Anne Arundel Dermatology is a dermatology practice with locations in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Maryland.

According to a class action lawsuit, Anne Arundel Dermatology failed to prevent a 2025 data breach that compromised patient information. Plaintiffs claim that they were put at risk because the company could have prevented the breach through reasonable cybersecurity measures.

Anne Arundel Dermatology has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $2.4 million class action settlement to resolve these allegations.

Under the terms of the Anne Arundel Dermatology class action settlement, class members can receive either a cash payment or an out-of-pocket refund. All members will receive medical data monitoring services.

Class members who experienced documented out-of-pocket losses as a result of the data breach can receive up to $5,000 in reimbursement as part of this class action settlement. These payments cover unreimbursed fraud losses, bank charges, professional fees, credit expenses and more.

Class members who did not experience out-of-pocket losses can receive an alternative pro rata cash payment. These payments are estimated to be around $100, but may be higher or lower depending on the number of claims filed.

All class members are eligible for three years of free medical data monitoring services. These services include real-time credit monitoring, dark web scanning, public record monitoring, medical record monitoring, up to $1 million in identity theft insurance and more.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is June 9, 2026.
