Acadia Healthcare shares are trading lower following a report indicating the Veterans Department is investigating the company for insurance fraud.

<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/18/business/acadia-healthcare-veterans-affairs-investigation.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/18/business/acadia-healthcare-veterans-affairs-investigation.html</a>
The Veterans Affairs Department is investigating whether Acadia Healthcare, one of the country's largest chains of psychiatric hospitals, is defrauding government health insurance programs by holding patients longer than is medically necessary, according to three people with knowledge of the inquiry.
The investigation, led by the agency's inspector general, comes three weeks after <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/27/business/acadia-federal-investigations.html">Acadia told investors</a> that it was facing scrutiny for its admissions practices from several other federal investigators, including prosecutors in Manhattan and a grand jury in Missouri. The company, which relies on government insurance programs like Medicare and Medicaid for much of its revenue, said it was also expecting to receive inquiries from the Securities and Exchange Commission and other agencies.
Acadia told investors that it was "fully cooperating with authorities and, at this time, cannot speculate on whether the outcome of these investigations will have any impact on its business or operations." The company has denied claims that it was improperly holding patients and has said that all decisions about care are made by licensed medical professionals.
The Veterans Affairs Department did not immediately respond to questions about the new investigation.
&nbsp;
<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/01/business/acadia-psychiatric-patients-trapped.html">The New York Times reported</a> in September that Acadia was holding patients against their will in ways that appeared to violate state laws. The Times reported that some patients arrived at emergency rooms seeking routine mental health care but then were sent to Acadia facilities and locked in. The company's employees often held patients until their insurance coverage ran out, even when there was no medical justification.
The Times article was based on official complaints, court records and interviews with patients, as well as more than 50 current and former Acadia employees.
Last month, Acadia <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/26/health/acadia-doj-settlement-fbi.html">agreed to pay</a> almost $20 million to settle Justice Department claims that the company had defrauded government health insurers by holding patients longer than medically necessary and admitting people who didn't need to be there. Acadia did not acknowledge wrongdoing in that case, which covered conduct from 2014 through 2017.
The fresh round of investigations are focused on recent events. The veterans agency is looking into whether Acadia billed insurance programs for patients who were stable enough to be released and did not need intensive inpatient care, according to two of the people with knowledge of the investigation, who requested anonymity because it has not been made public.
Several former Acadia employees in Georgia and Missouri have also recently been interviewed by agents from the F.B.I. and the inspector general's office of the Health and Human Services Department.

Nasdaq Moves Lower; Fed's Preferred Inflation Gauge Falls More Than Projected

On Friday, Acadia Healthcare Company Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACHC#NASDAQ">ACHC</a>) agreed to pay $16.6 million to resolve allegations that it violated the False Claims Act by billing federal healthcare programs for unnecessary or non-compliant inpatient behavioral health services.
The company operates facilities across the United States. Four states involved in the case—Florida, Georgia, Michigan, and Nevada—will receive additional settlements of $3.2 million.
The allegations <a target="_blank" href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/acadia-healthcare-company-inc-pay-1985m-settle-allegations-relating-medically-unnecessary" rel="noreferrer noopener">stemmed</a> from Acadia&#8217;s conduct between 2014 and 2017, during which it allegedly admitted patients ineligible for inpatient treatment and kept them longer than necessary.
The United States contended that Acadia failed to provide adequate staffing and supervision, leading to serious harm to patients, including suicides and assaults. Additionally, the company was accused of failing to provide services that met federal and state standards, including insufficient therapy and discharge planning.
As a result, Acadia billed Medicare, Medicaid, and TRICARE for services that did not comply with required regulations.
New York Times report <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/26/health/acadia-doj-settlement-fbi.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">noted</a> that the government is investigating Acadia&#8217;s recent practices, as reported by multiple former employees from Georgia and Missouri who have recently spoken with agents from the FBI and the Health and Human Services Department&#8217;s inspector general&#8217;s office.
In Georgia, these employees, who worked in hospital emergency rooms assessing patients&#8217; needs for psychiatric facility referrals, reported that an FBI agent inquired about any pressure they felt to refer patients to Acadia&#8217;s hospitals.
Meanwhile, former nurses from Acadia in Missouri were questioned about the company&#8217;s pressure on them to label patients as uncooperative or combative, which was intended to justify extending their stays.
Robert DeConti, the inspector general&#8217;s chief counsel, stated that the settlement does not impede investigators from exploring allegations regarding more recent activities.
In a separate press release, Acadia Healthcare said the company is cooperating fully with authorities in response to a government investigation recently <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/09/b41065747/acadia-healthcare-issues-statement-with-respect-to-government-investigation" rel="noreferrer noopener">disclosed by the company</a>.
Recently, media reports surfaced concerning troubling patient <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/07/39803259/uhs-acadia-healthcare-navigate-scrutiny-amid-safety-concern-allegations-at-psychiatric-hospitals-o" rel="noreferrer noopener">experiences at Acadia&#8217;s facilities</a>.
Acadia&#8217;s Chief Executive Officer, Chris Hunter, addressed these reports, stating they are inconsistent with Acadia&#8217;s policies and do not reflect the medical complexities involved in behavioral healthcare.
Acadia is set to invest an additional $100 million in technology to improve patient and staff safety and enhance care coordination. This includes upgrades like electronic medical records (EMR) systems, wearable remote patient monitoring devices, staff communication and alert tools, and a cloud-based performance improvement platform.
These innovations will offer better transparency and oversight of clinical and quality operations across Acadia&#8217;s facilities.
In an SEC <a target="_blank" href="https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1520697/000119312524227393/d856245d8k.htm" rel="noreferrer noopener">filing</a>, Acadia Healthcare said the United States Attorney&#8217;s Office for the Southern District of New York issued a voluntary information request alongside a grand jury subpoena from the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri.
These inquiries pertain to Acadia&#8217;s admissions processes, patient stay length, and billing practices.
Additionally, Acadia&#8217;s subsidiary received a grand jury subpoena concerning similar issues. Acadia expects to receive additional document requests from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and may encounter further requests from other governmental bodies.
Price Action: ACHC stock is down 26.60% at $55.47 at the last check on Friday.
