The complaint alleges that Defendants issued materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business and engaged in a pattern of practice designed to achieve the most profitable number of therapy visits under the Medicare home health program by manipulating the number of patient visits -- regardless of patient need -- to maximize revenue.
On October 3, 2011, the Senate Finance Committee released a report indicating that LHC and engaged in practices that "at best represent abuses of the Medicare home program" and "[a]t worst, they may be examples of for-profit companies defrauding the Medicare home health program at the expense of taxpayers." On October 26, 2011, LHC lowered its earnings forecast, in part because of a payment to the federal government to settle an inquiry into whether LHC improperly billed for home health services that were medically unnecessary. Upon this news, LHC's stock price fell 15 percent.
