Modernizing Medicine's data breach settlement has a detail buried in the fine print that works in claimants' favor: if your documented-loss claim gets rejected and you don't fix it, it automatically converts to the no-proof $75 payment instead of paying nothing. The case is Cavallaro-Kearins v. Modernizing Medicine, No. 9:25-cv-81443-EA, in the Southern District of Florida, over a July 2025 cyberattack on two servers ModMed used to migrate patient records from retiring EHR systems onto its own platform. The reached data went deep β€” Social Security numbers, diagnosis and treatment information, prescriptions, billing codes. ModMed denies wrongdoing. The class is everyone who got a breach notice. The fund is exactly $2,999,750 β€” a quirky number the aggregators round to "$3 million" β€” and after fees, it pays either documented losses up to $5,000 (third-party records required; your own affidavit doesn't count) or the estimated $75 alternate payment with no paperwork at all. Every claimant can also enroll in two years of CyEx Medical Shield Complete, with a million dollars of no-deductible medical identity theft insurance. Claims are due November 2, 2026. Opting out or objecting closes earlier, October 19, and the final approval hearing is November 17.

Who Is Eligible?

You may be eligible to file a claim if you:

  • You received a notice that your Private Information was compromised in the July 2025 Modernizing Medicine data incident β€” the notice defines the class (mailed starting July 29, 2026)
  • The affected servers were converting patient records from retiring electronic health record platforms; exposed data may include Social Security numbers, prescriptions, diagnoses, and billing codes
  • No documentation is needed for the estimated $75 payment or the medical data monitoring

How Much Can You Get?

From a $2,999,750 fund (fees and administration first): either documented out-of-pocket losses up to $5,000 β€” requiring contemporaneous third-party documentation like receipts or phone records; personal affidavits alone don't qualify β€” or an alternate cash payment estimated at $75 with no proof. Rejected documented claims that aren't cured automatically convert to the alternate payment rather than paying nothing. All claimants can also enroll in two years of CyEx Medical Shield Complete with $1 million in no-deductible medical identity theft insurance.
