MultiCare Robocall TCPA Class Action Settlement

A class action settlement has been reached with MultiCare Health System to resolve allegations that the company violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by placing prerecorded calls (robocalls) to the cell phones of patients without their consent.

The alleged calls contained messages from an artificial voice that sought information from patients about their visit to the hospital, as well as potential sources of payment.

MultiCare denies the allegations set forth in the TCPA lawsuit and asserts that these phone calls were made with patient consent and were carried out lawfully by a company named Hunter Donaldson.

Under the terms of the settlement, both sides agreed to a compromise to end the lawsuit, and there was no establishment of fault. Both parties entered into the settlement to avoid the time, expense and risk of further litigation.

Who’s Eligible

You are included in the settlement if you:

• Received treatment at a MultiCare facility
• Signed MultiCare’s Financial Agreement and Conditions of Treatment forms
• Received a prerecorded Hunter Donaldson call on your cell phone on or after July 7, 2010.

Potential Award

Up to $2,500.
