Accretive Health is a provider of revenue cycle management services for hospitals and healthcare providers in the United States.  On February 26, 2013, Accretive Health announced that it would postpone the release of fourth quarter and full-year financial results because of concerns related to its revenue recognition practices under its revenue cycle management agreements with its customers.  Relatedly, the Company announced that it was withdrawing its financial guidance provided on November 12, 1012.  The market reacted swiftly to this news on February 27, 2013, causing the Company's stock price to drop nearly 30% in intra-day trading on heavy volume.

Harwood Feffer has been representing individual and institutional investors for many years, serving as lead counsel in numerous cases in federal and state courts.  Please visit the Harwood Feffer LLP website (http://www.hfesq.com) for more information about the firm.
