A $35 million settlement over the AMCA data breach — Labcorp had transmitted patient information to its billing vendor, American Medical Collection Agency (AMCA), whose systems were compromised between August 1, 2018 and March 30, 2019. Eligible people can file a claim for free through the official settlement administrator until September 3, 2026.
Estimated payout
A $50 no-proof alternative cash payment, or reimbursement of up to $5,000 for documented out-of-pocket losses (both adjusted pro-rata).
Proof required?
No proof for the $50 alternative cash payment; documentation is required for out-of-pocket loss claims.
Cost
Always free through the official administrator.
Who qualifies
Individuals whose personal information Labcorp transmitted to AMCA and that was held on AMCA's compromised systems between August 1, 2018 and March 30, 2019.
Background
This stems from one of the largest medical data breaches in U.S. history: the 2018–2019 hack of billing vendor AMCA exposed information from millions of patients across Labcorp, Quest Diagnostics, and other labs. AMCA itself filed for bankruptcy under the fallout, so the litigation continued against the labs that had sent it patient data — including this Labcorp resolution.
