The court-authorized website for the Coastal Orthopedics data breach settlement can be found at CoastalOrthopedicsSettlement.com.

The $1,403,646.30 deal covers a class of 203,427 United States residents whose private information may have been accessed and/or acquired by an unauthorized third party as a result of the Coastal Orthopedics data breach, which was discovered on June 11, 2023.

To receive benefits from the Coastal Orthopedics class action settlement, eligible class members must submit a valid claim form online or by mail by August 13, 2025.

Head to this page to file a claim form through the official Coastal Orthopedics settlement website. To submit a Coastal Orthopedics settlement claim form online, you will need your unique class member ID, which was provided on the personalized settlement notice you received in the mail.

Alternatively, you can download a PDF claim form to print, complete and return by mail to the settlement administrator.

According to the settlement agreement, class members who file a timely, valid claim form will be eligible to receive reimbursement of up to $10,000 per person for documented out-of-pocket expenses that were incurred between June 6, 2023 and August 13, 2025 and are “fairly traceable” to the data breach. Per the agreement, these monetary losses may include charges incurred as a result of identity theft or fraud, unreimbursed bank or credit card fees, credit monitoring costs, phone charges, postage, gas and other miscellaneous expenses.

Consumers may also submit a claim form to receive two years of one-bureau credit monitoring services, including identity theft insurance and medical information monitoring, the settlement website relays.

In addition, the site says that class members who file a claim form are eligible to receive a pro-rated cash payment from the Coastal Orthopedics settlement. According to the agreement, cash payout amounts will be calculated according to whether a consumer belongs to group 1—class members whose Social Security numbers were compromised during the data breach—or group 2—those whose Social Security numbers were not exposed as a result of the incident.

Court documents estimate that group 1 may consist of 72,516 class members.

The website states that cash payments to consumers in group 1 will be three times the amount distributed to those in group 2.

The Coastal Orthopedics settlement received preliminary court approval in March 2025. The court will decide whether to grant final approval to the terms of the deal at a hearing on July 28, 2025.

Settlement benefits will be issued to eligible class members only if the deal receives the final okay from the court, and after any appeals are resolved.
