Proof Required?
Labcorp has agreed to a $35 million class action settlement to resolve a lawsuit stemming from a major data breach at American Medical Collection Agency (AMCA), a third-party billing and collections company used by Labcorp. The breach began in August 2018 and went undetected for approximately seven months, potentially exposing the sensitive personal and financial information of millions of Labcorp patients. The exposed data may have included names, addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers, payment card information, and other personal details that patients provided in connection with their Labcorp accounts and medical bills. Because AMCA handled billing on behalf of Labcorp, patients who had outstanding balances sent to collections during that period could have had their data compromised without ever knowing. If you were a Labcorp patient whose information was handled by AMCA and you received a data breach notification — or believe your data was exposed — you may be entitled to a share of this settlement. Read on to learn who qualifies and how to file your claim.

  • Your personal or financial data may have been exposed during the AMCA data breach, which began in approximately August 2018 and lasted for roughly seven months
  • You received a data breach notification letter from Labcorp or AMCA informing you that your information may have been compromised

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.
