The Whitman Hospital & Medical Clinics class action settlement received preliminary approval from the court on February 20, 2026. The deal covers all United States residents whose private information was impacted in the Whitman Hospital & Medical Clinics data breach.

Court documents state that the private information of approximately 64,401 people was compromised in the data breach.

The court-approved website for the Whitman Hospital data breach settlement can be found at WhitmanSettlement.com.

According to the website, Whitman Hospital settlement class members who submit with their timely, valid claim form proof of documented losses stemming from the incident can receive up to $5,000 in reimbursement.

The settlement agreement explains that class members seeking reimbursement must submit receipts, telephone records, statements or other third-party documentation as proof of their data breach-related losses. Expenses covered under this reimbursement option include postage, faxes, travel, notary charges, cell charges, data charges, bank fees and professional fees, the settlement agreement says.

In lieu of a documented-loss payment, class members may instead file a claim form to receive an alternative cash payment of roughly $60 from the deal, with no proof required. The agreement outlines that each class member’s final payout amount may increase or decrease depending on the total number of valid claims filed.

In addition to either benefit, all settlement class members who file a valid claim form are eligible to receive two free years of IDX Identity Protection Services, which includes credit monitoring and identity theft insurance.

The Whitman Hospital & Medical Clinics class action lawsuit claimed that the Washington-based multispecialty hospital and branch of medical centers failed to implement reasonable cybersecurity measures to safeguard sensitive information stored on its systems, leading to a data breach that occurred between December 26, 2024 and February 28, 2025.

Per court documents, private information that may have been compromised during the breach includes names, dates of birth, addresses, Social Security numbers, financial account information, diagnosis information, medications, treatment history, health insurance information and dates of treatment.
