What Is This Settlement About?

A proposed class action settlement has been reached with Lakeview Health Systems over a January 2024 data security incident that potentially exposed the personal information and protected health information of approximately 10,772 people. The lawsuit alleged that Lakeview Health failed to adequately protect that information from the cyberattack.

Lakeview Health denies any wrongdoing and the court has not decided who is right. Both sides agreed to settle 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 24, 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 January 2024 Lakeview Health Systems data security incident. The settlement class covers the roughly 10,772 individuals identified by Lakeview Health as potentially affected.

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 LakeviewHealthSettlement.com.

How Much Can You Get?

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

• Ordinary expenses: reimbursement of up to $2,000 for documented out-of-pocket costs fairly traceable to the data breach (for example, bank fees, postage, or the cost of credit reports and credit freezes).
• Extraordinary losses: reimbursement of up to $5,000 for documented losses from actual identity theft or fraud connected to the breach.
• Lost time: up to 4 hours of time spent dealing with the breach, paid at $20 per hour (up to $80).
• Credit monitoring: class members may also enroll in credit monitoring and medical identity protection services at no cost.

Combined, the documented benefits can total up to $7,080. If you do not want to gather documentation, you can instead elect a flat $50 alternative cash payment with no proof of loss required. You may choose only one cash path. 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 an ordinary or extraordinary 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 LakeviewHealthSettlement.com before the deadline.

Important Deadline

The deadline to submit a claim is August 24, 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 dates.

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.

If you have been affected by other healthcare data incidents, you may also have open claims — see our roundup of active data breach settlements, including the Onsite Mammography data breach settlement.
