Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC Announces Investigation of Health Insurance Innovations, Inc.


Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC is conducting an investigation to determine whether Health Insurance Innovations, Inc. ("HIIQ" or the "Company") and certain of its officers and directors made false and misleading statements and/or omissions in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Class action lawsuits have been filed in the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern District of New York, the Southern District of New York and the Middle District of Florida by other law firms on behalf of purchasers of the common stock of Health Insurance Innovations, Inc. (NASDAQ: HIIQ) between March 4, 2016 and September 11, 2017, inclusive (the "Class Period").

The complaint focuses on the alleged misrepresentations and omissions by HIIQ and certain of its officers and directors ("Defendants") concerning the Florida's Office of Insurance Regulators ("OIR") rejection of the Company's application for a third-party insurance administrator's ("TPA") license, and the adverse effect the OIR's denial of the license could have on the Company's business. Plaintiffs allege that Defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that: (1) HIIQ's application for a TPA license in Florida was rejected due to the OIR's discovery of undisclosed legal actions against Company insiders; (2) HIIQ warned the OIR of the anticipated "domino effect" that the rejection was likely to cause, by which the Company would subsequently lose licenses in additional states; and (3) as a result of the foregoing, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading.

On September 11, 2017, a report was published revealing details concerning the deficiencies in the Company's application for a TPA license in Florida, including its refusal and/or failure to provide the OIR with information concerning legal procedings against certain HIIQ insiders and the Company's assertion of the substantial harm a license denial would cause to its business. The report also claimed that HIIQ's potential exposure from multistate investigations into its market conduct (which were disclosed in the Company's SEC (News - Alert) filings) could reach $100 million or more. The price of HIIQ shares fell from $29.90 to $23.35 on September 11.



Cohen Milstein encourages all investors who purchased HIIQ common stock between March 4, 2016 and September 11, 2017, or former employees with information concerning this matter to contact the firm.
