Wall Street and athenahealth

More than just a Hiccup?

By Staff Reporters

According to TheStreet, health care information company AthenaHealth(ATHN Quote) just announced what seemed like a minor account hiccup.

Last night however, another accounting hiccup for AthenaHealth surfaced, and the health care information company announced that it will be postponing its fourth-quarter earnings.

Assessment

Investors now fear that the seemingly isolated accounting events, one right on top of the other, could snowball.

According to one physician-investor,“this looks less like a hiccup, and more like a spasm of the diaphragm, which is innervated by the phrenic nerve.”
