BALA CYNWYD, Pa., June 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC announces that is investigating potential claims against certain officers and directors of IPC The Hospitalist Company, Inc. ("IPCM" or the "Company") (NYSE: IPCM).

On June 7, 2010, the Department of Justice, U.S. Attorney's Office for Northern District of Illinois, issued a civil investigative demand to the company, requesting information concerning claims the company had submitted to Medicare and Medicaid.  On July 28, 2011, the company disclosed that a qui tam action had been filed against it.  On December 5, 2013, the qui tam action was unsealed and the federal government announced that it was intervening in the action. The qui tam action alleges that IPC encouraged its physicians to bill at the highest levels regardless of the level of service provided, trained physicians to use higher level codes to maximize billing, and that it pressured physicians with lower billing levels to catch up to their peers.

The investigation seeks to determine whether the IPCM board of directors breached its fiduciary duties to shareholders, mismanaged the Company, and violated state or federal laws resulting in losses for IPCM shareholders and the Company.
