OnePoint Patient Care Data Breach Settlement
OP Pharmacy, LLC, also known as OnePoint Patient Care, LLC, a Kentucky-based hospice-dedicated pharmacy and pharmacy benefits manager, was sued in response to a 2024 data breach. The lawsuit relates to a security incident detected by OnePoint on August 8, 2024. Hackers gained access to systems containing the protected health information of 1,741,152 individuals and copied files from its network between August 6 and August 8, 2024. At the time the lawsuit was filed, approximately 528,000 patients were living. Notification letters were mailed to the affected individuals in October and November, 2024
The lawsuit alleged that the defendant willfully, recklessly, or negligently maintained patient data, as it failed to implement appropriate cybersecurity measures and did not keep its systems free of vulnerabilities. Two lawsuits were filed in response to the breach, which were consolidated as they had overlapping claims. The consolidated lawsuit – Christopher Russo v. OP Pharmacy, LLC a/k/a OnePoint Patient Care, LLC – was filed in the District Court for the Western District of Kentucky, Louisville Division. The lawsuit asserted claims for negligence, negligence per se, breach of implied contract, unjust enrichment, breach of fiduciary duty, and for declaratory and injunctive relief.
The defendant disagrees with the claims and contentions in the lawsuit; however, a settlement was negotiated to avoid the cost and risks associated with a trial and related appeals. OnePoint will establish a $2,115,000 settlement fund, from which attorneys’ fees and expenses, settlement administration costs, and service awards for the class representatives will be deducted. The remaining funds will pay for class member benefits.

A claim may be submitted for one of two cash payments: reimbursement of documented, unreimbursed losses due to the data breach up to $3,500 per class member, or an alternative pro rata cash payment, estimated to be $100 per claimant. The cash payments will be subject to a pro rata increase or decrease, depending on the number of valid claims received. In addition, OnePoint has agreed to implement additional security measures to reduce the risk of similar breaches in the future. The deadline for exclusion and opting out is August 24, 2026. The deadline for submitting a claim is October 8, 2026, and the final fairness hearing is scheduled for September 23, 2026.
Clay-Platte Family Medicine Data Breach Settlement
Clay-Platte Family Medicine and Barry Pointe Family Care in Kansas City, Missouri, and Cobblestone Family Medicine Clinic dba Clay Platte Family Medicine Clinic and Nathan D. Granger, dba Summit Family and Sports Medicine in Harrisonville, Missouri, were sued in response to a June 2024 data breach involving the electronic protected health information of patients. Hackers gained access to its network on or around June 26, 2024, and potentially viewed or obtained patient data such as names, contact information, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and medical information.
Multiple class action lawsuits were filed in response to the data breach, which were consolidated into a single action – Highfill, et al. v. Clay-Platte Family Medicine Clinic, P.C., et al – in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri. The consolidated lawsuit alleged that the defendants failed to implement reasonable and appropriate safeguards to ensure the privacy of patient data, such as the encryption of data on its network. The lawsuit asserted claims for negligence, negligence per se, breach of implied contract, invasion of privacy by public disclosure of private facts, breach of fiduciary duty of confidentiality, negligent training and supervision, invasion of privacy, and violations of the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act.
The defendants deny any wrongdoing and sought to have the lawsuit dismissed. The motion to dismiss was granted in part, although certain claims were allowed to proceed. Following mediation and continued negotiations, a settlement was agreed to by all parties. The settlement class consists of the 53,916 individuals who were notified about the data breach. A $1,000,000 settlement fund will be established to pay for court-approved costs and benefits for the class members.
All class members are entitled to enroll in three years of free medical and credit monitoring services. In addition, a claim may be submitted for reimbursement of documented, unreimbursed losses or an alternative cash payment. Claims for reimbursement of documented losses have been capped at $15,000 per class member. The remainder of the settlement fund will be paid pro rata to individuals who claim an alternative cash payment. The deadline for exclusion and opting out is September 6, 2026. The deadline for submitting a claim is September 30, 2026, and the final fairness hearing is scheduled for September 29, 2026.
