On November 17, 2015, a Denver television station reported that certain Adeptus facilities routinely overbilled patients. This news drove the price of Adeptus shares down over 22% the same day.
Recently, on November 1, 2016, Adeptus reported extremely disappointing third quarter revenues and earnings. This news drove the price of Adeptus shares down nearly 68%.
Adeptus failed to disclose its alleged overbilling practice and instead issued shares to investors in initial and secondary public offerings that raised over $500 million in net proceeds.
“The SEC requires issuers to disclose known trends or uncertainties that reasonably could have a material negative impact on them,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein. “Adeptus’ overbilling, if true, should have been disclosed.”
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.
