Summit Medical Group data incident settlement
Summit Medical Group, a Tennessee medical group, has settled claims over a targeted cyberattack on its systems in September 2024 that the notice says may have exposed names, contact details, medical records, Social Security numbers and health insurance information. The class is living US residents whose information was potentially involved, including everyone mailed a notice, so patients and staff who got that letter may be eligible. A claim can be up to $2,500 for documented out-of-pocket losses or up to $45 for lost time, with two years of medical identity monitoring offered as well. Claims close November 4, 2026, and filing on the official site is free.

Expected
The notice says payments follow final approval at the November 19, 2026 hearing and the resolution of any 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.

Harris, et al. v. Summit Medical Group, PLLC · 2-119-25 · Circuit Court for Knox County, Tennessee
Two cash options: up to $2,500 for documented out-of-pocket losses dated September 2024 to November 4, 2026, or up to $45 for lost time (three hours at $15 an hour). All class members may also elect two years of CyEx Medical Shield Complete, which the notice says carries $1 million of medical identity theft insurance. The online form asks for the Login ID and PIN from the mailed notice; the administrator re-sends them by email, or a printable form can be mailed. Cash payments shrink proportionally if claims exceed $500,000 in total, so these are estimates.
