San Diego, CA -- (SBWire) -- 06/05/2013 --An investigation on behalf of investors, who purchased shares of Chemed Corporation (NYSE:CHE), is currently pending concerning whether Chemed Corporation possibly violated securities laws in connection with certain statements.

More specifically, the complaint by the DOJ alleges, among other things, that Chemed and Vitas allegedly knowingly submitted, or caused the submission of, false claims to Medicare for crisis care services that were not necessary, not actually provided, or not performed in accordance with Medicare requirements.
