Concord Orthopaedics Data Breach Settlement: Claim $50

If you received a notice that your private information was accessed during the November 2024 Concord Orthopaedics data breach, you may be eligible to claim up to $3,000 from a class action settlement.

Concord Orthopaedics Professional Association has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit that arose after a targeted cyberattack in November 2024 that affected 72,815 people.

The lawsuit alleges that Concord Orthopaedics failed to adequately protect sensitive personal information, including names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, appointment details, health insurance information and driver’s license or state identification numbers.

While Concord Orthopaedics denies any wrongdoing, the settlement allows affected individuals to receive compensation and identity protection services without the uncertainty and expense of ongoing litigation.

How much are the data breach settlement payouts?

Class members can claim several types of benefits and/or payouts depending on their circumstances and the documentation they provide.

• Documented Losses: Up to $3,000 for actual, documented out-of-pocket losses related to identity theft or fraud resulting from the data breach. Eligible expenses include:
• Losses from identity theft or fraud
• Fees for credit reports, credit monitoring, or freezing/unfreezing credit
• Costs to replace IDs
• Postage for contacting banks or other institutions

• Lost Time: Up to four hours at $25 per hour (maximum $100) for time spent responding to the breach, such as changing passwords, investigating suspicious activity, or researching the data breach.
• Alternate Cash Payment: A one-time $50 payment is available as an alternative to the lost time claim.
• Medical Shield Monitoring: One year of CyEx Medical Shield Complete, which includes $1 million in medical identity theft insurance and monitoring for healthcare insurance ID exposure, medical record number exposure and unauthorized health savings account spending.

Class members may claim either the lost time payment or the alternate cash payment, but not both. Those who claim reimbursement for documented losses may also claim either lost time or the alternate cash payment.

Payout calculation examples

• If a class member provides documentation for $2,000 in out-of-pocket losses, they can claim the full $2,000 (up to the $3,000 cap).
• If a class member spent three hours responding to the breach, they can claim $75 for lost time (3 x $25).
• If a class member does not have documentation or did not spend time responding, they can claim the $50 alternate cash payment.
