The $4.45 million Proliance Surgeons class action settlement received preliminary approval from the court on January 29, 2026 and covers all individuals residing in the United States whose private information may have been compromised during the data security incident, including all those who received notice of the cyberattack from the healthcare provider.

Per court documents, approximately 437,932 individuals are covered by the class action settlement.

The court-approved website for the Proliance Surgeons data breach settlement can be found at ProlianceDataSettlement.com.

According to the website, Proliance settlement class members who file a valid, timely claim form have multiple options for reimbursement and may claim any and all benefits applicable to them.

 Class members who submit with their claim form documented proof of out-of-pocket losses stemming from the data breach are eligible to receive a one-time cash payment of up to $5,000 from the settlement. The settlement agreement reports that class members may receive compensation for unreimbursed documented losses related to fraud, identity theft, credit monitoring, bank fees, professional fees, and miscellaneous expenses such as travel and postage.

Proliance class members may also file a claim to receive a one-time, pro-rated cash payment of up to $599 from the settlement fund; no proof is required to claim this benefit. The final amount each class member receives, the agreement notes, will depend on the total number of valid claims filed and how much remains in the net settlement fund after the payment of attorneys’ fees, settlement administration costs, lead plaintiff service awards and the cost of all other settlement benefits.

Class members may elect to receive their cash payout via check or electronic payment upon submission of their claim form, and the agreement states that all checks must be cashed within 90 days of issuance before expiration.

In addition to any monetary benefits, the agreement says that all settlement class members may file a claim to receive an enrollment code for two free years of CyEx Medical Shield Complete, which provides medical information protection and monitoring.

To file a Proliance Surgeons claim form online, class members can head to this page and log in using the class member ID found on their received copy of the settlement notice. Alternatively, class members may download a PDF of the claim form to print, fill out and return by mail to the address of the settlement administrator listed at the top of the document.

All Proliance Surgeons settlement claim forms must be submitted online or by mail by May 28, 2026.

Finally, as part of the settlement, Proliance has agreed to enhance its policies, processes and security controls to secure the highly confidential patient information stored on its network.

The court will determine whether to grant final approval to the Proliance data breach settlement following a hearing on June 26, 2026. Compensation will begin to be distributed to class members only after final approval has been granted and any appeals are resolved.

The Proliance Surgeons class action lawsuit alleged that the specialized surgeon group based in Washington failed to implement proper cybersecurity measures to protect the confidential patient information it collected from patients in the course of business, which led to a targeted cyberattack on Proliance on or around February 11, 2023. Per court documents, the private patient information that may have been compromised as a result of the breach included names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, contact information, financial information, medical information, health insurance information and medical record numbers.
