Individuals who are eligible can claim up to $7,000 from the 2023 Navvis & Company and SSM Health data infringement settlement agreement. There’s a tight timeline—just four days left for eligible class action members to act and potentially share in the $6.5 million settlement related to a cybersecurity incident exposing over 2.8 million personal records. Claims must be submitted by July 7, 2025.
Understanding the reasons behind Navvis & SSM health lawsuits
Navvis & Company partners with healthcare providers like SSM Health to manage population health. The settlement arose from legal actions connected to a data breach that occurred between July 12th and July 25th, 2023. This breach allowed cybercriminals to access personal information of customers associated with Navvis & Company.
- Name and date of birth
- Social Security Number and health insurance details
- Medical record number
- Information about procedures and treatments
Not only SSM Health patients were affected; members from Arkansas Health Network, Horizon BCBS of New Jersey, Allina Health, RWJBH Corporate Services, and Florida Medical Clinic were also compromised. Notifications about the data breach began to be sent out in September 2023, with the last batch dispatched by June 2024.
Although six separate cases were initiated due to these breaches, they fall under the same title: DOE, et al. v. SSM Health Care Corporation, et al. The lawsuit claims that Navvis and SSM Health showed negligence by not implementing adequate cybersecurity measures to fend off such violations.
Though Navvis and SSM Health have refuted the fraud allegations, they consented to a $6.5 million settlement to deal with the repercussions of the 2023 data breaches.
What are the things that Navvis and SSM Health Settlement offers?
Eligible class action members can receive a portion of the settlement—possibly up to $7,000. According to the agreement, claimants might receive:
- Up to $2,000 for normal losses, stemming from the data breach. This includes expenses like bank fees, communication costs, credit monitoring fees, and travel expenses.
- Up to $5,000 for extraordinary losses, which may arise from issues like identity theft and fraud-related financial losses.
- Cash payment ratio. Those who had their information exposed but did not incur direct costs from the breach will receive a pro-rata payment after administrative fees and claims are considered.
Claimants seeking extraordinary losses will need to submit relevant documentation, such as proof of loss or expenses incurred. Additionally, claimants will get free credit monitoring services for two years. Although the deadline for claims related to a different data breach has passed, there’s still an opportunity to file for the Navvis breach.
Who is eligible for class action settlement?
Similar to this settlement, there’s still time for victims of the 2023 23andME data breach to file claims. For this Navvis settlement, individuals who made their personal information public and received notification about the breach are eligible.
Those looking to claim need to visit the official settlement website.
- The site requires submission of personal details.
- Documentation showing incurred costs or losses must be provided.
It’s noted that a final approval hearing is set for July 10, 2025. Claimants affected by the data breach should act quickly. For more information about the settlement, it’s best to check the official website for instructions on how to proceed.
