Proof Required?
Cone Health, a North Carolina-based healthcare system, has agreed to a $1.77 million class action settlement over allegations that it used tracking pixels β€” small pieces of code embedded in its MyChart patient portal β€” to collect and share patients' private health information with third parties like Facebook and Google without their consent. Patients who used the MyChart portal to manage their healthcare may have had sensitive data, including appointment details and health conditions, transmitted to outside companies through these hidden trackers. This type of lawsuit has become increasingly common as hospitals and healthcare providers adopted digital tools that inadvertently β€” or knowingly β€” shared patient data with advertising platforms. The lawsuit alleges that Cone Health's use of these pixels violated patient privacy laws, including HIPAA, though Cone Health has not admitted any wrongdoing as part of the settlement. If you were a Cone Health patient who used the MyChart online portal during the relevant time period, you may be eligible to receive a payment from this $1.77 million settlement fund. Read on to find out if you qualify and how to submit your claim.

  • Your personal or health information may have been shared with third-party platforms (such as Meta/Facebook or Google) through tracking pixel technology embedded in the portal

How Much Can You Get?

The total settlement fund is $1.77 million, which will be divided among eligible class members who submit valid claims. The exact amount each person receives will depend on how many people file claims β€” the more claimants, the smaller each individual share. Specific per-person payout amounts have not been publicly confirmed at this time. As with most data privacy settlements of this type, payments are distributed on a pro-rata basis after attorneys' fees, administrative costs, and any service awards to named plaintiffs are deducted from the total fund. Keep an eye on the settlement administrator's website for updates on estimated payment amounts as the claims deadline approaches.
