Proof Required?
South Texas Oncology and Hematology is paying $1.075 million to settle a class action lawsuit stemming from a data breach that exposed patients' personal and medical information. If you were a patient of South Texas Oncology and Hematology and received a notice that your data may have been compromised, you could be entitled to compensation — even if you didn't suffer any direct financial harm. Data breaches at medical providers are especially serious because they can expose highly sensitive information, including health records, diagnoses, insurance details, and Social Security numbers. This settlement provides affected patients with multiple options for compensation, including reimbursement for out-of-pocket losses, a cash payment, and access to medical data monitoring services to help protect your information going forward. The deadline to file a claim is July 6, 2026, so don't wait too long. Class Action Buddy can help you submit your claim quickly and easily — no legal experience required.

Who Is Eligible?

You may be eligible to file a claim if you:

  • You were a patient of South Texas Oncology and Hematology whose personal or medical information was affected by the data breach
  • You received a data breach notification letter from South Texas Oncology and Hematology informing you that your information may have been exposed
  • Your personal information — such as your name, Social Security number, health records, or insurance details — was stored in the affected systems
  • You must submit your claim by the deadline of July 6, 2026

How Much Can You Get?

The settlement offers two main compensation options depending on your situation. If you experienced documented out-of-pocket losses as a result of the data breach — such as fraudulent charges, credit monitoring costs, or time spent dealing with identity theft — you may be able to claim up to $5,000 in reimbursement. You'll need to provide documentation to support these losses. If you didn't suffer direct financial harm but were still affected by the breach, you can claim an approximate cash payment of around $100. All class members may also be eligible for medical data monitoring services to help keep an eye on how your information is being used. The exact payout amounts may vary depending on how many people file valid claims.
