What Is the Investigation About?
The investigation concerns allegations regarding Ensign Group’s oversight of its skilled nursing facilities, regulatory compliance, and Medicare and Medicaid billing.
On June 11, 2026, short seller Muddy Waters Research published a report concerning Ensign Group. The report stated that Muddy Waters “. . . conclude[d] that Ensign engages in a systematic scheme at an estimated ~20% of Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) to rent the licenses of Administrators who are not generally present at, nor actually managing, the facilities.”
Muddy Waters stated that it “. . . believe[d] this scheme, which could amount to fraud against states, Medicare, and Medicaid, is the pillar upon which Ensign’s acquisition strategy and margins is built.”
Additionally, the report stated that “[u]nder the False Claims Act, if these practices have been in place for one year at ~20% of facilities, [Muddy Waters] estimate[d] the violations carry theoretical sanctions in the billions of dollars.”
Kehoe Law Firm is evaluating whether the Company’s officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties in connection with these matters and whether corporate governance reforms or other relief may be appropriate for Ensign Group.
