$3.9M Arcare data breach class action settlement

Arcare has agreed to a $3.9 million class action settlement to resolve claims it failed to prevent a 2022 data breach that compromised sensitive patient information.

The Arcare settlement benefits individuals who received a notice from Arcare informing them their private information may have been compromised in a data breach between Jan. 18 and Feb. 24, 2022.

Plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit resolved by this settlement claimed Arcare failed to prevent a data breach in 2022 due to its inadequate cybersecurity measures. The Arcare data breach reportedly compromised sensitive information, such as Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, financial account information and medical data.

Arcare is a health care provider based in Arkansas.

The provider has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay a $3.9 million class action settlement to resolve the allegations.

Under the terms of the Arcare settlement, class members can receive either a cash payment or a reimbursement for documented losses.

Class members who experienced losses as a result of the data breach can receive up to $5,000 in reimbursement for expenses such as fraudulent charges, identity theft losses, credit monitoring costs and more. These payments are subject to pro rata reductions based on the number of claims filed.

Class members who did not experience losses as a result of the data breach can receive an alternate cash payment of $100. These payments may also be subject to pro rata reductions.

All class members can receive one year of free medical data monitoring through the class action settlement. This service includes one-bureau credit monitoring, medical data monitoring, $1 million in identity theft insurance, real-time alerts and more.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is Dec. 8, 2026.

The final approval hearing for the Arcare data breach settlement is scheduled for Jan. 28, 2027.

To receive class action settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by Jan. 7, 2027.
