Wellstar Health System has agreed to a $4.25 million class action settlement to resolve claims it used tracking technologies on its website that disclosed patient information to third parties, such as Meta and Google.

The Wellstar settlement benefits individuals whose information was disclosed to a third party through tracking technologies on Wellstar’s website and patient portal between Feb. 19, 2020, and July 22, 2026.

Plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit claim Wellstar Health System violated their privacy rights by disclosing their personal information to third parties, such as Meta and Google, through tracking pixels on its website. These technologies allegedly disclosed sensitive information, such as protected health information and personally identifiable information.

Wellstar Health System is a not-for-profit regional healthcare network that delivers integrated primary, specialized and emergency medical services throughout Georgia.

Wellstar has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $4.25 million class action settlement to resolve the allegations.

Under the terms of the Wellstar settlement, class members can receive a proportional share of the net settlement fund. Exact payment amounts will vary depending on the number of claims filed with the settlement.

Residual funds will be donated to the Good Samaritan Health Center of Cobb, subject to court approval.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is Oct. 26, 2026.

The final approval hearing for the Wellstar settlement is scheduled for Dec. 1, 2026.

To receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by Nov. 10, 2026.


Who’s Eligible

The Wellstar class action settlement benefits all persons residing in the United States whose information was disclosed to a third party between Feb. 19, 2020, and July 22, 2026, through tracking technologies on Wellstar’s web properties.
