SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SelectQuote Inc. (NYSE: SLQT), a digital insurance platform known for selling Medicare Advantage plans, is facing heightened legal scrutiny after the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) intervened in a whistleblower lawsuit alleging deceptive sales practices. The federal action triggered a sharp 19% drop in SelectQuote’s share price on May 1, 2025, and has now led to a securities class-action lawsuit filed on behalf of investors. The suit, Pahlkotter v. SelectQuote Inc. et al., covers investors who purchased SelectQuote stock between September 9, 2020, and May 1, 2025, and alleges that the company misled the market about its business model and regulatory exposure. Hagens Berman urges SelectQuote investors who suffered substantial losses to submit your losses now.

While the company publicly promoted its services as offering “unbiased advice” and “neutral plan comparisons,” the lawsuit asserts that SelectQuote: Steered customers toward plans from insurers offering the highest commissions.Accepted illegal kickbacks in exchange for preferential treatment.Violated federal statutes, including the False Claims Act The DOJ’s complaint alleges that from 2016 through at least 2021, SelectQuote received tens of millions of dollars in improper payments and discriminated against less profitable customers by directing them away from lower-margin plans.

Over the past six months, shares have declined more than 40%, reflecting investor concern over the company’s legal exposure and potential reputational damage.
