Overview of the Zynex Class Action Lawsuit
In a significant legal development, national shareholder rights law firm Hagens Berman has brought to light a securities class action lawsuit against the former executives of Zynex, Inc. This legal move comes in the wake of serious allegations of systematic overbilling and a fraudulent revenue reporting scheme involving excessively shipping medical supplies to patients who did not require them.
The lawsuit, titled
Beidel v. Thomas Sandgaard, et al. and filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado, seeks to recover losses for investors who purchased Zynex securities between
February 25, 2021, and December 15, 2025. This case highlights a critical moment for investors, especially as they approach a key deadline of
April 21, 2026, for filing as Lead Plaintiff in this class action.
Allegations Against Zynex
The backbone of the lawsuit is the assertion that Zynex misled its investors through dishonest reporting of business growth, which the lawsuit terms as "record growth." However, this was alleged to be artificially inflated through a scheme of oversupplying medical supplies — particularly electrode pairs — well above what was medically necessary. The complaint emphasizes this practice not only deceived investors but also led to an alarming situation where Zynex faced serious legal ramifications involving the
Tricare military health program.
Systematic Overbilling Practices
According to the complaint, it is alleged that Zynex engaged in systematic overbilling by delivering up to
128 electrode pairs per month to individual patients, which is highly excessive and not clinically warranted. This unscrupulous tactic was reportedly employed to inflate billing rates for both government programs and private insurers. The grave implications of this included Tricare suspending substantial revenue payment streams, which accounted for around
25% of Zynex's income.
Legal Consequences and Bankruptcy
In a devastating twist, revelations regarding these fraudulent activities led to the indictment of former CEO
Thomas Sandgaard and former COO
Anna Lucsok for securities and healthcare fraud. These indictments precipitated immediate removal from their positions, while Zynex followed suit by filing for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The stock, which traded under the symbol
ZYXI before being suspended on December 24, 2025, has since been allowed to trade under
ZYXIQ, albeit at significantly diminished values.
Critical Steps for Investors
For those who invested in Zynex during the class period, contacting Hagens Berman is crucial to discussing potential claims. The firm is encouraging investors who experienced significant losses to act before the approaching April 21, 2026, deadline, which is when investors can apply to be a Lead Plaintiff.

Protecting the Rights of Whistleblowers
Moreover, Hagens Berman's investigative team strongly advocates for whistleblowers who possess non-public knowledge related to Zynex's practices. Those individuals are urged to consider their options for supporting the investigation while also exploring the SEC Whistleblower program, which offers rewards for invaluable information leading to successful recovery efforts.
In summary, as Zynex faces allegations that threaten its integrity and financial standing, affected investors must take immediate action to safeguard their interests. Engaging with experienced legal counsel is imperative for navigating the complexities surrounding these developments and ensuring they have a voice and a chance for recovery amidst the unfolding drama of corporate misconduct.
