ReproSource data breach $1.25M class action settlement

ReproSource Fertility Diagnostics agreed to pay $1.25 million to resolve claims it failed to protect patient information from a 2021 ReproSource data breach.

The settlement benefits individuals whose personal information was compromised in the ReproSource data breach in August 2021 and who received a written notice of the breach in October 2021.

According to the class action lawsuit, ReproSource failed to prevent an August 2021 data breach that compromised sensitive patient information such as Social Security numbers and health insurance data. Plaintiffs in the case claim that ReproSource could have prevented the data breach by implementing reasonable cybersecurity measures.

ReproSource Fertility Diagnostics is a laboratory that focuses on reproductive health-related testing.

ReproSource hasn’t admitted wrongdoing but agreed to a $1.25 million settlement to resolve the data breach class action lawsuit.

Under the terms of the settlement, class members can receive up to $3,000 in reimbursement for data breach losses such as unreimbursed fraudulent charges or identity theft damages, credit expenses, credit monitoring, miscellaneous expenses and up to eight hours of lost time at a rate of $20 per hour for time spent addressing breach-related issues. 

Alternatively, class members can receive a flat-rate payment estimated to be $50.

Class members from California who submit a claim may be entitled to an additional $50 payment.

In addition to reimbursement or instead of the flat-rate payment, class members can receive three years of credit monitoring and insurance services. Class members who previously took advantage of credit services offered by ReproSource can receive one additional year of benefits.

All payment amounts may be adjusted up or down depending on the amount of actual claims.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is May 20, 2024.

The final approval hearing for the ReproSource data breach settlement is scheduled for July 17, 2024.

Class members must submit a valid claim form by June 20, 2024, to receive benefits under the ReproSource data breach settlement.
