People whose personal information may have been exposed in a Laboratory Services Cooperative data incident can now submit claims under a proposed $6.1 million settlement. The case involves current and former patients and employees, including people who received or paid for lab testing ordered through certain Planned Parenthood health centers. LSC denies wrongdoing, and the court has not decided who is right.
Who may qualify
The settlement class generally covers U.S. residents whose personal information was potentially compromised in the incident that LSC learned about around October 27, 2024. The complete notice lists limited exclusions, including the presiding judge and certain LSC-related people and entities.
Eligibility is based on possible compromise of personal information. Anyone uncertain about inclusion should use the official settlement website or contact the administrator instead of relying only on whether an individual notice arrived.
Benefits available
Class members may submit claims for up to $5,000 in unreimbursed out-of-pocket losses reasonably connected to the incident. Examples can include eligible fraud or identity-theft losses, professional fees, credit-related costs, monitoring expenses, postage, copying, mileage and similar costs. Receipts or other records are required; documents created by the claimant alone are not enough by themselves.
The settlement also offers a pro rata cash payment of up to $1,000 and two years of Medical Shield Complete monitoring from CyEx. The monitoring includes medical-information exposure monitoring, at least one-bureau credit monitoring and identity-theft protection.
The cash payment is not guaranteed to equal $1,000. It depends on how much remains after approved expenses, loss claims, monitoring services, other settlement payments, fees and awards, as well as the number of valid claims.
How to file
Claims must be submitted online or postmarked by November 24, 2026. A completed Claim Form is required for benefits. People seeking out-of-pocket-loss reimbursement should include the supporting records described in the notice.
The official site, LSCDataSettlement.com, provides the Claim Form, complete notice and current case information.
Other deadlines
October 26, 2026 is the deadline to mail an objection or exclusion request. Objecting keeps a person in the settlement while asking the court not to approve some or all of it. Excluding yourself gives up settlement benefits but preserves the right to pursue separate claims about the released issues.
The notice contains a case-number inconsistency in its exclusion instructions: the main caption uses 2:25-cv-00685-BJR, while that section prints 2:25-cv-00685-JBR. Anyone opting out should check the official site or ask the administrator how to identify the case correctly.
The final approval hearing is scheduled for January 4, 2027 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time by Zoom. Benefits will not be issued unless the court grants final approval and any appeals are resolved.
