This is the Alternative Cash Payment available to Settlement Class Members who do not wish to claim Out-of-Pocket Losses. After deducting administrative costs, attorneys’ fees, service awards, taxes, and Out-of-Pocket Loss payments from the $35 million Settlement Fund, the remaining amount is divided equally among all valid Alternative Cash Payment claimants. The $50 figure is an estimate and may increase or decrease depending on how many people file claims.
Plain-language overview
Who may qualify?
Eligibility depends on the dates, products, locations, and other terms listed for this claim. Review any criteria below and the official terms before deciding whether it may apply to you.
- Labcorp provided diagnostic testing services to you or on your behalf.
- Labcorp transmitted your personal information to Retrieval-Masters Creditors Bureau, Inc., d/b/a American Medical Collection Agency (AMCA)
- That information was held in AMCA’s systems during the breach period (roughly August 2018 to March 2019), when hackers accessed data including Social Security numbers, payment information, and medical test/diagnostic codes.
- Many class members received a Settlement Class Notice, but receiving one isn’t required to qualify — you can still be a class member and file a claim without it.
Case overview
What this settlement is about
A cybersecurity incident at American Medical Collection Agency (AMCA), a billing collector once used by Labcorp, may have exposed patient information between August 2018 and March 2019. Data potentially compromised includes names, birthdates, Social Security numbers, addresses, credit card and bank account details, and medical provider information. After six years of litigation, Labcorp has agreed to pay $35,000,000 into a non-refundable Settlement Fund to resolve the claims, though the company denies any wrongdoing. The settlement has received preliminary court approval, but still needs final sign-off at a Fairness Hearing scheduled for August 20, 2026. Eligible Settlement Class Members can choose between two options, but not both: a flat Alternative Cash Payment of $50, which only requires signing the claim form, or reimbursement for Out-of-Pocket Losses up to $5,000, which requires documentation such as receipts, bank statements, or invoices showing the expenses are tied to the AMCA breach. Class members can also enroll in two years of free CyEx Medical Shield Pro medical and healthcare monitoring. To file a claim, you'll need the Notice ID and Confirmation Code included on the Settlement Class Notice sent by mail or email.
