A class action lawsuit has been filed against Ardent Health Inc. on behalf of investors who purchased the company’s securities between July 18, 2024, and November 12, 2025. The suit alleges that Ardent Health misrepresented its accounts receivable practices, claiming to use detailed reviews of historical collections to determine collectability and to maintain sufficient professional malpractice liability insurance. In reality, the lawsuit claims Ardent Health relied on a 180-day policy to fully reserve accounts, which resulted in reporting higher accounts receivable and delaying recognition of uncollectable losses. The complaint also states that the company’s liability reserves were insufficient to address increased risks in medical malpractice cases, particularly in its New Mexico operations. Investors are encouraged to seek counsel before the March 9, 2026, deadline to serve as lead plaintiff in the case.
