A healthcare company is preparing to pay $35,000,000 to settle a class action lawsuit over a cybersecurity incident that allegedly exposed patient information.<\/p>\n

According to the official settlement website<\/a>, Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, also known as Labcorp, has agreed to a proposed settlement tied to the American Medical Collection Agency data breach.<\/p>\n

The settlement covers people whose personal information was transmitted by Labcorp to Retrieval-Masters Creditors Bureau, doing business as American Medical Collection Agency, and was contained in computer systems affected by the incident.<\/p>\n

The breach allegedly affected AMCA\u2019s computer systems between approximately August 1, 2018 and March 30, 2019.<\/p>\n

According to HIPAA Journal, up to 7,700,000 Labcorp patients were potentially impacted<\/a> by the AMCA breach.<\/p>\n

The settlement provides a $35,000,000 fund to pay for out-of-pocket losses, monitoring services, alternative cash payments, notice and administration costs, taxes, service awards, and attorneys\u2019 fees and expenses.<\/p>\n

Class members may submit claims for documented out-of-pocket losses of up to $5,000 per person. They may also claim an alternative cash payment estimated at $50.<\/p>\n

Settlement class members may also elect to receive two years of CyEx Medical Shield Pro medical and healthcare information monitoring services.<\/p>\n

Labcorp denies all claims and denies wrongdoing or liability. The settlement is not an admission that the company violated any laws<\/p>\n
