$3.85M Cardiovascular Consultants data breach class action settlement

Cardiovascular Consultants Ltd. (CVC) agreed to pay a $3.85 million class action settlement to resolve claims it failed to protect consumers from a 2023 data breach.

The Cardiovascular Consultants settlement benefits individuals whose personal information was potentially compromised in the Cardiovascular Consultants data breach in September 2023.

On Sept. 29, 2023, Cardiovascular Consultants experienced a data breach that compromised sensitive personal and health information, including names, Social Security numbers, addresses, dates of birth, contact information, driver’s license numbers, health insurance information and medical information.

The plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit claim CVC failed to protect their information from the data breach and could have prevented the incident through reasonable cybersecurity measures.

Cardiovascular Consultants is a medical practice that provides cardiovascular care to patients in Arizona.

CVC has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $3.85 million class action settlement to resolve the allegations.

Under the terms of the Cardiovascular Consultants settlement, class members can receive both cash payments and medical monitoring benefits.

Class members can receive a pro rata share of the net settlement fund. Based on the number of claims filed, each class member is estimated to receive $75. However, this amount may be higher or lower depending on the number of claims filed.

Class members can also receive up to $5,000 in reimbursement for documented out-of-pocket losses fairly traceable to the data breach. This includes reimbursement for identity theft, fraud, credit monitoring, credit report expenses and other losses.

All class members, regardless of whether they experienced out-of-pocket losses, can receive two years of medical monitoring benefits.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is June 1, 2026.

The final approval hearing for the Cardiovascular Consultants data breach class action settlement is scheduled for Aug. 18, 2026.

To receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by July 1, 2026.
