Who Qualifies?
The settlement class consists of all individuals residing in the United States who were sent a notice of the ApolloMD data incident indicating that their private information may have been impacted. If you received a mailed or emailed notice with a Class Member ID, you have been identified as a class member and can file a claim.As in most settlements, certain people are excluded, including ApolloMD and its officers and directors, the judges assigned to the case and their immediate families, government entities, and anyone who timely opts out of the settlement.
How Much Can You Get?
Settlement class members choose one of two cash options, and may also claim one year of medical data monitoring on top of the cash option:Cash Payment A — Documented Losses. Reimbursement of up to $5,000 for reasonable documented losses from fraud or identity theft related to the incident. You must provide reasonable third-party documentation — for example, telephone records, correspondence such as emails, and receipts. A personal certification or affidavit alone does not count as documentation, though it may be included to support other documentation.
Cash Payment B — Alternate Cash. An alternate cash payment estimated at $75. No documentation is required. This is the option most class members without out-of-pocket losses will choose. If a claim for Cash Payment A is rejected and not cured, it becomes a claim for Cash Payment B.
Medical Data Monitoring. In addition to either cash option, you may claim one year of CyEx's medical data monitoring, which includes real-time credit-file monitoring with one bureau, dark web scanning, security-freeze and victim assistance, access to fraud-resolution agents, and $1,000,000 in identity theft insurance with no deductible. No documentation is required for this benefit.
All cash payments are subject to a pro-rata (proportional) adjustment based on how many valid claims are filed and how much money remains in the fund after settlement administration costs and court-awarded attorneys' fees are paid. That means the actual $75 figure can be adjusted up or down.
What Proof Do I Need?
For the $75 alternate cash payment and the medical data monitoring, you do not need receipts or documentation of losses. However, filing the claim requires the Class Member ID printed on your mailed or emailed notice to log in to the claim portal. Because filing is gated on that administrator-issued identifier, this settlement is treated as proof-required: a person who never received a notice cannot simply file without it.If you choose Cash Payment A (up to $5,000 for documented losses), you must also submit reasonable third-party documentation of those losses. If you believe you are a class member but cannot locate your Class Member ID, you can request it through the official settlement website rather than filing blind.

Who qualifies for the ApolloMD settlement?
You are a settlement class member if you were sent a notice of the ApolloMD data incident indicating your private information may have been impacted. ApolloMD mailed notices in two waves — the first beginning September 17, 2025, and the second in March 2026. If you received one of those notices with a Class Member ID, you have been identified as a class member.
How much money can I get?
You may choose either Cash Payment A or Cash Payment B, not both. Cash Payment A reimburses up to $5,000 for reasonable documented losses from fraud or identity theft related to the incident, with third-party documentation required. Cash Payment B is an alternate cash payment estimated at $75 with no documentation required. In addition to either cash option, you may also claim one year of CyEx medical data monitoring, which includes $1,000,000 in identity theft insurance. All payments are subject to a pro-rata adjustment based on the number of valid claims and the money left in the fund.

Do I need proof to file a claim?

However, filing requires the Class Member ID from your mailed or emailed notice to log in to the claim portal, so this settlement is treated as proof-required. The up to $5,000 documented-loss option (Cash Payment A) additionally requires reasonable third-party documentation such as receipts, correspondence, or account statements. If you cannot locate your Class Member ID, you can request it through the official settlement website.
