THE COMPANY: Founded in 2001, Ardent Health runs a network of 30 hospitals and more than 280 care locations across six states, serving mid-sized communities with a broad mix of healthcare services.
THE ALLEGED WRONGDOING: On November 12, 2025, Ardent Health announced its third-quarter 2025 results, which fell short of expectations, largely due to a rise in insurance claim denials and a $54 million adjustment tied to unfavorable developments from prior claims and litigation in New Mexico involving a former provider. The company also revised its accounting estimates to recognize reserves earlier in the claims process, which resulted in a $43 million reduction in reported revenue for the quarter.
On this news, Ardent Health's stock price fell by over 33% on November 13, 2025.
