How Much Can You Get?
The total settlement fund is $35 million, which will be distributed among eligible class members after attorneys' fees, administrative costs, and any other approved deductions. The exact amount each individual claimant will receive has not been publicly specified and will depend on the total number of valid claims submitted. Typically in data breach settlements, claimants may be able to recover compensation for out-of-pocket losses tied to the breach (such as fraudulent charges or credit monitoring costs), as well as a base payment even without documented losses.

What was the Labcorp AMCA data breach?
The AMCA (American Medical Collection Agency) data breach began in August 2018 and lasted approximately seven months before being discovered. AMCA was a third-party billing and collections company that handled patient accounts for Labcorp and other healthcare companies. During the breach, hackers may have accessed sensitive personal and financial data belonging to millions of patients.
How do I know if I'm included in the Labcorp data breach settlement?
If you were a Labcorp patient whose unpaid balance was referred to AMCA for collections around or after August 2018, your data may have been exposed. The clearest indicator is if you received a written notification from Labcorp or AMCA informing you of the breach. If you're unsure, you can check the official settlement website once it's available, or use Class Action Buddy for guidance.
Do I need proof to file a claim in the Labcorp settlement?
Proof requirements are not yet fully confirmed, but data breach settlements typically require claimants to provide some form of verification — such as a breach notification letter — to establish eligibility. If you're claiming reimbursement for specific out-of-pocket losses, you'll likely need supporting documentation like bank statements or receipts. We recommend saving any relevant paperwork you have.
