This one is closed, but our 60-second eligibility quiz finds the ones that are still open.
Who Was Eligible?
Who the settlement covered:
- You are a current or former patient of Alabama Ophthalmology Associates whose personal or medical information was exposed in the data breach.
- You received a data breach notification letter from Alabama Ophthalmology Associates informing you that your information may have been affected.
- Your personal information — such as your name, contact details, Social Security number, or medical records — was potentially compromised as part of the breach.
- You reside in the United States and were a patient of Alabama Ophthalmology Associates at or around the time of the breach.
How Much Did It Pay?
The settlement offers three different compensation options depending on your situation. If you experienced documented out-of-pocket losses as a direct result of the data breach — such as fraudulent charges, credit monitoring costs, or time spent dealing with identity theft — you may be eligible to claim up to $5,000 in reimbursement. You will likely need to provide receipts or other documentation to support this type of claim. If you're concerned about the potential long-term impact on your health-related data, you may be able to enroll in two years of medical monitoring services at no cost to you. And if you'd simply prefer a quick and easy option, you can file for an approximate $60 cash payment. Keep in mind that the final cash payout amount may vary depending on how many people file claims against the $850,000 settlement fund.How this claim was filed
