The Boston Children’s Health Physicians class action settlement received preliminary court approval on June 27, 2025 and covers anyone who was directly or indirectly notified by BCHP that their information may have been impacted by the data breach.

The court-approved website for the Boston Children’s Health Physicians settlement can be found at BCHPSettlement.com.

BCHP settlement class members who submit a timely, valid claim form will be able to receive one of two types of cash compensation.

Consumers who submit valid proof of documented losses related to the BCHP data breach and select Cash Payment A on their claim form may receive up to $5,000 in reimbursement for those losses. Data breach losses will not be reimbursed by the settlement if the class member has already been reimbursed for them by another source, the class action settlement website says.

Those who submit no proof of documented losses and select Cash Payment B on the claim form may receive a flat cash payment estimated to be approximately $100. This settlement payout may decrease below $100 or increase up to a maximum of $350 on a pro-rata, or equal-share, basis, depending on the total number of valid claims filed, the settlement site relays.

In addition, all class members may also elect to receive two years of CyEx Medical Shield Medical Data Monitoring, which, per the settlement website, will include:

• Insurance coverage for up to $1,000,000 for medical identity theft;
• Medical identity monitoring; and
• Real-time alerts.

To submit a claim form online, BCHP class members must visit this page on the settlement website and log in with the unique class member ID found in their copy of the settlement notice.

Alternatively, a PDF of the claim form is available to print, fill out and mail back to the address listed on the first page of the document.

All claim forms must be submitted or postmarked by November 25, 2025.

Additionally, Boston Children's Health Physicians, as part of the class action settlement, has agreed to implement further cybersecurity measures to better protect its information systems.

A hearing is set for December 10, 2025 to determine whether the settlement will receive final approval from the court. Compensation will begin to be dispensed to class members only after final approval is granted and any appeals are resolved.

The Boston Children’s Health Physicians class action lawsuit claimed that it was BCHP’s negligence that allowed the September 2024 data breach to occur and potentially expose the private information of thousands of patients, including:

• Social Security numbers;
• Names;
• Dates of birth;
• Addresses;
• Medical record numbers;
• Driver’s license numbers;
• Health insurance information;
• Treatment information;
• Financial and billing information;
• Demographic information; and
• Employee benefit information.
