What is the Palomar Health class action settlement about?

The settlement resolves claims tied to unauthorized access to or acquisition of private information in Palomar Health Medical Group computer systems between April 23 and May 5, 2024. The lawsuit alleges that the medical group failed to use reasonable security measures to protect patient information. Palomar Health Medical Group denies the claims, and the Superior Court for the State of California, County of San Diego has not decided which side is right.

How much is the Palomar Health settlement payout?

Eligible class members may request up to $5,000 for documented losses or an alternative cash payment estimated at $60. The settlement also offers two years of credit monitoring. The $60 figure is an estimate, not a guaranteed amount. The administrator can adjust payments based on the number of valid claims, approved settlement costs, and the money available from the $3.1 million settlement fund.

Am I eligible for the Palomar Health data breach settlement?

You may qualify if your private information was accessed, acquired, disclosed, or compromised in the Palomar Health Medical Group data incident that occurred between April 23 and May 5, 2024. The official notice controls the class definition and exclusions. The settlement administrator reviews each submission and makes the final eligibility decision, so receiving a notice does not guarantee claim approval or a payment.

Is the Palomar Health settlement legitimate?

Yes. The Superior Court for the State of California, County of San Diego oversees Castro et al. v. Arch Health Partners Inc. d/b/a Palomar Health Medical Group, case No. 37-2024-00024339-CU-NP-CTL. The court-authorized website is PHMGDataSettlement.com. Filing directly with the administrator is free. Payout is a settlement-discovery app, not a law firm, and does not give legal advice or guarantee eligibility, approval, or payment amounts.

When is the Palomar Health settlement claim deadline?

The claim deadline is October 22, 2026. The administrator must receive an online claim by that date, or a mailed claim form must carry a postmark no later than October 22, 2026. The final approval hearing is scheduled for November 6, 2026. Payments cannot begin until the court approves the settlement, the administrator completes its review, and any appeals are resolved.

Who qualifies for the Palomar Health data breach settlement?

The class covers people whose private information was accessed, acquired, disclosed, or compromised in the Palomar Health Medical Group data incident between April 23 and May 5, 2024. A claim for the estimated $60 alternative payment does not require proof of a financial loss. A request for up to $5,000 in loss reimbursement requires records such as receipts, correspondence, or phone records that support the claimed loss.

How do I file a Palomar Health settlement claim?

Visit PHMGDataSettlement.com and open the official claim form. Enter the requested notice and contact information, then choose documented-loss reimbursement or the estimated alternative cash payment. You can also request two years of credit monitoring. Attach records for any documented losses and submit online or mail the form by October 22, 2026. Filing is free, and you should save the confirmation in case the administrator asks for more information.
