A $195,000 Quest class action settlement will resolve claims that a 2016 data breach compromised the information of thousands of patients.
The settlement benefits individuals whose information was obtained by an unauthorized third party in the 2016 Quest data breach.
The Quest data breach reportedly took place in November 2016 when unauthorized users gained access to Quest Diagnostics’ MyQuest application.
As a result of the data breach, the information of around 34,000 patients was allegedly compromised. Exposed data reportedly included names, dates of birth, telephone numbers, and even lab results including HIV results.
Plaintiffs in the Quest data breach class action claimed that the company failed to protect consumer information from being compromised. Additionally, the patients claimed that Quest did not provide “timely, accurate and adequate notice” of the data breach.
“Despite the fact that it was storing sensitive Private Information that it knew or should have known was valuable to and vulnerable to cyber attackers, Quest and its fellow Defendants failed to take adequate measures that could have protected user’s information,” the Quest class action lawsuit alleged.
Quest Diagnostics has not admitted any wrongdoing but has agreed to fund $195,000 in settlement payments to affected consumers.
The settlement provides up to $325 in compensation for individuals affected by the Quest data breach. Up to $250 can be collected per patient in compensation for actual monetary losses that resulted from the breach. An additional payment of $75 can be collected by patients who had their HIV test results compromised, regardless if actual monetary losses occurred.
In order to benefit from the settlement, Class Members must file a valid claim form by May 22, 2020. The deadline for exclusion and objection was Jan. 8, 2020. Final approval was granted to the settlement at the fairness hearing on Feb. 25, 2020.

I do not recall receiving a notice but, I have have been with Quest Diagnostic for years. Please investigate this on my behalf.
Thank you.
Everything i see “add me” I literally add an accent reading thats completely dumbed down. ?
every time*****
Add Me
Today is 4/4/2020,
I have a certain condition that required a blood work every three months. I believe is called a standing order. This I’ve had done in the passed 10 to 12 years. I have what they call , Giant Cell Artiritis.
So please add me to the list. T hank you.
Can anyone answer my question seriously please. Why do people always ask to be added and comments? Because and this particular settlement if people were to read they could see and it says you had to have been sent something in the mail with a claim number and order to file.. if you wonder if you are a part of the settlement then you should contact the settlement administrator because yes it is possible that maybe some people did not receive they are now showing their claim ID number. The possibility is very minimal but it’s out there. But I’m all seriousness can somebody please answer the question as to why people keep asking to be added? People do that normally anyway which as always dumbfounded me. But in this particular instance why are they doing that knowing that they cannot just be added unless they have a claim number that was sent to them. If a person can type then surely they can read. But if they cannot read then surely somebody can read it to them. And if they cannot read then surely there has to be some kind of app that they already have which can read it to them. I’m not trying to be cruel but seriously I’m asking for somebody to please answer this question for me
Please add me. I did not receive notice that I can find. This is the only lab that does my labs regularly for ongoing issues. Why wasn’t I notified?
