ConnectOnCall's data breach settlement pays up to $75 without documentation — and the monitoring comes on top, not instead. ConnectOnCall is an after-hours answering service used by medical practices, and the lawsuit, In re ConnectOnCall.com Data Breach Litigation, No. 2:24-cv-08790, in the Eastern District of New York, says a threat actor spent almost three months inside the platform in early 2024 and walked away with data including provider-patient communications. The suit doesn't claim anyone's data was actually misused, and the settlement site says so plainly. The class is anyone in the US whose private information may have been impacted, and the fund is $4,950,000. Claimants pick a cash lane — documented losses up to $5,000 for identity theft or falsified tax returns traced to the incident, or up to $75 with no paperwork — and every claimant can also take two years of dark-web and medical identity monitoring with a million dollars of insurance behind it. Claims are due November 2, 2026. Opting out and objecting close earlier, October 19, and the final approval hearing is November 17 in Central Islip.

Who Is Eligible?

You may be eligible to file a claim if you:

  • You are a living individual residing in the United States whose Private Information may have been impacted in the ConnectOnCall Platform incident of February 16 to May 12, 2024
  • The exfiltrated data included provider-patient communications from the after-hours answering service
  • No documentation is needed for the up-to-$75 alternate payment or the monitoring; the administrator answers at (877) 313-8735

How Much Can You Get?

From a $4,950,000 fund: either Cash Payment A — up to $5,000 for actual, documented, unreimbursed losses from identity theft, identity fraud, falsified tax returns, or other misuse attributed to the incident — or Cash Payment B, an alternate payment of up to $75 with no documentation. In addition to either payment, claimants receive two years of one-bureau dark-web and medical data monitoring through CyEx Medical Shield Complete, with $1,000,000 in medical identity theft insurance.

How to File Your Claim

File with the administrator:

  • Pick your cash lane first. Cash Payment B is up to $75 and needs no paperwork at all, reduced proportionally if claims use up the fund. Cash Payment A reimburses documented losses up to $5,000 but needs records, and it is only available on the official settlement site.
  • Class Action Buddy files the no-paperwork claim. The app fills the official form in from your saved profile, you sign it on your phone, and we print it and put it in the mail. You can get the app at classactionbuddy.com/get.
  • Take the monitoring either way. Two years of CyEx dark web and medical identity monitoring comes on top of the cash rather than instead of it, and it is your choice on the same form.
  • Choose how you want paying. PayPal, Venmo or Zelle to an email address or phone number, a digital Mastercard sent by email, or a paper check. Bank transfer is offered only on the settlement site.
  • The Unique ID from your notice is optional. If you never got a notice you can still file — the administrator checks the names on claims against its own list of affected people.
  • There is one thing you swear to. That you contacted a healthcare provider or their office after hours at some point between May 12, 2014 and May 12, 2024. Read it before you sign it.
  • Claims must be postmarked by November 2, 2026. Filing through the app closes on October 26 instead, because we allow seven days for printing and postage so your form lands in time.
  • Opting out or objecting closes earlier — October 19, 2026 — and the final approval hearing is November 17, 2026 in Central Islip, New York.
  • Or file it yourself at the official settlement site, which you will need to do anyway if you are claiming documented losses under Cash Payment A.
