Lakeview Health Data Incident Settlement Benefits

Can I choose more than one benefit?

• The regular benefits can be combined: credit monitoring may be claimed along with one or more of the cash options, if the requirements for each are met.
• The $50 alternative payment cannot be combined with credit monitoring or any other cash benefit.

What is the difference between ordinary and extraordinary loss payments?

• Up to $2,000 for ordinary, documented out-of-pocket expenses caused by the incident, such as certain credit-report, credit-monitoring, credit-freeze, ID-replacement, or postage costs.
• Up to $5,000 for losses from identity theft or fraud. You must show the incident probably caused the loss, the loss is not being claimed as an ordinary loss, and you tried to prevent or recover the loss, including through available insurance.
• For either type, the loss must have happened from January 25, 2024 through August 24, 2026, and cannot already have been reimbursed by someone else.

What proof do I need for a cash claim?

• Send proof such as receipts showing how much you spent or lost and why it was connected to the data incident.
• Notes or papers you prepared yourself can help explain other proof, but cannot by themselves support a valid ordinary- or extraordinary-loss claim.
• For lost time, briefly describe the incident-related tasks you did, or provide supporting documentation.
• The $50 alternative payment does not require proof or an explanation.

Can I claim payment for my time?

• You may claim up to four hours at $20 per hour, for a maximum of $80.
• The time must have been spent responding to the data incident. Examples include changing passwords, reviewing suspicious account activity, or researching the incident.
• Briefly describe the time or provide supporting documentation.

How do I submit a claim, and what is the deadline?

• Complete a Claim Form online by August 24, 2026, or download, complete, sign, and mail a paper form.
• A mailed claim, including any required supporting documents, must be postmarked by August 24, 2026.
• The notice says a valid and timely Claim Form is required for any settlement benefit.

When could payments be sent?

• Benefits are not scheduled to be issued yet.
• Payments will be distributed only if the Court grants final approval and after any appeals have been resolved.
• The final approval hearing is set for October 8, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time by Zoom. That hearing date may change.

What happens if I opt out of the settlement?

• Opting out means formally leaving the settlement. You would receive no settlement benefit or payment, but keep any rights you may have to bring your own case about the legal issues involved.
• Your request must include the case name, your contact information, your personal signature, and either the words “Request for Exclusion” or a clear similar statement.
• Send it to the Settlement Administrator. It must be submitted, postmarked, or emailed by July 23, 2026.
• If you stay in the class, you give up the claims described in the Settlement Agreement’s Releases section.

How can I object to the settlement?

• You may object only if you remain in the settlement; a person who opts out cannot object.
• A complete objection must be filed with the Clerk of Court by July 23, 2026. A copy also must be sent to the Settlement Administrator, Class Counsel, and Lakeview Health’s counsel.
• The objection needs your contact information and signature, proof that you are a Class Member, a clear explanation of all reasons for objecting, and the other information listed in the notice. If you want to speak at the hearing, say so in the objection.

What if I do nothing?

• You will not receive a settlement benefit.
• Unless you opted out, you will remain part of the settlement and give up the rights described in the Settlement Agreement’s Releases section.
