Modernizing Medicine data breach settlement

Modernizing Medicine, which supplies electronic health record software to medical practices, agreed to a $2,999,750 settlement over a July 2025 incident on its servers. The notice says the exposed data may have included names, Social Security numbers, health insurance details and medical records; the class is everyone in the United States who was sent a notice about it, so if you received one you may be eligible. A claim pays either documented losses up to $5,000 with third-party proof or a flat payment estimated at about $75 with no documents, plus two years of medical data monitoring — estimates, not guarantees. Claims close November 2, 2026, and filing on the official site is free.

When the money moves

What the official materials say about the payment schedule for this settlement, and what the administrator has published since. Every figure below is linked to the page it was read from.

Expected

The FAQ says benefits are distributed if the court grants final approval, set for a hearing on November 17, 2026, and after any appeals are resolved. Those dates slip when someone appeals.

Read off the official notice, in its own words. These dates slip — an appeal can move a distribution by a year or more — so treat it as the administrator's plan rather than a schedule.

Cavallaro-Kearins v. Modernizing Medicine, Inc. · 9:25-cv-81443-EA · U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida

Two cash options, pick one. Documented out-of-pocket losses incurred between July 9, 2025 and November 2, 2026 are reimbursed up to $5,000, with third-party documentation rather than self-written notes. The alternative is a flat payment the notice estimates at about $75 and needs no documents. Both figures move with the number of valid claims, so neither is guaranteed. Everyone in the class can also claim two years of CyEx Medical Shield Complete monitoring. The online form needs the LoginID and PIN from the notice; a paper form does not. Filing is free.

Why this case happened

ModMed makes electronic health record software for medical practices. The suit followed a July 2025 incident on its servers that the notice says may have exposed names, addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers, email addresses, Social Security numbers, health insurance details and medical records including diagnosis and treatment information. The company denies wrongdoing and no court decided the claims.
