EQUITY ALERT: Khang & Khang LLP Announces Securities Class Action Lawsuit against Tenet Healthcare Corporation and Encourages Investors with Losses to Contact the Firm

IRVINE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 18, 2016 / Khang & Khang LLP (the “Firm”) announces a class action lawsuit against Tenet Healthcare Corporation (“Tenet”or the “Company”) (NYSE: THC). Investors who purchased or otherwise acquired shares between February 28, 2012 and October 3, 2016 inclusive (the “Class Period”), are encouraged to contact the Firm prior to the December 6, 2016 lead plaintiff motion deadline.

If you purchased shares of Tenet during the Class Period, please contact Joon M. Khang, Esquire, of Khang & Khang, 18101 Von Karman Avenue, 3rd Floor, Irvine, CA 92612, by telephone: (949) 419-3834, or via e-mail at joon@khanglaw.com.

There has been no class certification in this case. Until certification occurs, you are not represented by an attorney. You may choose to take no action and remain a passive class member.

The Complaint alleges that during the Class Period, Tenet made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: the Company illegally paid kickbacks to induce the referral of patients to Tenet’s hospitals for labor and delivery; that Tenet defrauded the Georgia Medicaid program through this scheme; and that as a result of the above, statements about Tenet’s business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. On August 1, 2016, Tenet announced that it reached an agreement in principle with federal and state authorities that the Company would pay nearly $514 million to settle allegations that four Tenet hospitals in Georgia and South Carolina paid kickbacks for obstetric referrals. Under the settlement, two Tenet subsidiaries would plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to violate federal kickback laws. On October 3, 2016, Tenet issued a press release and filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC, announcing that the Company finalized the agreement in principle announced on August 1, 2016. When this information emerged to the public, shares of Tenet dropped in value, causing investors harm.
