The compensation covers any losses including fraudulent charges, identity theft expenses, credit monitoring costs and more.
Affected individuals will need to provide receipts, bank statements and police reports to support the claims.
Class members who did not experience documented losses can receive an alternate cash payment of an estimated $75.
This includes one-bureau credit monitoring, dark web scanning, identity theft insurance of $1 million and fraud resolution assistance.
Class members have until March 2 to make a valid claim.
This comes after a well-known one-stop shop insurance company was caught up in legal trouble and forced to pay up at least $46 million to resolve a class action lawsuit.
As part of the settlement, Kaiser Foundation Health Plan has been accused of unlawfully tracking and sharing the data of millions of people.
Class members have alleged that the healthcare provider used tracking and analytical tools on its websites and mobile apps, resulting in the unauthorized sharing of sensitive patient data with third-party technology companies such as Google, Microsoft, and X.
Sensitive data such as identifying information, patient status, medical histories, and communications with healthcare professionals was allegedly shared, according to court documents.
RECOMMENDED STORIES
Plaintiffs, including former and current patients, argued that Kaiser’s actions breached multiple state and federal privacy laws, although the company has denied wrongdoing.
The healthcare giant has agreed to pay $46 million to $47.5 million to resolve the allegations against Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, according to the settlement website.
