Online health information company HealthTap Inc. has reached a class action lawsuit settlement over claims it violated federal law by sending unsolicited fax advertisements to doctors, health clinics, and other persons and entities. If you received a fax promoting HealthTap services between 2011 and 2012, you may be eligible to claim a cash payment of up to $75 or up to $495 in free services.
HealthTap Inc. is an interactive health company that allows patients to ask medical questions of its panel of doctors through the HealthTap app or online at www.HealthTap.com. The HealthTap class action lawsuit accuses the company of violating the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by faxing advertisements to persons and businesses without prior express consent.
Defendants deny any wrongdoing but have agreed to a class action settlement to resolve the litigation and the expense of going to trial. A Florida federal judge granted preliminary approval to the HealthTap class action settlement on June 12, 2014. A Final Fairness Hearing is scheduled for Nov. 20, 2014.
Who’s Eligible
You are included in the HealthTap class action settlement if you or your business were sent a fax between Jan. 1, 2011 and Dec. 31. 2012, on behalf of HealthTap Inc. that described services offered by HealthTap.
Potential Award
Up to $75 cash or $495 in FREE services. Class Members who submit a valid claim will have their choice of one of two benefits under the HealthTap class action settlement:
- Cash payment of up to $75. This amount may be reduced pro rata if the number of claims exceeds the $500,000 class action settlement fund for cash payments.
- Five (5) free months of special Premium Service for doctors, valued at $495. Class Members who elect to receive this Premium Service may cancel at any time without being charged fees. The Premium Service will consist of a cloud-based (SaaS) Patient Relationship Management system and a Curbside Consult peer consultation system with: (a) a web-based platform for creating automatic multi-media newsletters (that doctors can send to patients under their individual or practice names) populated with content created by the sending doctor or from HealthTap’s repository of doctor-created answers, tips, and medical information; (b) a secure platform for doctors to create, send, and collect survey responses and feedback to and from patients; and (c) access to ask unlimited “curbside consults” (doctor-to-doctor questions, second opinions, and peer advice) to tens of thousands of U.S. Licensed doctors via HealthTap.
