Medical Associates of Brevard Data Breach Settlement Opens for Patients

Who Can Participate in the Medical Associates Brevard Settlement?

Patients may qualify as settlement class members if they are US residents and had private information exposed in the January 24, 2025, Medical Associates of Brevard data incident. 

This group includes both current and former patients who received services from the healthcare provider prior to the breach occurring.

Breach notification letter 

Individuals who received notification letters from the healthcare organization are automatically eligible to participate in the settlement. 

Patients who didn't receive a letter but were members of the Medical Associates of Brevard group around the time of the breach should verify eligibility with the settlement administrator by phone (844) 496-1203 or email at [email protected].

Proposed Settlement Remedies 

The settlement agreement offers two distinct categories of benefits, designed to protect eligible class members and compensate them for losses resulting from the breach. 

Eligible class members may receive medical identity monitoring, while those who suffered financial losses can seek remedies for their out-of-pocket losses.

Medical data monitoring services

All settlement class members qualify for one year of CyEx Medical Shield Pro at no cost to them. 

This comprehensive medical identity protection service advertises:

• $1 million in medical identity theft insurance coverage.
• Healthcare insurance ID exposure monitoring to detect unauthorized use of your insurance.
• Medical Record Number (MRN) exposure tracking to identify potential medical identity theft.
• Unauthorized Health Savings Account (HSA) spending alerts.
• Access to fraud resolution specialists who help resolve any issues that arise.
• Real-time alerts when suspicious activity occurs with your medical information.

This specialized monitoring focuses specifically on healthcare-related identity theft, which traditional credit monitoring often misses. 

Reimbursement for documented losses

Eligible class members may also claim reimbursements up to $1,500 if the data breach caused them to incur out-of-pocket expenses. 

Eligible expenses must have occurred between January 24, 2025, and December 1, 2025, and include:

• Identity theft or fraud losses directly related to the exposed information.
• Credit report fees, credit monitoring services, or charges for credit freeze/unfreeze services.
• Costs associated with replacing identification documents due to theft or fraud.
• Postage expenses for mailing correspondence to financial institutions about fraud.
• Other reasonable expenses connected to the data breach.

This remedy also requires documentation for all claimed expenses, such as bank statements, receipts, police reports, or credit card statements.
