What Changed Recently?
Compumedics USA, Inc. agreed to settle Hill v. Compumedics USA, Inc., a class action over a cyberattack on its network. The case began in federal court in North Carolina, where the consolidated suits were stayed for mediation; after the parties reached terms, they refiled in Broward County circuit court in June 2026 for settlement. Notices went out by email and postcard, and the settlement website is now taking claims. Compumedics denies all claims, allegations and liability, and the court has not decided who is right.Who Qualifies?
The class covers every living individual residing in the United States whose private information may have been affected by the Compumedics data incident, which ran from about February 15 to March 23, 2025. Compumedics, the U.S. arm of a supplier of sleep-study, neurodiagnostic and blood-flow monitoring technology, holds information about patients of the hospitals and clinics that use its systems. According to the settlement agreement, about 318,000 people’s information was taken, and Compumedics began sending breach notification letters around June 27, 2025.The exposed information may include names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, diagnosis and treatment information, medical record numbers, provider names, treatment dates, health insurance information and sleep study details and results. Excluded are Compumedics’ directors, officers and agents, government entities, the judges and court staff, anyone who opts out, and anyone found criminally responsible for the incident.
How Much Can You Get?
Each class member can claim one of two cash options:- Cash Payment A — up to $2,500 for unreimbursed losses from identity theft or fraud that more likely than not resulted from the breach. Claimants must submit documentation such as receipts, phone records or correspondence; self-prepared statements alone do not qualify.
- Cash Payment B — pro rata cash, an equal share of a $500,000 fund, with no documentation needed. The per-person amount depends on how many valid claims are filed and has not been announced.
Payments are made electronically by the method chosen on the claim form; claimants who do not give complete electronic payment details receive a paper check, which must be cashed within 90 days. Compumedics also pays attorneys’ fees and costs of up to $1.1 million, service awards of up to $2,500 per class representative and administration costs, all separate from the $500,000 fund.
What Proof or Notice ID Is Required?
The online claim form requires the Unique ID and PIN printed on the settlement notice. People who lost or never received a notice must contact the settlement administrator for help, or file a paper claim form by mail. Pro rata cash requires no documents. A documented-loss claim requires records showing the unreimbursed loss. The monitoring activation code is also on the notice.What Is the Deadline?
Claims must be submitted online by 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on January 12, 2027, or mailed with a postmark no later than January 12, 2027. Opt-out requests must be postmarked by January 12, 2027, and objections must be received by the court by that date and mailed to counsel and the administrator with the same postmark deadline.How Do You Take Action?
Claims are filed on the official Compumedics Settlement claim page using the Unique ID and PIN from the notice. A printable claim form is on the website’s Documents page for mailing. The settlement website also has the long-form notice, the settlement agreement and instructions for opting out or objecting.What Happens Next?
Judge N. Hunter Davis will hold the final approval hearing on January 27, 2027, at 9:30 a.m. Eastern time at the Broward County Courthouse in Fort Lauderdale, and will also rule on the fee and service award request. The hearing may be moved or held by video or telephone without further notice.

Questions
Why did a sleep study patient get a Compumedics breach notice?
Compumedics USA supplies sleep-study and neurodiagnostic equipment and software to hospitals and clinics, and it stored information about those providers’ current and former patients. The settlement agreement says the exposed data included names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, diagnosis and treatment information, health insurance information and sleep study details and results. Northern Light Health in Maine is one of the customers named in the agreement.
Can a class member claim both the documented-loss payment and the pro rata cash?
No. Cash Payment A (up to $2,500 in documented losses) and Cash Payment B (pro rata cash) are alternatives. A Cash Payment A claim that lacks adequate documentation and is not fixed is processed as a Cash Payment B claim instead.
Does a class member have to file a claim to get medical data monitoring?
No. Every class member is entitled to one year of CyEx Medical Shield medical data monitoring without filing a claim. The activation code is printed on the settlement notice and can be used only after final approval, so the notice should be kept.
Do attorneys’ fees come out of the $500,000 cash fund?
No. Compumedics pays attorneys’ fees and costs of up to $1.1 million, service awards of up to $2,500 per class representative and the administration costs separately from the $500,000 fund for pro rata cash payments.
