Labcorp $35 Million Data Breach Class Action Settlement
See Details
Proof Required?
Labcorp has agreed to a $35 million class action settlement related to a data breach involving the American Medical Collection Agency (AMCA). AMCA was a third-party billing and collections company that handled sensitive patient information on behalf of Labcorp and other medical providers. Hackers gained unauthorized access to AMCA's systems, potentially exposing personal and financial information belonging to millions of Labcorp patients.
If you were a Labcorp patient whose personal information may have been compromised in the AMCA data breach, you could be entitled to compensation from this settlement. The exposed data potentially included names, addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers, Social Security numbers, payment card information, and medical data — the kind of sensitive information that can cause real harm if it ends up in the wrong hands.
This settlement is designed to compensate people who were affected by the breach and to encourage stronger data security practices going forward. Read on to find out if you qualify, how much you might receive, and how to file a claim.
Who Is Eligible?
You may be eligible to file a claim if you:
- You were a Labcorp patient whose personal or financial information was stored with AMCA at the time of the data breach.
- Your data was potentially exposed during the AMCA security breach, which is believed to have occurred between August 2018 and March 2019.
- You received a notice from Labcorp or AMCA informing you that your information may have been compromised in the breach.
- You are a U.S. resident whose Labcorp billing or collections data was handled by AMCA during the affected period.
- You experienced out-of-pocket losses, spent time dealing with fraud or identity theft issues, or suffered other harm related to the breach.
How Much Can You Get?
The total settlement fund is $35 million, which will be distributed among eligible claimants after legal fees and administrative costs are deducted. The exact amount each person receives will depend on the total number of valid claims filed — the more people who submit claims, the smaller each individual payout may be.
Claimants who can document out-of-pocket expenses related to the breach — such as costs for credit monitoring, identity theft recovery, or fraudulent charges — may be eligible for higher reimbursement amounts. Those without documented losses may still receive a base payment for the inconvenience and risk caused by having their data exposed. Specific payout tiers and maximum amounts per claimant have not been publicly detailed yet, so check back for updates as the settlement process moves forward.
