What Changed Recently?
Notices went out on November 12, 2026, and the claim form opened on the official settlement website. North Memorial Healthcare, which does business as North Memorial Health, a Minnesota hospital and clinic system, agreed to the settlement after a mediation in April 2026.The case began in federal court in Minnesota in February 2023. As part of the settlement, the claims were refiled in Hennepin County District Court as Kaliher v. North Memorial Healthcare so a single court could review the deal. The plaintiffs allege North Memorial used third-party tracking technologies, often called tracking pixels, on its website, and that this violated privacy laws. The settlement release names the Meta Pixel and other tracking, analytics and advertising tools. North Memorial denies any wrongdoing, and the court has not decided who is right.
Who Qualifies?
The settlement class includes all individuals who have or have had a North Memorial MyChart account and logged in at least once from January 1, 2017 through April 22, 2026. North Memorial told the court the class has about 302,814 people.The class excludes the judges presiding over the case and their staff and families, North Memorial’s officers and directors and its affiliated entities, class counsel, and anyone who opts out.
How Much Can You Get?
Class members can claim one or both of two benefits:A one-time $21 cash payment. The settlement has no fixed fund; North Memorial pays $21 for every approved cash claim, and the agreement does not provide for a pro rata reduction. Payments can be received by check, Venmo, PayPal, Zelle or a virtual prepaid card.
Twelve months of CyEx Privacy Shield Pro, a privacy product that includes dark web scanning, compromised password scanning, a VPN, a password manager and access to a fraud resolution agent. It is not credit monitoring. Enrollment instructions go to claimants within 28 days after final approval.
North Memorial pays attorneys’ fees and expenses of up to $975,000, service awards of $5,000 for each of the two class representatives, and administration costs separately, so those amounts do not reduce class members’ benefits. Each class member may file one claim.
What Proof or Notice ID Is Required?
The online claim form requires the Login ID and PIN printed on the notice. Its login page states that a claimant must sign in with those credentials to start a claim, and someone who cannot find them has to request them from the settlement administrator through the official website by giving a full name and mailing address. A printed claim form can be submitted without filing online.Neither benefit requires receipts, records or an explanation. The notice states that a class member does not have to provide any proof to claim one or both benefits.
What Is the Deadline?
Claims must be submitted by February 10, 2027, online or by mail postmarked that day. The settlement documents do not name a time zone. One page on the settlement website lists the deadline as February 10, 2026, which conflicts with the notice, the claim form and the court-ordered schedule; those all say February 10, 2027. Requests to opt out and objections are due January 11, 2027.How Do You Take Action?
Claims are filed on the official North Memorial settlement claim form. The form asks the claimant to log in with the notice’s Login ID and PIN, select the cash payment, the privacy product or both, and choose a payment method.Class members who do nothing receive no benefits and give up the right to sue North Memorial over the claims in the case.
What Happens Next?
Judge Bruce D. Manning will hold the final approval hearing on March 11, 2027 at 9:00 a.m. Central time at the Hennepin County District Court in Minneapolis. Payments and privacy product enrollment depend on final approval and on any appeals being resolved.Sources and Verification

Will the $21 payment be reduced if many people file?

No. The notice describes CyEx Privacy Shield Pro as a set of online privacy tools, including dark web scanning, compromised password scanning, a VPN and a password manager, with access to a fraud resolution agent. Enrollment instructions go to claimants within 28 days after final approval.
Does a class member need to have used MyChart recently?
No. The class includes anyone who has or had a North Memorial MyChart account and logged in at least once between January 1, 2017 and April 22, 2026, even if the account was later closed.
What did the lawsuit claim North Memorial did?
The plaintiffs allege North Memorial used third-party tracking technologies, often called tracking pixels, on its website, and that this disclosed information about visitors in violation of the law. The settlement release names the Meta Pixel and other tracking, analytics and advertising tools. North Memorial denies wrongdoing, and the court has not decided who is right.
