Coast Dental appointment text message settlement

Who may be eligible

Coast Dental Services has agreed to make up to $3,840,664 available to people anywhere in the United States who kept getting appointment reminders after asking it to stop. The court-approved notice defines the class as anyone who, in the four years before the case was filed, got more than one text message or phone call in any 12-month period encouraging them to book an appointment, on a cell phone, after replying STOP or similar to one of those texts. A valid claim pays a pro rata share of the fund, which a class member can take as cash capped at $59.00 or as a $99.00 voucher toward an electric toothbrush Coast Dental sells; the final figure depends on how many people claim, so treat those as ceilings. Claim forms are due by December 24, 2026, the online portal asks for the Claim Number and PIN from the notice, and filing on the official site is free.

The notice states no state limit, so it is usually nationwide. Covered: Coast Dental.

Only the official administrator or agency decides who is eligible. Read the official notice before filing, and file only if you believe you meet its criteria.

How much it may pay

Up to about $59. Every figure here is an estimate from public materials, not a guarantee: many settlements pay pro rata or only after a claims review, so final amounts commonly land well below the advertised maximum.

A valid claim gets a pro rata share of what is left of the $3,840,664 fund after fees, costs, notice and administration and any service award. A class member chooses cash, capped at $59.00, or a $99.00 voucher toward an electric toothbrush Coast Dental sells. The share depends on how many people claim, so $59 is a ceiling rather than an expected amount. One claim per class member. The online portal opens only with the Claim Number and PIN from the notice, but the claim form can also be downloaded from the settlement website or requested on 866-969-1557 and mailed.

The administrator pays approved claims by Check, Voucher.
