Attorney General Liz Murrill’s Louisiana Bureau of Investigation (LBI) arrested a Slidell couple for
defrauding Louisiana's Medicaid program of nearly $135,000.
The LBI received a criminal referral from Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) regarding allegations that 36-year-old Phuc and 34-year old Tran Pham, of Marais River Drive in Slidell, both Medicaid recipients, had intentionally underreported their income for purposes to receive Medicaid benefits. During this investigation, LBI agents learned that in the period between March 2022 and August 2025, Phuc and Tran Pham presented false information by failing to accurately report their marital status and true household income. As a result, the Pham’s defrauded the Medicaid program of nearly $135,000.
On April 23, 2026, LBI agents arrested Phuc Pham and Tran Pham pursuant to arrest warrants issued by the 19th Judicial District Court on charges of Government Benefits Fraud and Filing False Public Records.
The couple was booked without incident at the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison. Their bond information is unknown. The investigation continues.
