02.10.2002 15:35:00
Der amerikanische Krankenhaus-Betreiber Tenet Healthcare Corp. gab am Mittwoch bekannt, dass seine Umsätze im abgelaufenen Quartal angestiegen sind. Das Unternehmen bezieht diese positive Entwicklung hauptsächlich auf durchgeführte Restrukturierungsmaßnahmen und Kostensenkungen.
Der Jahresüberschuss wurde mit 338 Mio. Dollar oder 68 Cents je Aktie ausgewiesen nach 155 Mio. Dollar oder 45 Cents je Aktie im Vorjahreszeitraum. Die Konsensschätzungen der Analysten lagen bei 66 Cents je Aktie.
Die Umsätze stiegen auf 3,7 Mrd. Dollar von 3,3 Mrd. Dollar. Die Aktie notierte zuletzt bei 50,10 Dollar.
Waren doch reichlich Patienten nach fragwürdigen OP`s verstorben, glaub ich mal irgendwo in US- Boards gelesen zu haben.
Wäre da wegen mög. Klagen vorsichtig.
Kann mich bezüglich Tenet aber auch irren.
Habe die persönlich nämlich nicht auf Watch.

Es sollen ein paar Ärzte nicht richtig abgerechnet haben.
Der Pressesprecher von Tenet hat angekündigt, daß man eine
genaue Prüfung von neutraler Stelle zulassen wird.
Der Anleger erinnerte sich an Enron und schon ging es abwärts.
Denke, daß Risiko ist überschaubar.
Sollten sich die Vorwürfe gegen Tenet nicht erhärten, sind
wieder Kurse um die $30,00 drin sind,
ansonsten Stopp-Loss bei EUR 16,00 wieder raus...
Zapf läuft doch super; bei Apple werden es die nächsten Zahlen

Sieht doch ganz gut aus

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Nov 20 (Reuters) - Calpers has agreed to a labor union's request for the U.S. pension giant to review pricing and medical practices at hospital chain Tenet Healthcare Corp, which is under federal investigation, a Calpers spokeswoman said on Wednesday.
The California Public Employees' Retirement System, or Calpers, will hear the concerns of the labor union -- already engaged in a bitter organizing dispute with the nation's No. 2 hospital chain -- at the pension fund's next meeting in December, said pension fund spokeswoman Pat Macht.
Macht said staff would prepare a report for the pension fund's investment committee on the hospital chain which faces a federal audit for its nationwide Medicare billing.
"We read the papers like anyone else," Macht said. "Staff members are checking with the health maintenance organizations about it and what the impact might be on Calpers members."
The Service Employees International Union, which is locked in a battle to organize Tenet hospitals, wants Calpers to look into charges the chain deliberately inflated charges and failed to hold medical staff accountable for the quality of care.
Tenet spokesman Steven Campanini brushed off the union's request to air their grievances before the Calpers board, saying it stemmed from efforts to organize at hospitals across the country.
"It is important their request be viewed in that light," Campanini said. "The company is already reviewing pricing policy as part of a more comprehensive review by senior management."
Calpers contracts with hospitals through its approved health maintenance organizations. For this reason, Macht said she was not sure what sort of action the $128-billion pension fund could take against Tenet.
Even so, the Calpers action comes at a tough time for Tenet, whose stock has nose-dived since October amid a federal audit of its billing and an investigation into two California doctors who allegedly performed unnecessary heart procedures on scores of patients.
Shares of Tenet, which closed on Wednesday at $17.85 on the New York Stock Exchange, have dropped by 64 percent since the start of October.

ANGABEN OHNE GEWÄHR
Hier nochmal die Meldung im Barrons:
Das bekannte US-Anlegermagazin Barron's bezeichnet Tenet Healthcare in der aktuellen Ausgabe als "unglaublich günstig." Der Hedge Funds Manager Charles Jobson von Charles Jobson, dessen Fonds seit Jahresanfang 25.5% im Plus liegt, kaufte die Aktien von Tenet erstmals bei $28 und kaufte dann aggressiv zwischen $14-15 nach.
"Wie schlimm es auch werden könnte, es wird nicht so schlimm werden, wie dies der Aktienkurs vermuten lassen könnte. Die Aktie ist unglaublich günstig," sagt er. Jobson zeigt sich darüber hinaus bullish den Aktien von PacifiCare gegenüber. Das Unternehmen sei ein "Turnaround Play," sagt er.

Rating-Update:
Die Analysten von Sun Trust Robinson Humphrey stufen die Aktie von Tenet Healthcare (WKN 858003) von "underperform" auf "neutral" herauf.
Aber bei diesem Papier sollte man die Risiken gut abwägen, denn der Ausgang der Klagen ist in keinster Weise absehbar.
Auf der anderen Seite kann ich mir nicht vorstellen, daß in Amerika ein so großer Krankenhausbetreiber vor die Hunde gehen wird....

Irgendetwas kommt mir hier komisch vor:
Shareholders Pursue Stock Fraud Suit Against Tenet Healthcare Corporation, Berman DeValerio Pease Tabacco Burt & Pucillo Says -- THC
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 3, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Tenet Healthcare Corporation (NYSE:THC) is the subject of a securities class action accusing the for-profit hospital chain of defrauding its investors, Berman DeValerio Pease Tabacco Burt & Pucillo said today.
The lawsuit was filed November 14, 2002 in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. It seeks damages for violations of federal securities laws on behalf of all investors who bought Tenet securities from October 3, 2001 through October 31, 2002 (the Class Period).
Berman DeValerio has represented investors in class actions for 20 years. To review the complaint and learn more about becoming a lead plaintiff, please visit the firm's website at www.bermanesq.com.
The lawsuit claims that Tenet artificially inflated its financial results by using aggressive pricing tactics to over-bill Medicare.
Investors began to learn the truth about Tenet on October 28, 2002 when a UBS Warburg analyst revealed that the company was far more dependent than other hospitals on Medicare outlier payments, and that those payments had tripled over 3 years to total nearly a quarter of Tenet's projected revenue for this fiscal year. Outlier payments are reimbursements made from Medicare when patient care exceeds the normal cost.
Then, on October 31, 2002, news broke that the FBI was investigating two doctors at Tenet's Redding Medical Center in California for allegedly performing many unnecessary heart surgeries and billing Medicare for them, thus artificially boosting the hospital's revenue and profits. According to the news articles, the two doctors had performed these unnecessary and invasive procedures on as many as 25 to 50 percent of their patients since at least 1995. Three other doctors associated with Tenet had concluded that many of the procedures were "medically unnecessary," but Tenet refused to investigate or stop the practice after hearing of the complaints, according to the lawsuit.
As a result of these revelations, Tenet's stock price has dropped from an all-time high of $52.50 per share on Oct. 3, 2002 to around $15 per share today, erasing a staggering $11 billion in market value.

Tenet Healthcare: Profits Will Fall Short
Tuesday December 3, 5:26 pm ET
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Embattled hospital operator Tenet Healthcare Corp.
(NYSE:THC - News), warned on Tuesday that its fiscal 2003 and 2004 profits
will fall short of expectations due to lower insurance reimbursements.
Tenet, reeling after two of its
doctors were accused of
excessive surgeries and under
the shadow of a U.S. government
probe into pricing at its hospitals,
spelled out the new forecasts in a
call with investors.
Jeffrey Barbakow, chief executive
officer of the No. 2 hospital chain,
said he was working on "what
went wrong (at Tenet) and how I
failed to see it."
For the fiscal year ending in May,
Tenet said it expects to earn
$2.38 to $2.78 per share, short of its estimate last month for a profit of at least
$2.93 per share.
For fiscal 2004, Tenet sees a "base case" EPS of $2.00 per share, well below
the average Wall Street estimate of $2.93, according to market research firm
Thomson First Call.
Rechtfertigen $2,38 pro Aktie Gewinn einen Kurs um die $20,00
oder gibt die Gewinnwarnung der Aktie den Rest.
Werde heute entscheiden, ob ich drin bleibe oder rausgehe;
irgendwie gruselt es mich allmählich, zu dem gestern 4 oder
5 Meldungen kamen, daß Altaktionäre verkauft haben.
Associated Press
WASHINGTON -- The government is cracking down on abusive billing practices by hospitals, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said Tuesday.
The new initiative deals with federal "outlier" payments, with which the government reimburses hospitals for expenses above what Medicare pays for certain conditions, such as heart surgeries. Allegations have arisen in recent months that hospitals may have used the payments to overcharge Medicare.
Under the initiative announced Tuesday, hospitals that are receiving large portions of their revenue through "outlier" payments will be more likely to have their charges reviewed and audited.
"We will carefully scrutinize any billing trends or other indications or inappropriate reimbursement," Medicare administrator Tom Scully said. "Any hospital billing very high outlier rates better be absolutely sure that they are right, or they are likely to be very sorry."
Already, the government is investigating Santa Barbara, Calif.-based Tenet Healthcare (THC), the nation's second-largest private hospital chain, because of misgivings about its pricing policies. The company, which saw its "outlier" payments double from $351 million in 2000 to $763 million in 2002, has said it outpaces the national average for "outlier" payments because many of its hospitals have costlier open heart surgery and teaching programs.
The government currently is reviewing "outlier" policy to make overbilling more difficult.
