NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / August 26, 2016 / Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC is investigating potential claims on behalf of purchasers of the securities American Renal Associates Holdings, Inc. ("American Renal Associates" or the "Company") (NYSE: ARA). Such investors are advised to contact Peretz Bronstein or his investor relations analyst, Yael Hurwitz at info@bgandg.com or 212-697-6484.
The investigation concerns whether American Renal Associates and certain of its officers and/or directors have breached its fiduciary duties to shareholders and engaged in Health Insurance Fraud.
According to the complaint, American Renal Associates engaged in a "fraudulent and illegal scheme" to obtain higher reimbursement payments by convincing patients to sign up for health insurance plans with UnitedHealthcare of Florida, Inc. UnitedHealthcare of Ohio, Inc. and All Savers Insurance Company (collectively, "United") for dialysis services given for patients suffering from end-stage renal disease. American Renal Associates purposely targeted Medicaid- and Medicare-eligible patients to persuade them to switch from their affordable government insurance plan to join United's plans in order to boost its own profits when billing. Medicare and Medicaid pay American Renal Associates roughly $300 per dialysis session, while American Renal Associates does not have a contracted rate for United's plans, and has allegedly billed United up to twenty times the Medicaid and Medicare rate. United has thus overpaid millions of dollars to American Renal Associates as part of its unprincipled billing scheme.
