Community Health provides services through the operation of hospitals in the United States. Specifically, the investigation relates to a lawsuit alleging that Community Health employed a number of improper admissions tactics in order to inflate revenue and profits, including encouraging medically unnecessary admissions at its hospitals to increase payments from Medicare.

In response to this news, Community Health shares fell $14.41 or more than 35 percent on April 11, 2011.
