NOTICE OF PROPOSED CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT


In the Superior Court of Penobscot County, Maine
In re: Covenant Health Data Security Litigation, No. PENSC-CV-2025-63

Were you notified that your Private Information may have been compromised by a Data Incident at Covenant Health, Inc. on or around May 18, 2025? You may be eligible for benefits from a class action settlement.

A court authorized this Settlement Website. You are not being sued. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.

•    A Settlement has been reached with Covenant Health Inc., St. Joseph Healthcare Foundation, St. Joseph Hospital, and St. Joseph Hospital Nashua, N.H. (the “Defendants”) in a class action lawsuit about the unauthorized access of Covenant Health Inc.’s IT environment on or around May 18, 2025 (the “Data Incident”) potentially compromising patients’ personally identifiable information (“PII”) and private health information (“PHI”) (collectively, “Private Information”). The Plaintiffs claim the Defendants failed to adequately protect patients’ Private Information. The Defendants deny all allegations and any wrongdoing.


•    The Settlement Class includes all persons residing in the United States whose Private Information was compromised by the Data Incident and who were sent notice of the Data Incident.


•    If approved by the Court, the Defendants will pay $2,000,000 into a Settlement Fund to resolve the lawsuit. The Settlement Fund will provide Cash Payments to Settlement Class Members (Cash Payment A – Documented Losses: up to $5,000 for Documented Losses and/or Cash Payment B – Pro Rata Cash: a payment estimated to be $75) and two (2) years of Credit Monitoring, as well as Settlement Administration fees, court-awarded Attorneys’ Fees, Costs, and Expenses, and court-awarded Service Awards. Payment amounts may be subject to pro rata (proportional) adjustment based on the amount of Valid Claims submitted.


•    Your rights are affected whether you do or do not act. Please read this Settlement Website carefully.
