Proof Required?
The Makena class action settlement resulted in a $7.5 million fund to compensate people who were affected by claims related to the Makena drug (hydroxyprogesterone caproate). This settlement has already reached its claims deadline, meaning the window to file a new claim has closed. However, if you previously submitted a claim, you may still be waiting to receive your payment. Makena is a prescription medication that was marketed to reduce the risk of preterm birth in pregnant women. The lawsuit raised concerns about the drug's pricing, marketing, or efficacy — issues that affected patients and potentially insurers or other payers who covered the cost of treatment. If you're here to check on the status of a payment you're expecting, you're in the right place. Below you'll find the latest information on who was eligible, estimated payout amounts, and what to expect if you already filed a claim.

Who Is Eligible?

You may be eligible to file a claim if you:

  • Individuals who were prescribed and used Makena (hydroxyprogesterone caproate) during the relevant period covered by the settlement
  • Patients, insurers, or third-party payers who paid out-of-pocket or reimbursed costs for Makena prescriptions
  • Those who filed a valid claim before the official claims deadline (the settlement is now closed to new claims)
  • U.S. residents who met the specific criteria outlined in the settlement agreement — exact dates and purchase windows were defined in the official claim form

How Much Can You Get?

The total settlement fund was set at $7.5 million, to be distributed among all eligible claimants who submitted valid claims before the deadline. Individual payout amounts vary depending on the total number of approved claims filed and each claimant's documented usage or payments related to Makena. Because the claims period is now closed, the settlement administrator is in the process of reviewing submitted claims and calculating final payment amounts. Exact per-person figures are not publicly confirmed at this time, but payments will be drawn proportionally from the $7.5 million fund. If you filed a claim, watch for a check or electronic payment from the settlement administrator.
