Modernizing Medicine Data Breach Settlement
People who were sent a notice about the July 2025 Modernizing Medicine data incident could request an estimated $75 alternate cash payment or up to $5,000 for qualifying documented losses, plus two years of medical data monitoring. The claim deadline passed on November 2, 2026. Benefits for timely valid claims depend on final approval.
Key facts
People who were sent a notice about the Modernizing Medicine data incident could claim a cash payment and monitoring benefits until November 2, 2026, when the claim deadline passed. The proposed $2,999,750 settlement resolves claims about a July 2025 incident involving servers used for retired electronic health record systems. Modernizing Medicine denies wrongdoing, and the court has not decided who is right.
Who may qualify?
The class covers living U.S. residents who were sent a notice that their private information was affected. It does not automatically include everyone whose healthcare provider uses Modernizing Medicine software. Certain company-related people, government entities, judicial personnel and valid opt-outs are excluded.
What could timely claimants receive?
Timely valid claimants could choose an estimated $75 alternate cash payment or seek up to $5,000 for qualifying, documented and unreimbursed losses. These are alternatives, not two cash payments to add together. The $75 estimate can change with the number of valid claims. Two years of medical data monitoring were also offered; associated insurance coverage is not a cash award.
What dates matter?
The claim deadline passed on November 2, 2026. The agreement set the online cutoff at 11.59 p.m. Eastern Time, and mailed claims had to be postmarked by that date. The exclusion deadline was October 19. A final approval hearing is scheduled for November 17, 2026. Payments to timely valid claimants depend on final approval and any appeals, so no payment date is established.
Who may qualify
Living U.S. residents who were sent a notice that their private information was affected by the July 2025 Modernizing Medicine data incident were eligible to claim. Being a patient of a practice using its software was not enough by itself. The notice lists exclusions for specified company-related persons, government entities, judicial personnel and valid opt-outs. The claim deadline passed on November 2, 2026.
What proof do you need?
Did this settlement need proof of purchase?
For this settlement, you needed proof for some claims but not others. The alternate cash option did not require expense receipts. The documented-loss option required supporting records of unreimbursed losses tied to the incident, incurred from July 9, 2025 through November 2, 2026. Claims required a signed certification, and the online form requested the notice ID and PIN. The claim deadline has passed. The claim window for this settlement has closed.
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?
Simpluris, Inc. 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.
