According to the complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the the District of Colorado the plaintiff alleges on behalf of purchasers of Davita Inc (NYSE:DVA) common shares between August 5, 2015 and October 21, 2016, that the defendants violated Federal Securities Laws. More specifically, the plaintiff claims that between August 5, 2015 and October 21, 2016, the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that the Company and its senior executives purposefully steered patients into unnecessary insurance plans in order to maximize profits, that the Company was using American Kidney Fund as a vehicle to facilitate these improper practices, that as a result, DaVita's revenues and profits were illegally obtained, that in turn, DaVita lacked effective internal controls over financial reporting, and that as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' statements about DaVita's business, operations, and prospects were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On August 18, 2016, The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services issued a public request for information regarding the alleged steering of Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries into other plans in order to earn higher reimbursement rates.

On October 23, 2016, an article was published entitled "DaVita encouraged some low-income patients to enroll in commercial plans" which directly accused Davita Inc of steering clients to private insurers and utilizing its own money to pay for health insurance premiums through the American Kidney Fund. Shares of Davita Inc declined from $78.18 per share in July 2016 to as low as $54.50 per share on October 28, 2016

On January 6, 2017, after the close of trading, an article was published revealing that Davita Inc allegedly had received subpoenas from federal prosecutors seeking "the production of information related to charitable premium assistance" in connection with Davita Inc's ties to the American Kidney Fund, a charity that helps patients pay for kidney dialysis.

Those who purchased shares of Davita Inc have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
