The CHS MyChart class action settlement received preliminary court approval on December 11, 2025, and covers anyone who sought and/or received treatment from Catholic Health System (CHS) or who logged into CHS’s MyChart patient portal between January 1, 2020 and December 11, 2025.
The court-approved website for the CHS MyChart settlement can be found at CatholicHealthSettlement.com.
Settlement documents state that CHS has identified approximately 300,000 people eligible to participate in the class action settlement.
Catholic Health settlement class members who logged into the CHS MyChart portal during the relevant time period and file a timely, valid claim form can receive a cash payout of up to $20 from the deal, the settlement website says.
Class members who otherwise sought and/or received treatment from CHS during the relevant time frame may file a claim form to receive a 12-month subscription to Dashlane Premium privacy monitoring services, which includes:
- A virtual private network (VPN) to encrypt subscribers’ data and mask their IP addresses;
- A private search engine that does not store personally identifiable information;
- Automatic requests to data brokers to remove subscribers’ personal information;
- A multi-device password manager; and
- An encrypted digital vault for sensitive records and documents.
To submit a MyChart settlement claim form online, class members can visit this page of the settlement website and log in with the unique class member ID found in their copy of the settlement notice.
Alternatively, a PDF claim form is available to print, fill out and mail back to the address listed on the first page of the document.
All CHS MyChart settlement claim forms must be submitted online or postmarked by April 10, 2026.
CHS has also agreed, as part of the settlement, to remove third-party tracking technologies such as Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel from the CHSbuffalo.org and/or CHCareOnDemand.org websites, if the trackers are present.
A hearing is scheduled for April 23, 2026 to determine whether the Catholic Health System MyChart settlement will receive final approval from the court. Settlement benefits will begin to be distributed only after final approval has been granted and any appeals have been resolved.
The CHS MyChart class action lawsuit claimed that the healthcare provider installed third-party tracking tools on its websites and MyChart patient portal, which shared patients’ sensitive personal data to tech companies, including Meta, without consent.
