Labcorp AMCA Data Breach Settlement — $50 or Up to $5,000
If you were a Labcorp patient whose personal or financial information was exposed in the 2019 AMCA data breach, you may be entitled to compensation from a $35 million class action settlement. The breach involved American Medical Collection Agency (AMCA), a billing vendor used by Labcorp, and exposed sensitive data including Social Security numbers, payment information, and medical details for millions of patients.
This settlement offers affected individuals two main options: a straightforward Alternative Cash Payment of approximately $50 with no documentation required, or a reimbursement of up to $5,000 for out-of-pocket losses you can document — such as fraudulent charges, identity theft costs, or time spent dealing with the breach. On top of that, eligible claimants can receive two years of free medical identity monitoring services.
The deadline to file your claim is September 3, 2026, so there's still time to see if you qualify and get what you're owed. Class Action Buddy can walk you through the process step by step.
Who Is Eligible?
You may be eligible to file a claim if you:
- You were a Labcorp patient whose data was handled by AMCA (American Medical Collection Agency) and was exposed in the 2019 data breach
- You received a data breach notification letter from Labcorp or AMCA informing you of the incident
- Your personal information — such as your name, Social Security number, payment card details, or medical information — was compromised in the breach
- You are a U.S. resident who had a Labcorp account or balance sent to AMCA for collection prior to the breach
- You experienced documented financial losses, identity theft, or spent time dealing with the aftermath of the breach (required for the higher up to $5,000 claim tier)
How Much Can You Get?
There are two payout tiers available in this settlement. The first is an Alternative Cash Payment of approximately $50, which requires minimal documentation and is the easier path for most claimants — though the exact amount may vary depending on how many people file claims. The second tier allows you to claim up to $5,000 in reimbursement for actual, documented out-of-pocket losses tied to the breach, such as bank fees, credit monitoring costs, professional fees, or losses from fraudulent activity.
In addition to cash compensation, all eligible claimants can enroll in two years of free medical identity protection services — a benefit worth noting given that medical data was among the information exposed. The total settlement fund is $35 million, so filing sooner rather than later is a good idea. The claim deadline is September 3, 2026.
