DotHouse Health Data Breach Class Action Settlement: Up to $2,000

A proposed class action claims an unauthorized third party accessed certain DotHouse Health systems during a November 2022 cyberattack, potentially exposing patients' names, addresses, dates of birth, medical record numbers, Social Security numbers, treatment details, and health insurance information. DotHouse Health has not admitted wrongdoing, and the Court has not ruled on the claims, both sides agreed to settle rather than face the cost and uncertainty of a trial.

The Court granted preliminary approval on September 18, 2026, and a Final Approval Hearing is set for January 19, 2027. Payments will only go out if the settlement receives final approval and any appeals are resolved.

You may be eligible if DotHouse Health sent you a notice about this data incident around July 2025 and that notice wasn't returned as undeliverable. Roughly 145,000 people fall into this group. Excluded are DotHouse Health's directors and officers, the presiding judges, their immediate families, and court personnel.

A $725,000 fund will cover the settlement. After attorneys' fees, costs, service awards, and administrative expenses are deducted, the remainder funds the benefits. Every eligible class member can claim two years of CyEx Medical Shield Complete, which includes medical identity theft monitoring, single-bureau credit monitoring, $1 million in fraud insurance, and access to a fraud resolution specialist. On top of that, you can choose one cash benefit: reimbursement of up to $2,000 for documented out-of-pocket losses tied to the breach, or a one-time pro rata payment currently estimated at $40.

Documentation is only required for the reimbursement option, you'll need to submit proof such as receipts or bank statements showing both the loss and its connection to the data incident; personal statements can support but not replace that proof. The pro rata cash payment requires no documentation or explanation.

To file a claim, log in using the LoginID and PIN printed on the notice you received. If you've lost that information, email the settlement administrator with your full name and mailing address.
