What Is This Settlement About?
Concord Orthopaedics Professional Association, a New Hampshire orthopedic and sports-medicine practice, has agreed to a class action settlement to resolve litigation over a November 2024 data breach. The case is Montambeault, et al. v. Concord Orthopaedics Professional Association, pending in the Superior Court of Hillsborough County, New Hampshire (Northern District).According to the lawsuit, a targeted cyberattack on Concord Orthopaedics' computer systems in November 2024 allowed an unauthorized party to access files that may have contained patients' personal and protected health information. The complaint alleges Concord Orthopaedics failed to adequately protect that information. Concord Orthopaedics denies the allegations and any wrongdoing, and no court has found that the practice did anything wrong. The two sides agreed to settle to avoid the cost and risk of continued litigation.

What Happened?
Concord Orthopaedics experienced a targeted cyberattack on its computer systems in November 2024. A forensic investigation determined that an unauthorized actor accessed files that could have contained personal and protected health information. Concord Orthopaedics later began notifying affected individuals.About 72,815 people were affected. The information involved varied by person and may have included names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver's license or state identification numbers, appointment information, and health insurance information. If you received a notice letter from Concord Orthopaedics about this incident, your information was among the data the practice identified as potentially affected.
Who Qualifies?
The settlement class includes all individuals within the United States who were notified that their personal information may have been accessed in the November 2024 Concord Orthopaedics data security incident. In practical terms, if Concord Orthopaedics mailed or emailed you a breach notice about this incident, you are a class member and may file a claim.You will need the unique ID and PIN printed on your notice to log in to the claim portal, so keep that notice handy. If you believe you were affected but cannot locate your ID or PIN, you can request help through the official settlement website's contact page.
How Much Can You Get?
The settlement offers class members documented-loss reimbursement, a choice of a lost-time payment or a flat cash payment, and one year of medical data monitoring that everyone can claim.Documented loss reimbursement. You can claim up to $3,000 for documented, unreimbursed out-of-pocket losses for fraud and identity theft fairly traceable to the breach, for losses incurred between November 21, 2024 and July 8, 2026. This can include losses such as bank or other fees, professional charges, and the cost of credit monitoring or a credit freeze you purchased. You must provide supporting documents showing the loss and the date it occurred.
Lost time, or a $50 cash payment. You can claim up to four hours of time spent dealing with the breach — such as changing passwords, investigating suspicious activity, or researching the incident — valued at $25 per hour, for a maximum of $100. Instead of the lost-time payment, you can choose a one-time $50 cash payment that requires no proof or explanation. You may select one of these two options, not both.
One year of medical data monitoring. In addition to the cash options, every class member can enroll in one year of CyEx Medical Shield Complete, which includes $1 million in medical identity theft insurance. No documentation is required to select this benefit.
Is Proof Required?
Yes. Filing online requires you to log in to the claim portal using the unique ID and PIN printed on the notice Concord Orthopaedics sent you, so the page is marked proof required. A claimant who never received a notice, or who discarded it, cannot file online without first requesting that information through the official settlement website.Beyond the ID and PIN, the documentation needed depends on which benefit you choose. The $50 cash payment and the year of medical monitoring require no supporting documents. The up to $3,000 documented-loss reimbursement does require documentation — receipts, bank or credit card statements, or similar records showing the loss and that it was tied to the breach.
