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 were a patient at Illinois Bone and Joint Institute whose personal or medical information was exposed in the data breach
- You received a data breach notification letter from Illinois Bone and Joint Institute
- You are a current or former patient who had personal information (such as name, Social Security number, or medical records) stored with the institute
- You are a U.S. resident affected by this specific breach — this settlement is focused on Illinois Bone and Joint Institute patients
How Much Did It Pay?
The $4 million settlement fund offers three different compensation options depending on your circumstances. Most claimants can receive an approximate $50 cash payment without needing to document specific losses — this is the simplest option for most people. If you experienced actual out-of-pocket losses as a result of the breach — such as costs related to identity theft, fraudulent charges, or time spent dealing with the fallout — you may be eligible to claim up to $5,000. You'll need to provide documentation supporting those losses. A third option is two years of medical monitoring services, which may be valuable if you're concerned about how your exposed health information could be misused. The exact amount each claimant receives may vary depending on how many valid claims are filed.How this claim was filed
