or contact Reed Kathrein, who is leading the firm’s investigation, by calling 510-725-3000 or emailing ADPT@hbsslaw.com.
On November 17, 2015, an NBC-affiliated television station in Denver, Colorado reported that certain Adeptus Colorado facilities engaged in a pattern and practice of overbilling patients. In response, the price of Adeptus shares fell over 22% to $46.50 on November 17, 2015.
Adeptus failed to disclose their alleged practice of overbilling, instead conducting two secondary public offerings in 2014 and 2015 that reaped over $500 million in net proceeds. Hagens Berman continues to investigate further potential wrongdoing.
“SEC rules are quite clear that issuers must disclose to investors known trends or uncertainties that reasonably could have a material negative impact on the issuer,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein. “Adeptus’ predatory conduct, if true, should have been disclosed to investors.”
Whistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding Adeptus should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program. Under the new SEC whistleblower program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC.
