or contact Reed Kathrein, who is leading the firm’s investigation, by calling 510-725-3000 or emailing [email protected].
On December 7, 2016, BuzzFeed published an article entitled “Intake” detailing its year-long investigation into Universal Health Services facilities that were allegedly maximizing profits through illegal practices. UHS allegedly failed to disclose in SEC filings that (1) it improperly admitted patients to its facilities based on its own financial needs rather than based on medical necessity; (2) it improperly kept patients admitted until insurance payments expired; and (3) it lacked sufficient internal controls over patient admissions practices and policies.
News of UHS’s allegedly improper actions drove the price of Company shares down approximately 12% that day to close at $111.36 per share. The Company has publicly denied the accusations made in the BuzzFeed article.
“We’re focused on the matters published by BuzzFeed and the ongoing Federal investigation into UHS, all in the context of UHS’ reported history of False Claims Act settlements,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
Whistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding UHS 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. For more information, call Reed Kathrein at 510-725-3000 or email [email protected].
