What Is This Settlement About?

A proposed class action settlement has been reached with Family Medicine Centers (FMC Services) over a July 2022 data security incident that potentially exposed the personal information and protected health information of more than 266,000 adults and children. The lawsuit alleged that FMC failed to adequately protect that information from the cyberattack.

FMC denies any wrongdoing and the court has not decided who is right. Both sides agreed to a $2.15 million settlement fund to avoid the cost and uncertainty of continued litigation. If you were notified that your information may have been involved in the incident, you may be eligible to file a claim for cash benefits and credit monitoring before the August 31, 2026 deadline.

Who Qualifies?

You may qualify if you received notice that your personal information or protected health information may have been involved in the July 2022 Family Medicine Centers (FMC Services) data security incident. The settlement class covers the individuals identified by FMC as potentially affected, reported to be more than 266,000 people, including both adults and children.

The simplest way to check your eligibility is to confirm whether you received a data breach notification letter, or to review the official settlement website at FMCDataSettlement.com.

How Much Can You Get?

Eligible class members can choose between documenting their losses or taking a flat cash payment:

• Documented losses: reimbursement of up to $5,000 for documented out-of-pocket costs fairly traceable to the data breach (for example, bank fees, postage, the cost of credit reports and credit freezes, and losses from actual identity theft or fraud).
• Lost time: compensation for time reasonably spent dealing with the breach, as described in the official notice.
• Credit monitoring: class members may enroll in two years of credit monitoring and identity protection services at no cost.
• Cash payment: a flat alternative cash payment of about $75 with no proof of loss required.

You may choose only one cash path. Because benefits are paid from a $2.15 million settlement fund, payment amounts may be adjusted pro rata depending on the number of valid claims filed.

How to File a Claim

The fastest way to file is online through the official settlement website. You can also request and mail a paper claim form. To file, you will generally need information from your notice (such as a Notice ID or Claim ID, if one was provided) along with any documentation supporting a loss claim.

If you lost or never received your notice — or need a paper claim form — use the contact form on the official settlement website to reach the administrator. Submit your claim at FMCDataSettlement.com before the deadline.

Important Deadline

The deadline to submit a claim is August 31, 2026. The final approval hearing is scheduled for September 15, 2026. Class members who want to be excluded from, or object to, the settlement must do so by the dates listed in the official notice. Check the official settlement website for the current opt-out, objection, and final approval hearing details.

Beware of Scams

Legitimate settlement administrators do not ask you to pay a fee to file a claim or to receive a payment. File only through the official settlement website and never share more information than the claim form requires.
