Labcorp $35M AMCA Data Breach Class Action Settlement

People whose personal information Labcorp transmitted to American Medical Collection Agency (AMCA) and that was in the AMCA systems affected by the breach (roughly August 2018–March 2019). Most class members got a notice with a Class Member ID.

• Labcorp transmitted your personal information to AMCA and it was in the systems hit by the 2018–2019 breach
• Have the Class Member ID from your emailed or mailed notice
• Documentation required only for the up-to-$5,000 out-of-pocket option

A $35 million settlement resolves In re: American Medical Collection Agency Customer Data Security Breach Litigation, pending in the District of New Jersey. It concerns a cybersecurity incident at AMCA — a third-party billing and collections vendor — that affected AMCA's systems between roughly August 1, 2018 and March 30, 2019. During that window an unauthorized party had access to AMCA systems containing personal information (potentially including protected health information) that Labcorp had transmitted to AMCA. Labcorp denies all claims and any wrongdoing. The settlement is not an admission of liability but a resolution that lets affected people receive benefits without the cost and risk of trial.

Who's excluded: Excluded are Labcorp and its officers and directors; the judge and magistrate evaluating the settlement; and anyone found criminally responsible for the security incident.
