Healthcare class action lawsuits hold hospitals, insurance companies, and pharmaceutical manufacturers accountable for data breaches, billing fraud, overpriced drugs, and defective medical devices. Your health information is particularly sensitive, and breaches of this data can expose you to identity theft and insurance fraud.
Major healthcare settlements include Anthem ($115M data breach), Change Healthcare breach settlement (ongoing), and various pharmaceutical pricing cases. If your health records were exposed or you were overcharged for healthcare services, you may have a valid claim.
Healthcare settlement claims may require your insurance member ID, dates of coverage, or confirmation that you received notification of a breach. Many settlements offer credit monitoring and identity theft protection in addition to cash payments.
