NextGen Healthcare Data Breach Settlement — $19.375 Million Fund
NextGen Healthcare has agreed to pay $19.375 million to settle a class action lawsuit stemming from a 2023 data breach that exposed sensitive patient information. Affected individuals can file a claim for reimbursement of out-of-pocket losses and additional compensation by March 30, 2026.
What Happened in the NextGen Healthcare Breach?
In early 2023, cybercriminals gained unauthorized access to NextGen Healthcare’s systems, compromising personal and health information of approximately 1 million patients. Data exposed included names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and home addresses — the kind of information that can enable identity theft and fraud.
Who Qualifies to File a Claim?
You may be eligible if you received a notice from NextGen Healthcare informing you that your personal information was compromised in the 2023 data breach. Claimants can seek reimbursement for documented out-of-pocket expenses, as well as a flat-rate payment for time spent dealing with the breach.
How Much Compensation Is Available?
The $19.375 million fund covers: up to $5,000 for documented identity theft losses, up to $250 for ordinary out-of-pocket expenses (like credit monitoring), and a cash payment for attested time spent (up to 4 hours at $25/hour). A pro-rata base payment will also be available to all eligible claimants.
How to File Your Claim
Submit your claim at the official settlement website: nghdatabreachlitigation.com. The filing deadline is March 30, 2026. Have your notice letter or Claim ID number ready when filing.
