Why This Lawsuit Exists?
A class action lawsuit alleges that a November 2023 data incident at KMJ Health Service, a service provider for Rancho Family Medical Group (RFMG), compromised patient personal and protected health information.
The lawsuit claims RFMG failed to adequately safeguard this data.
RFMG denies wrongdoing but agreed to settle to avoid the expense and uncertainty of litigation.
