AMCA Sonic Healthcare Data Breach Settlement
Eligible notice recipients in the AMCA Sonic and Other Labs settlement may request an alternative cash payment estimated at $50, subject to adjustment. Claims are due January 4, 2027. Payment depends on final approval and the settlement terms.
Key facts
The case concerns claims arising from the AMCA data incident against Sonic Healthcare USA and the other laboratory defendants. They deny the claims and liability. Settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing.
Who may qualify?
People sent a notice by Clinical Pathology Laboratories or Austin Pathology Associates, or by AMCA on their behalf, that their information was or may have been involved in AMCA’s security incident may qualify. This is the Sonic and Other Labs track, not the separate Labcorp settlement.
How much could an individual receive?
The ordinary alternative cash benefit is estimated at $50 per approved claimant and can increase or decrease proportionally. Instead, class members may claim documented eligible losses up to $5,000. Two years of medical and healthcare information monitoring may also be requested. The $6,438,578.20 fund pays benefits and approved costs.
What proof is needed?
The estimated $50 alternative cash option does not require documentation of losses. The alternative loss claim requires supporting records and an attestation connecting unreimbursed losses to the incident. Online filing uses a class member ID. Monitoring is a separate selection.
What dates and payment conditions matter?
Claims are due January 4, 2027. A final approval hearing is scheduled for January 7, 2027. A scheduled hearing does not mean the settlement has final approval. Payment depends on approval, the settlement becoming effective and any appeals being resolved. No payment date is promised.

What proof do you need?
Do you need proof of purchase?
For this settlement, you’ll need proof for some claims but not others. The estimated $50 alternative cash option does not require documentation of losses. The alternative loss claim requires supporting records and an attestation connecting unreimbursed losses to the incident. Online filing uses a class member ID. Monitoring is a separate selection.
Where do these requirements come from?
From the official settlement notice - the document that sets out who qualifies and what they have to provide. Claim summarizes it; Claim does not set it. Where the notice and this page disagree, the notice is the one that counts.
How can I check a settlement email or text?
Who is the administrator?
Kroll Settlement Administration LLC is the settlement administrator: the company a court appoints to run the claims process, send notices and make payments. It is not the company being sued, and it is not Claim.
Is the sender's name enough to trust the message?
No. A sender name, a display name, a reply-to address and even a case number can all be copied. Check the case name and number in the message against the ones on this page, and reach the court-authorized settlement website yourself rather than through a link or button in the message.
What warning signs should I look for?
Any request for a fee, a payment or a wire to release settlement money. Any request for full banking login details. Pressure to act straight away. A web address that does not match the one in the official notice. Genuine notices identify the case by name and number and explain how payment is made.
Claim helps you check whether you may qualify, understand the official requirements, and keep track of settlement deadlines.
