Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On August 20, 2013, a federal lawsuit was unsealed against Team Health Holdings Inc. and unrelated third parties in the Eastern District of California. The qui tam whistleblower complaint was filed in June 2011 and asserts violations of federal and state false claims acts based primarily on alleged misuse of a medical record template used to document the medical services provided to patients.
The federal government has declined to intervene in the case, and no state has intervened. We believe the allegations are without merit and, if the plaintiff pursues these allegations, we intend to vigorously defend against these allegations.
