CHS said it received the subpoena on May 13 requesting documents related to various inquiries into the company's billing practices. The practices allegedly resulted in one-day admissions that should have been billed as observation status visits.
The hospital operator is currently being investigated by the Department of Justice and HHS following a lawsuit by Tenet Healthcare alleging improper billing resulting from the admission practices. CHS stockholders have also filed a suit against CHS for stock losses resulting from the alleged improper billings and resulting investigations.
