IOD/Datavant Pennsylvania Medical Record Fee Settlement

The class generally covers patients, representatives, designees, insurers, attorneys and other people or entities that requested or subpoenaed patient records from a Pennsylvania health-care provider and paid IOD the maximum statutory copying-related fees between July 15, 2005 and September 3, 2012. A covered class member also must have been sent notice.

The definition excludes requests that did not require patient authorization, including the examples listed in the notice, and excludes defendant's counsel, the Court and staff, and Class Counsel.

An approved claimant may receive 35% of the qualifying basic, search, retrieval and per-page copying fees paid to IOD for covered requests. Datavant's records determine the transaction list and calculated benefit shown with the mailed or online Proof of Claim. The notice does not state a per-person maximum or an aggregate fund.

Complete and sign the official Proof of Claim. The online form uses the Class Member ID and displays the medical-record transactions Datavant associates with the claimant. The notice does not say every claimant must upload independent proof beyond the completed form and listed records.

Someone claiming as a patient-requestor beneficiary or successor must make the required certification, and the administrator may request additional information to validate that claim.

Submit online or mail the completed Proof of Claim so it is received by November 30, 2026. The notice expressly says the receipt deadline applies regardless of the envelope's postmark, so mail early enough for delivery.

The Court is scheduled to consider final approval on October 16, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. If approval becomes final, claims will be reviewed and paid after any appeals are resolved. The notice warns that appeals can take more than a year and gives no fixed payment date.

You will receive no settlement payment. Unless you validly opt out, you will remain bound by the Court's orders and release claims against IOD and Datavant that were or could have been raised in the case.

A separate written exclusion request for each person or entity must contain all information required by notice question 12 and be received by the administrator by October 1, 2026. A postmark alone is not enough.

An objection keeps you in the class and asks the Court to reject or change its approval decision. Objections and copies must satisfy notice question 17 and be received by the listed recipients by September 16, 2026.
