NEW YORK, March 19, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pomerantz Haudek Grossman & Gross LLP www.pomerantzlaw.com)"> ("Pomerantz") has filed a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court, District of Massachusetts, against athenahealth, Inc. ("athenahealth" or the "Company") and certain of its senior managers. The class action complaint, docketed under 10-cv-10477, was filed on behalf of purchasers of athenahealth securities during the period between September 20, 2007 and February 25, 2010, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"). The Complaint alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.
athenahealth provides internet-based business services for physician practices in the United States and offers a revenue cycle management service that automates and manages billing-related functions. On February 25, 2010, after the market closed, athenahealth announced that its previously reported financial statements could no longer be relied upon, and that the Company would likely need to restate prior financial statements based on its methodology for calculating implementation revenue.
