SelectQuote (SLQT) Investigation:

The investigation is focused on the propriety of SelectQuote’s disclosures concerning its sales and other business practices, particularly with respect to its Senior business which offers Medicare Advantage (“MA”) plans written by health insurance companies such as Aetna, Anthem, and Humana (“insurers”).

In the past, SelectQuote has claimed “[o]ur agents are trained to offer unbiased advice in order to be more aligned to the specific needs of each customer” and Senior “provides unbiased comparison shopping for Medicare Advantage (‘MA’) and Medicare Supplement (‘MS’) insurance plans[.]”

SelectQuote’s claims came into question on May 1, 2025, when the DOJ filed a complaint alleging that from 2016 through at least 2021 the insurers:

Paid hundreds of millions of dollars to SelectQuote and other brokers in exchange for enrollments into the insurers’ Medicare Advantage plans;Rather than acting as unbiased stewards, SelectQuote and other brokers directed Medicare beneficiaries to the plans offered by insurers that paid brokers the most in kickbacks, regardless of the suitability of the MA plans for the beneficiaries;SelectQuote and other brokers incentivized their employees and agents to sell plans based on the insurers’ kickbacks, set up teams of insurance agents who could sell only those plans, and at times refused to sell MA plans of insurers who did not pay sufficient kickbacks; andSelectQuote and other brokers conspired to discriminate against MA beneficiaries with disabilities.

This news sent SelectQuote shares spiraling 19% lower on May 1, 2025.

“We’re concerned about SelectQuote’s alleged steering practices and the extent to which the practices, if true, may have inflated the company’s financial results,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
