ModMed Data Breach Settlement for July 2025 Incident: File by Nov 2

Modernizing Medicine, Inc., known as ModMed, is facing a lawsuit over a data breach affecting its medical software systems. According to the lawsuit, an unauthorized party gained access in July 2025 to two ModMed servers being used to transfer limited data from legacy electronic health record systems into ModMed's current platform. The exposed files may have included full names, addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers, email addresses, Social Security numbers, health insurance details, and medical information.

ModMed denies any wrongdoing, and no court has ruled on the merits of the claims. Rather than continue litigating, both sides agreed to settle.

The settlement has only received preliminary approval so far. A Final Approval Hearing is scheduled for November 17, 2026, where the Court will decide whether to approve it. No payments or monitoring benefits will be distributed until the settlement receives final approval and any appeals are resolved.

Assuming approval, the settlement offers several benefits. All class members qualify for two years of CyEx Medical Shield Complete medical data monitoring, which includes $1 million in medical identity theft insurance with no deductible, single-bureau credit monitoring, dark web scanning, security freeze assistance, and fraud resolution support. Class members can also choose between two cash options: Cash Payment A reimburses documented out-of-pocket losses linked to the breach, such as fraud losses, credit-related fees, ID replacement costs, or postage, up to $5,000; alternatively, Cash Payment B offers a one-time, estimated $75 flat cash payment. Final amounts may be adjusted up or down slightly depending on the total number of claims submitted.

Claimants choosing Cash Payment A need to submit supporting documentation, third-party records created at the time of the loss, like receipts, emails, or phone records. A personal written statement alone won't satisfy this requirement, though it may be submitted as additional context. Cash Payment B and the medical data monitoring benefit require no proof of loss.

To submit a claim online, class members log into the claim website using the LoginID and PIN printed on their mailed notice. The Claim Form requests name and contact details, an email address (required for anyone choosing a cash payment), a preferred electronic payment method, and a signature made under penalty of perjury. The Settlement Administrator may follow up for additional verification.

Anyone unsure whether they're included should check the notice mailed to them. If the LoginID and PIN can't be located, the claim website offers a "Where can I find my login information?" link, or class members can reach out directly to the Settlement Administrator for assistance.
