TULSA, Okla. –
Oklahoma’s Attorney General has filed a lawsuit accusing a Tulsa-based neuropathy clinic of defrauding Medicaid out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. News On 6’s MaKayla Glenn investigated what led up to the lawsuit, spoke with patients and the clinic’s owner, and visited the facility.
What is the lawsuit about?
The lawsuit filed by the Oklahoma Attorney General alleges the Neuropathy Treatment Clinic of Oklahoma billed Medicaid for services that were not medically necessary or were never provided.

How much money is involved?
According to the lawsuit, from 2021 to 2025, the clinic’s owner billed Medicaid about $880,000. The state also said patients were given diluted injections while Medicaid was billed for larger amounts of medication and treatment than were actually used.
Who owns the clinic?
The lawsuit names James Linn Jr. as the owner. State officials say Linn does not hold any medical licenses but hired a doctor to oversee operations. Linn told News On 6 he has never hidden the fact that he is a businessman, not a medical provider.
“I want the public to know that our treatment is sound, and in my opinion, some of those people who walked through the doors, it’s life-saving. I believe we have saved thousands of lives,”
Linn said.
What did patients experience?
Jenna Jones says her daughter, Jayden, who has a traumatic brain injury from a car crash, was treated at the clinic. Jones says a nurse contacted her after seeing a social media post about Jayden’s condition, and the family drove from Kansas to Tulsa for treatment.
Jones says she later realized something felt off.
“We never really saw a doctor the whole time; we were dealing with the nurse,” she said. “I thought that was kind of odd, but I brushed it off.”
What does the clinic owner say?
Linn says he stands by the treatments provided at the clinic.
“It was not uncommon for people to come in in wheelchairs and walkers and to walk out of our clinic after several treatments,” he said.
However, Linn declined to comment on the billing allegations, citing ongoing litigation and deferring to his legal team.
Is the clinic still operating?
Although the clinic’s website says it closed last week, News On 6 found the building open with patients still being treated. Employees told Glenn the business is now operating as the Vein Treatment Clinic of Tulsa. That clinic’s website also says it’s closed as of March 25, 2026. One patient treated on the day of Glenn’s visit said they believed they were still being treated under the Neuropathy Treatment Clinic of Oklahoma.
How are patients reacting now?
Jones says she is angry and worried about the long-term impact on her daughter’s health.
“You make an oath in health care to do no wrong,” she said. “If they had done what they were supposed to do, would her neuropathy be better today?”
What happens next?
The lawsuit was filed on March 26. The case is pending in court in Tulsa, and the Attorney General’s office says it is seeking to recover funds it believes were improperly billed to Medicaid.
