The Interim Healthcare class action settlement received preliminary court approval on October 9, 2025 and covers all individuals in the United States who received a notice from Falcon Healthcare that the 2022 data breach may have impacted their private information.
The court-approved website for the Interim Healthcare settlement can be found at FalconDataSettlement.com.
Per settlement documents, Interim Healthcare settlement class members who submit a timely, valid claim form are eligible for one of two cash benefits. First, eligible class members can submit a claim form to receive up to $ 5,000 in reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred due to the Falcon Healthcare data breach. Class members must also provide reasonable documentation, such as phone records, correspondence or receipts, for each claimed expense. Data breach-related expenses will not be reimbursed without sufficient documentation, or if another agency has already reimbursed them, the settlement website states.
In lieu of an out-of-pocket-expense reimbursement from the deal, class members can submit a claim for an alternative cash payout of approximately $100. This settlement benefit requires no proof to be included with a class member’s claim form, the website highlights.
The final amount of the cash payout is subject to a pro rata (equal share) increase or decrease depending on the number of valid claims and is capped at $250, the settlement website shares.
In addition to cash benefits, all settlement class members may also opt to receive two years of CyEx Medical Shield Data Monitoring, which provides real-time security alerts and up to $1,000,000 in medical identity theft insurance with no premium.
To submit an Interim Healthcare claim form online, class members can visit this page of the settlement website and log in with the unique ID and PIN found on their copy of the settlement notice. Class members who prefer to submit a paper claim form can download a PDF claim form here to print, fill out and return to the settlement administrator.
All claim forms must be submitted online or postmarked by January 26, 2026.
A hearing to determine whether the Interim Health data breach settlement will receive final approval is scheduled for February 10, 2026. Compensation will begin to be distributed only after final approval is granted and all appeals are resolved.
The Interim Health class action lawsuit alleged that Falcon Healthcare was liable for a data breach that occurred between April 29, 2022 and July 3, 2022, as the entity allegedly failed to adequately safeguard patient information from unauthorized third parties. Per court documents, information potentially compromised in the data breach included full names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, health insurance information, and medical information such as diagnoses, lab results, medications and treatments.
