Pomerantz Law Firm's Class Action Against Nutex Health Inc.

On October 18, 2025, the Pomerantz Law Firm announced that a class action lawsuit was initiated against Nutex Health Inc. (NASDAQ: NUTX) along with specific officers of the company. The legal action, filed in the Southern District of Texas, pertains to individuals and entities who acquired Nutex securities from August 8, 2024, to August 14, 2025 — a time frame designated as the "Class Period". The lawsuit seeks to recover damages stemming from violations of federal securities laws, notably under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5.

For those who purchased Nutex securities during this timeframe, there stands a deadline of October 21, 2025 to petition the Court to be appointed as Lead Plaintiff for the class.

Background on Nutex Health

Founded as a healthcare services provider, Nutex operates primarily in the out-of-network space, running 24 hospital facilities across 11 states. The company generates its revenue largely from contracts with patients and third-party payors, with over 90% of net patient service revenue emanating from such payors. However, Nutex's hospital facilities primarily bill patients at out-of-network rates, presenting both challenges and financial opportunities.

Before the enactment of the No Surprises Act (NSA) in January 2022, patients receiving care from out-of-network providers faced unexpected balance billing, sometimes leading to financial distress. Recognizing the fallout from surprise billing, Congress intervened to protect consumers, mandating that out-of-network claims be covered at in-network rates to prevent exorbitant costs and surprise bills.

Despite these safeguards, Nutex faced obstacles post-NSA, notably lower payments from insurers for its out-of-network services. By March 2023, the company reported a 30% decline in average payments by insurers for emergency services, signaling a significant shift in its revenue landscape.

The Class Action Allegations

The heart of the lawsuit against Nutex consists of claims that there were materially false and misleading representations made by the company's officials regarding its operational status and market prospects. Specifically, these claims suggest that Nutex's relationship with its third-party IDR vendor, HaloMD, yielded illegitimate financial benefits through fraudulent means — claims that it allegedly overstated to investors.

Furthermore, the Complaint asserts that Nutex consistently acknowledged weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting, which indicate a lack of adequate systems for addressing potential misstatements in its financial disclosures. Despite announcing initiatives to remediate these weaknesses, Nutex's assertions might have been misleading, further eroding investor trust.

The lawsuit escalated after Blue Orca Capital published a report alleging that HaloMD was engaging in fraudulent gamesmanship to secure inflated reimbursements from insurance companies. Blue Orca's report spotlighted lawsuits brought against HaloMD, further bolstering the criticisms levied against Nutex's operational integrity. The ramifications were felt immediately, with Nutex's stock undergoing significant volatility in response to these revelations.

Company's Response and Future Outlook

Nutex has publicly disputed the allegations raised in the Blue Orca Report and indicated plans to issue clarifications in upcoming financial disclosures. However, the company has already experienced notable stock price declines as it has struggled to navigate the complexities of compliance and investor sentiment.

The unfolding events surrounding Nutex Health and its legal challenges present a cautionary tale about the interplay of healthcare operations, investor trust, and regulatory compliance. Shareholders and potential investors alike are encouraged to stay informed and vigilant as the class action progresses and the broader implications on Nutex's future become clearer.

For updates, affected investors are advised to consult legal resources and monitor communications from Pomerantz LLP as the situation unfolds. Investigating one’s own rights as a shareholder in light of these developments could prove beneficial, especially amid the ongoing volatility in Nutex's stock performance.
