Labcorp has agreed to a $35,000,000 settlement in a class action lawsuit that alleged American Medical Collection Agency (AMCA), which Labcorp used to recover outstanding medical debts, failed to adequately safeguard sensitive personal information from a data breach that occurred between August 2018 and March 2019.

The $35 million Labcorp class action settlement received preliminary approval from the court on April 21, 2026. The agreement covers all individuals for whom Labcorp transmitted personal information to Retrieval-Masters Creditor’s Bureau, doing business as American Medical Collection Agency, and such information was contained in the computer systems implicated by the data breach at AMCA that occurred between approximately August 2018 and March 2019.

The court-approved website for the Labcorp class action settlement can be found at AMCADataBreachSettlement83395.com.

Labcorp settlement class members who submit a timely, valid claim form can receive up to $5,000 for documented out-of-pocket losses incurred because of the data breach. This benefit covers losses stemming from identity theft or fraud and out-of-pocket costs for credit monitoring, legal services, notary, fax, postage, and more.

As part of this benefit, class members may claim reimbursement for up to 10 hours of lost time spent responding to the data breach, at a rate of $25 per hour.

Class members must submit proof, such as receipts, to receive a documented-loss payment.

In lieu of a documented-loss payment, class members can instead submit a claim form to receive an estimated $50 alternative cash payment, with no proof required.

Per the agreement, both cash benefit options may be adjusted on a pro rata basis, depending on the total number of valid claims filed.

In addition to monetary compensation, all class members can file a claim form to receive two years of CyEx Medical Shield Pro, which includes medical information monitoring and identity theft insurance.

To submit a Labcorp settlement claim form online, class members can head to this page and enter the class member ID found on their copy of the settlement notice. Alternatively, class members can download a PDF claim form to print, complete, and return by mail to the settlement administrator.

All Labcorp claim forms must be submitted online or postmarked by September 3, 2026.

The court will determine whether to grant the Labcorp settlement final approval following a hearing on August 20, 2026. Compensation will begin to be distributed to class members only after final approval has been granted and any appeals have been resolved.

The American Medical Collection Agency class action lawsuit alleged that the medical debt collection agency, which contracted with Labcorp to pursue individuals who have outstanding medical debt, failed to implement reasonable cybersecurity measures to prevent a data breach between approximately August 2018 and March 2019.

While Labcorp has agreed to a class action settlement, litigation against AMCA and the remaining defendants, including Quest Diagnostics, Sunrise Medical Laboratories, CBL Path and others, remains ongoing. More information is available at AMCADataBreachSettlement.com.
