A July 2023 data breach at M&D Capital Premier Billing exposed highly sensitive personal and medical information—including names, addresses, medical billing details, diagnoses, medications, insurance info, dates of birth, and even Social Security numbers. A $1,000,000 class action settlement is now open for claims, and affected individuals may be able to receive up to $5,000, a $75 cash payment, and two years of medical monitoring.
Here’s the quick breakdown so you can decide what to do next.
Why is there a lawsuit?
The lawsuit alleges that unauthorized parties accessed systems holding patients’ Private Information in July 2023. Plaintiffs claim M&D Capital failed to implement reasonable data security safeguards, leading to the breach and exposing highly sensitive medical and personal information.
M&D Capital and Island Ambulatory Surgery Center deny wrongdoing, but agreed to settle to avoid further litigation.
Who qualifies?
You may be part of the settlement if:
Your private information was involved in the data incident discovered on or about July 8, 2023, and
You later received a notice of the breach (sent around March 18, 2024).
How much can people get?
Eligible class members can choose from several benefit types:
1. Reimbursement for Documented Losses — up to $5,000

Bank fees
Credit monitoring or ID theft insurance costs
Gas/postage for credit-related errands

Other reasonable expenses, with documentation
