A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit alleging St. Joseph Health System failed to protect the confidential information of nearly 32,000 patients whose information was reportedly publicly accessible on the internet between February 2011 and February 2012.
If your confidential medical information was publicly accessible on the internet by St. Joseph from Feb. 1, 2011 through Feb. 28, 2012, you may be entitled to a cash payment from this data breach class action settlement.
The medical records that were available online reportedly included lists of patients’ names, dates of birth, height, weight, diagnoses, active medications, lab results, body mass index, blood pressure, medication allegories, and other confidential information. Financial information such as Social Security numbers were not included in the publicly accessible data.
An investigation determined that the data exposure was not due to a criminal act, but was the result of misconfigured security settings.
St. Joseph Health System denies the allegations but has agreed to settle the class action lawsuit to avoid the risk and expense of trial and possible appeals.
Once final, the St. Joseph data breach settlement will provide cash payments to all eligible Class Members and offer reimbursement for identity theft losses and out-of-pocket expenses related to the medical data breach. St. Joseph previously offered all of the affected patients one year of identity theft protection.
The data breach settlement will cost St. Joseph up to $28 million.
Who’s Eligible
Class Members of the data breach settlement include all patients of St. Joseph Health System whose confidential medical information was made publicly accessible on the internet by St. Joseph at any time between Feb. 1, 2011 and Feb. 28, 2012.
Potential Award
A cash payment of at least $241.35.
Class Members may also file a claim to seek reimbursement of certain identity theft losses and out-of-pocket expenses related to the data breach.
Proof of Purchase
No proof is required to receive a cash payment of at least $241.35. Class Members will automatically receive this payment if the data breach settlement becomes final.
Class Members who file a claim for reimbursement of identity theft losses and out-of-pocket expenses must provide documentation of their expenses.
Claim Form
Claim Form Deadline
Out-of-Pocket Expenses Claim Filing Deadline: 90 days after the Effective Date of the class action settlement (TBD)

The date of the final hearing was in 2016 and you had 90 days after that date to submit a valid claim.
Who should I speak with about my belief of Apple’s iphone being illegal along with apple not honoring their own service agreement involving the phones they produce.
Link is still broken!!! How many I.T. geniuses does it really take to fix a broken link? This could be considered as false advertising if people aren’t able to file a claim as stated?
