Patients Receiving Up To $5,000 After Healthcare Firm Breached, Exposing Records of 426,536 Americans

A recent settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against a US orthopedic and neurosurgery practice, Rebound Orthopedics & Neurosurgery, following a security breach in February 2024. This breach compromised the personal information of over 400,000 patients, including sensitive details such as names, dates of birth, medical information, Social Security numbers, and more.

The lawsuit alleged that Rebound failed to implement proper cybersecurity measures, leading to the breach. While the healthcare firm denies any wrongdoing, all parties involved have agreed to the settlement terms. As part of the agreement, Rebound will establish a $2.5 million fund to cover settlement costs and provide cash payments and benefits to affected individuals.

One of the benefits offered to affected patients is enrollment in CyEx Medical Shield Complete for two years. This service includes $1 million in medical and identity theft insurance, real-time alerts, and victim assistance. Additionally, individuals who can provide documented proof of losses incurred between February 1, 2024, and May 28, 2026, may be eligible for a cash payment of up to $5,000.

For those unable to provide proof of losses, a one-time cash payment of around $75 is available, with the amount subject to adjustment based on the number of claims filed. The deadline for submitting claims is May 28th.
