Family Medicine Centers settlement class members who submit a timely, valid claim form can receive up to $5,000 for documented out-of-pocket losses stemming from the data breach.
Class members must submit proof, such as email correspondence or receipts, to receive this benefit.
In lieu of a documented-loss payment, class members may instead submit a claim form to receive a pro rata alternative cash payment of approximately $75, with no proof required. The final amount of each class member’s cash payout may increase or decrease, depending on the total number of claims filed.
In addition to monetary benefits, all class members can file a claim form for two years of CyEx medical data monitoring, which includes identity theft insurance, real-time one-bureau credit monitoring, access to fraud resolution agents, and more.
Class members who are minors can instead file a claim for two years of CyEx’s minor monitoring product, which includes real-time Social Security number monitoring, public records traces, and more.

The court will determine whether to grant the FMC settlement final approval following a hearing on September 15, 2026. Compensation will begin to be distributed to class members only after final approval has been granted and any appeals have been resolved.
The Family Medicine Centers class action lawsuit claimed that the Amarillo, Texas-based primary care provider failed to implement reasonable cybersecurity measures to protect the sensitive information in its systems from a data breach on or around July 26, 2022.
