $906 Million — Where the Money Went: Ferrari, Necklace, Resort — The Charges: Wire Fraud, Kickbacks, Money Laundering — The Fallout: Shut Down, Seized, Erased — Why This Matters RELATED INVESTIGATIONS → The VP Who Sold Placental Tissue at a 2,000% Markup: https://youtu.be/8v1zr_n8OX4 → T
