Patients and customers whose private information the October 2025 Vida Y Salud-Health Systems Inc. data incident potentially impacted may be eligible to claim up to $3,580 from a class action settlement.
Vida Y Salud-Health Systems agreed to pay $500,000 to resolve a class action lawsuit related to a data security incident that occurred in October 2025. The lawsuit alleged an unauthorized party accessed certain files containing sensitive private information, such as names, Social Security numbers, claims information, medical diagnoses or conditions, and credit card or bank account numbers.
Who can file a claim?
Class members are all individuals residing in the United States whose private information the October 2025 Vida Y Salud-Health Systems potentially impacted, including anyone who received notice of the data incident.
How much can class members get?
The settlement provides the following benefits:
- Compensation for out-of-pocket expenses: Class members who experienced actual, documented out-of-pocket losses due to the data incident can claim up to $3,500. Eligible expenses include losses from identify theft or fraud; fees for credit reports, credit monitoring or freezing/unfreezing credit; costs to replace identification documents; and postage for contacting banks by mail.
- Compensation for lost time: Class members who spent time addressing issues the data breach caused can claim up to four hours of lost time at $20 per hour for a maximum of $80. Tasks may include changing passwords, investigating suspicious activity or researching the incident.
