Innovative Renal Care data breach settlement

Who may be eligible

If Innovative Renal Care or American Renal Management sent you a notice about the data incident it discovered on or around February 29, 2024, you may be eligible for a payment from a $900,000 settlement fund. The court-authorized notice estimates a pro rata cash payment of about $100 that needs no documentation, and separately allows claims for documented out-of-pocket losses up to $5,000 plus two years of credit monitoring. Claims close December 21, 2026 and the fairness hearing is February 1, 2027. Filing on the official settlement site is free, and the $100 figure is an estimate that shifts with the number of valid claims.

The eligibility period on the official materials is February 21, 2024 – March 1, 2024. The notice states no state limit, so it is usually nationwide. Covered: Innovative Renal Care, American Renal Management.

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

About $100. 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.

The notice estimates the pro rata cash payment at $100 and says it will move up or down with the number of valid claims; no documentation is needed for it. A claimant may also, or instead, claim documented out-of-pocket losses up to $5,000, which does need third-party documentation, and two years of credit monitoring. Payments come out of the fund in a set order — documented losses first, then credit monitoring, then the pro rata cash — so the $100 is an estimate rather than a guarantee.

A $900,000 settlement fund covers every benefit plus the costs of running the settlement. Class counsel will ask the court for fees of up to one third of the fund — $300,000 — plus reasonable litigation expenses, and a $2,500 service award for each of the five representative plaintiffs. Those amounts come off the fund before claims are paid, and the court may award less.

What the deadline is

The claim deadline is December 21, 2026.

The deadline to opt out or object is November 20, 2026.

The court's fairness hearing is set for February 1, 2027; payments do not go out until the settlement is finally approved and any appeals are resolved.

The notice says benefits go out after final approval and after any challenges to it are resolved. The fairness hearing is set for February 1, 2027, and the notice warns that appeals can add time.

What proof is needed

No proof mentioned for the basic option.

The basic claim usually asks for your name, contact details and a statement that you meet the criteria. Optional higher tiers, such as documented losses, can still require records.

Why this case happened

American Renal Management, which does business as Innovative Renal Care, became aware of suspicious activity on its systems on or around February 29, 2024. An investigation found an unauthorized actor had access between February 21 and March 1, 2024. The notice says data belonging to employees, former employees and patients may have been exposed, including names, Social Security numbers, driver's licence or state ID numbers, financial account information, and medical diagnosis, prescription and treatment records. Notices went out from February 14, 2025, several suits were consolidated in federal court in Tennessee, and the company denies all the claims.
