The 2024 incident defines the affected group
Palomar Health Medical Group data-settlement exclusions and objections are due October 7, 2026, while claims remain open October 22. The administrator describes unauthorized access or acquisition of private information between April 23 and May 5, 2024.
The proposed $3.1 million fund is for eligible affected class members, not all current patients or everyone who received healthcare in the region. Start with the actual notice and class definition before choosing a response.
The cash options replace one another
The cash choice is documented qualifying losses up to $5,000 or a payment estimated at $60. The website explicitly says either, so a claimant should not add both amounts. Two years of credit monitoring may also be claimed.
Claims must be submitted online or postmarked October 22. The approval hearing is scheduled November 6. The proposed terms are not evidence of wrongdoing or of checks already sent. A reader considering exclusion or objection should follow those separate October 7 instructions instead of relying on the later benefit cutoff.
