Twin Cities Pain Clinic data incident settlement

Twin Cities Pain Clinic has settled a lawsuit over a July 2025 compromise of an employee email account that may have exposed patient information. The class is everyone in the United States whose private information was accessed or acquired in that incident, so if you were notified you may be eligible for a flat payment the notice estimates at about $55 with no documents, or instead up to $450 in ordinary documented losses or up to $4,500 in extraordinary ones, plus two years of credit monitoring. Claims close November 9, 2026, and the court decides whether to approve the settlement on January 20, 2027. Filing on the official settlement site is free, and only the administrator and the court decide who is paid.

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 notice says distributions follow the January 20, 2027 final approval hearing and the resolution of any appeals, so payment is some way off.

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.

In re Twin Cities Pain Clinic Data Breach Litigation · 27-CV-25-16549 · District Court of Hennepin County, Minnesota

The no-documentation option is a flat payment the notice expects to be about $55. In its place a class member may claim up to $450 in documented ordinary losses or up to $4,500 in documented extraordinary losses from identity theft or fraud, for costs between July 9, 2025 and November 9, 2026 and supported by bank statements or receipts. All cash payments together are capped at $385,000, so figures can be cut back. Two years of credit monitoring is also offered. The online form opens only with a LoginID and PIN from the mailed notice.
