Norton Healthcare Data Breach Settlement – Up to $2,580 for Affected Patients and Employees (File by May 18, 2026)

What happened

Class period: Data breach occurred on or around May 9, 2023; eligible expenses and losses must have occurred between May 9, 2023 and May 18, 2026

On or around May 9, 2023, Norton Healthcare — a name most people associate with keeping things healthy — experienced a data breach that potentially exposed the confidential personal information of its current and former patients and employees.

The Norton Healthcare data incident affected a broad range of individuals, and a class action lawsuit followed alleging negligence, breach of implied contract, unjust enrichment, and invasion of privacy. Norton Healthcare and Norton Hospitals deny any wrongdoing.

Rather than roll the dice at trial, the defendants agreed to an $11 million settlement fund to resolve the claims.

If you received a breach notice letter from Norton Healthcare notifying you that your personal information may have been compromised in the May 2023 data incident, you are included in the settlement class and may be eligible for cash and other benefits.

Extra details

Submitting a claim for out-of-pocket losses or lost time automatically enrolls you in the cash payment as well — you do not need to check a separate box for it.

The medical monitoring benefit through CyEx Medical Shield Pro covers your medical account specifically, not just general credit monitoring — worth claiming even if you had no direct fraud losses from the Norton Healthcare breach.

If you do nothing, you receive no Norton Healthcare settlement benefits and give up your right to sue over this breach. Given that the cash payment and medical monitoring require zero documentation to claim, "doing nothing" is doing yourself a disservice.

Do not contact the Court or the Defendants directly — use the Settlement Administrator for all inquiries.
