Eargo, Inc. (EAR) Allegedly Failed to Disclose it Improperly Sought Reimbursements from Third-Party Payors

According to the complaint, on August 12, 2021, Eargo revealed that claims submitted to the Company's largest third-party payor, which accounted for 80% of Eargo's accounts receivable, had not been paid since March 1, 2021.
