According to the complaint, HMS operates in the healthcare insurance benefit cost containment market in the United States. The company offers technology, data services and analytics to cover the payment continuum including eligibility verification, payment accuracy, fraud identification and prevention, cost savings, performance improvement, and provider education.
The Class Period commences on May 10, 2016, when the company filed a Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.
The complaint alleges that, on March 2, 2017, the company filed a Form NT 10-K with the SEC stating that it would not be able to timely file its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. In the filing, the company stated, “Additional time is needed to complete documentation related to the Company’s previously disclosed review of its CMS reserves and related internal controls over financial reporting. In this regard, the Company’s auditor has informed the Company that it has identified what it believes is a material weakness in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting related to the CMS reserves.”
Following this news, the company’s shares fell $0.47 per share or over 2.47% to close at $18.50 per share on March 3, 2017.
The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the company lacked effective internal control over financial reporting; and (2) as a result of the foregoing, the company’s financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

Any member of the purported class may move the court to serve as a lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an inactive class member.
