Both sides agreed to settle to avoid the cost and uncertainty of continued litigation.

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 enroll in one year of CyEx Medical Shield Total at no cost, which includes $1 million of medical identity theft insurance and monitoring for healthcare insurance ID, Medical Record Number, and Health Savings Account activity.
Combined, the documented losses and lost time can total up to $7,080, and that path also includes the credit monitoring benefit. If you do not want to gather documentation, you can instead elect a flat $50 alternative cash payment with no proof of loss required — but the $50 alternative is taken in place of credit monitoring and the other cash benefits, not in addition to them. 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 (online submissions and mailed claim forms must be postmarked by that date). Class members who want to be excluded from, or object to, the settlement must do so by July 23, 2026. The Court's final approval hearing was scheduled for October 8, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time via Zoom. As of October 20, 2026, the official settlement website had not posted a final approval order or a new hearing date. Settlement payments are distributed only if the Court grants final approval and after any appeals are resolved.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 and the McKenzie Health data breach settlement.
