AthenaHealth, Inc

Pomerantz Haudek Grossman & Gross LLP has filed a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court, District of Massachusetts, against athenahealth, Inc. ("athenahealth" or the "Company"), (NASDAQ: ATHN) and certain of its top officials. The class action (10-cv-10477) was filed on behalf of purchasers of the securities of the Company between October 29, 2009 and February 25, 2010, both dates inclusive, (the "Class Period"). The Complaint alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.

Athenahealth, Inc. engages in the provision of Internet-based business services for physician practices in the United States.  The company offers a revenue cycle management service that automates and manages billing-related functions for physician practices.  On February 25, 2010, after the market closed, athenahealth announced that its previous financial statements could no longer be relied upon and that it would likely need to restate prior financial statements based on its methodology for calculating implementation revenue, causing the stock to drop almost 13%, falling from a close of $43.52 on February 25, 2010 to a close of $37.96 on February 26, 2010.

 If you are a shareholder who purchased the securities of athenahealth during the Class Period, you have until  May 18, 2010 to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff for the class. Shareholders outside the United States may join the action, regardless of where they live or which exchange was used to purchase the securities.
