If you accessed the Memorial Health Services MyChart patient portal between March and July 2022, you may be able to claim a pro rata cash payment from a class action settlement over alleged Meta Pixel tracking.
What Is the Memorial Health MyChart Pixel Settlement About?
Memorial Health Services has agreed to a class action settlement to resolve claims that it disclosed its patients' personally identifiable information (PII) to third parties through the Meta Pixel and other tracking, analytics, and advertising technologies without consent. The case is captioned Valladolid v. Memorial Health Services, Case No. 23STCV05059, in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles.The lawsuit alleges that this disclosure violated the California Invasion of Privacy Act, Cal. Pen. Code § 631(a). The named plaintiff alleges that when patients used the Memorial Health Services MyChart patient portal, tracking technologies caused certain personal information to be transmitted to third parties without patient consent. Memorial Health Services denies all of the plaintiff's claims and maintains that it did nothing wrong.
Memorial agreed to the settlement to avoid the expense, burden, and uncertainty of continued litigation. The settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing, and the Court has not determined that Memorial did anything wrong. People included in the settlement can submit a Claim Form to receive a cash payment.

Who Is Memorial Health Services?
Memorial Health Services (MHS) is a not-for-profit health care system based in Southern California. Patients interact with the system online through the Memorial Health Services MyChart patient portal — the web-based portal built on Epic's MyChart platform — which patients use to schedule appointments, view test results, message providers, request prescription refills, and access medical records. The MyChart portal is at the center of this lawsuit because it is where patients allegedly accessed personal information that the suit alleges was transmitted to third parties via tracking technologies.Free settlement alerts

Who Qualifies for the Memorial Health Settlement?
The Settlement Class is defined as all persons who, between March 7, 2022 and July 8, 2022, accessed the Memorial Health Services patient portal.Excluded from the class are Memorial and its affiliates, parents, subsidiaries, officers, and directors, as well as the judges presiding over the matter and the clerks of those judges.

How Much Can You Get From the Memorial Health Settlement?
Each Settlement Class Member who files a valid Claim Form will receive a cash payment — a pro rata share of the net settlement fund.

The settlement administrator will calculate each approved payment after the claim period closes and the settlement becomes final.In addition to the class payments, Memorial has agreed to pay the costs of notice and administration, court-approved attorneys' fees and costs to Class Counsel (Class Counsel may seek no more than $250,000), and an incentive award to the class representative (up to $2,500, subject to court approval). Any funds not distributed to class members will be paid to the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles. Payments are made by check unless you elect to receive payment by PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle; checks expire and become void 180 days after they are issued.

Watch Out for Settlement Scams
Because this class is made up of patients, take a few common-sense precautions when filing:• Use the official settlement website only: MHSpixelsettlement.com. Be cautious of any email or text linking to a "Memorial Health Settlement" page from a different domain.
• Never pay a fee to receive your payment. Legitimate class action settlements never require a fee to release benefits.
• Never share your MyChart login or medical records. The settlement administrator does not need your MyChart username, password, or any medical records — only the Login ID and PIN from your settlement notice.
