Bright Health Group, Inc. (BHG) Securities Class Action:
The complaint alleges that Bright Health, senior executives and other responsible parties made false and misleading statements during and after the company's June 2021 initial public offering about the adaptability of the company's so-called "alignment" business model to continue to deliver improved medical cost ratios ("MCR"), a key metric dependent on capturing certain premium revenues.
Specifically, Defendants misrepresented and failed to disclose that Bright Health (1) overstated the company's post-IPO financial prospects in its offering documents, (2) was ill-equipped to handle the impact of COVID-19-related costs, (3) was experiencing a decline in premium revenues because of a failure to capture risk adjustment on newly added lives, and (4) all of the foregoing was reasonably likely to have a material negative impact on Bright Health's business and financial condition.
The truth emerged on Nov. 11, 2021, when Bright Health reported a whopping Q3 2021 $296.7 million net loss, or roughly $237.5 million higher than the prior year's period, and blamed the results on a sharp increase in its MCR, COVID-19, and reduced premium revenues due to an inability to capture risk adjustment on newly added lives.
This news drove the price of Bright Health shares 32% lower to close at $4.94 on Nov. 11, 2021, and over 70% below the company's $18/share IPO price.
"We're focused on investors' losses and proving the defendants misled investors about the adaptability of Bright Health's business model in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
