Yuma Regional Medical Center data breach settlement reaches $1.98 million: Were you affected? - Claim Depot
Yuma Regional Medical Center, now known as Onvida Health, has agreed to pay $1.99 million to settle a class action lawsuit following a 2022 data breach that exposed sensitive information of 720,000 patients.
The settlement resolves allegations that the medical center failed to adequately protect patient data during a cybersecurity incident in April 2022. The breach compromised personal information including names, Social Security numbers, health insurance details, and medical records.
Class members include all living individuals who received notice of the data breach. They may be eligible to receive reimbursement for documented out-of-pocket losses up to $4,000, a one-time pro rata cash payment, and one year of medical data monitoring.
Claim Options
For reimbursement of documented out-of-pocket losses, claimants must provide third-party documentation such as bank statements or receipts showing expenses related to identity theft or fraud. The pro rata payment requires no documentation, but all class members must submit a claim form.
Credit monitoring is available to all class members without proof requirements. The settlement administrator will distribute payments through Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, or physical check to those who don't select an online payment method.
Important Deadlines
The deadline to opt out or object to the settlement is January 4, 2027. Claims must be filed by February 1, 2027, with the final approval hearing scheduled for March 1, 2027. Payments will be distributed after the court resolves any appeals and grants final approval.
Settlement Details
The $1.99 million settlement fund includes up to $825,000 for attorneys' fees and $30,000 in service awards to class representatives. The remaining funds will be distributed to eligible class members.
To file a claim, class members must submit an online form or a printed PDF form by mail to the settlement administrator. Those needing assistance can request a paper copy by calling 855-591-2021 or emailing [email protected].
