Gallagher Clarifies Non-Ownership in Florida ACA Fraud Case, Resolves Federal Investigation
Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., a global insurance brokerage, has clarified its non-ownership of AssuredPartners of South Florida (APSF), a firm involved in a fraudulent scheme related to the Affordable Care Act (ACA). APSF, which was once owned by AssuredPartners Inc., pleaded guilty to charges and agreed to pay $27.6 million as part of a federal investigation settlement. Additionally, AssuredPartners will pay $107 million to resolve False Claims Act violations. The scheme involved signing up homeless individuals in South Florida for ACA policies, generating millions in commissions for those involved. Gallagher emphasized that it was aware of the investigation during its acquisition of AssuredPartners in 2025 and that APSF was not part of the acquisition.
