Settlement Overview
In a significant development for individuals whose personal information may have been compromised, a proposed settlement has emerged in the class action lawsuit against Veradigm, Inc. The case, known as
Goodrum, et al. v. Veradigm, Inc., concerns a data breach that occurred in December 2024, affecting the private information of numerous patients linked to Veradigm's clients. Although Veradigm denies any wrongdoing, this settlement provides an avenue for those impacted to claim compensation.
Who is Eligible?
You qualify as a Settlement Class Member if:

Settlement Benefits
Eligible individuals can receive financial compensation based on the following options:
- - Cash Payment A: Up to $5,000 in documented losses for those who provide sufficient evidence of damages.
- - Cash Payment B: An estimated cash payment of around $50 to those who do not present documented losses.
- - In addition to cash payments, class members will also receive two years of medical data monitoring through CyEx's Medical Shield service, which includes one credit bureau report.
It's important to note that these cash payments may vary depending on the total number of valid claims submitted and the overall net settlement fund available.
