The Twin Cities Pain Clinic class action settlement received preliminary approval from the court on August 11, 2026. Eligible for the settlement are all individuals in the United States who had private information accessed and/or acquired as a result of the data incident.

The court-approved website for the Twin Cities Pain Clinic (TCPC) data breach settlement can be found at TCPCDataSettlement.com.

Settlement class members who submit a timely, valid claim form can receive up to $450 for documented “ordinary” out-of-pocket losses incurred between July 9, 2025 and November 9, 2026 due to the data breach. This benefit covers fees for credit reports, credit monitoring, freezing/unfreezing credit, replacement IDs, postage, and more.

Alternatively, class members can file a claim form to receive up to $4,500 for documented “extraordinary” out-of-pocket losses incurred between the same dates due to the data incident. This benefit covers losses from identity theft or fraud that are not already covered by another settlement benefit.

Class members must submit proof, such as bank statements or receipts, to receive an “ordinary” or “extraordinary” documented-loss payment.

In lieu of a cash payment for documented losses, class members can file a claim form to receive a $55 cash payment, with no proof required.

There is a $385,000 aggregate cap on cash payouts from the settlement, and class members’ payments may be reduced on a pro rata (proportional) basis should the total value of all valid claims exceed the cap.

Lastly, class members can elect on their claim form to enroll in two years of CyEx Financial Shield Complete, which includes credit monitoring, monitoring for high-risk or unauthorized transactions, and financial fraud insurance.

To submit a TCPC settlement claim form online, class members can head to this page and enter the login ID and PIN found on their copy of the settlement notice. Alternatively, class members can download a PDF claim form to print, complete and return by mail to the settlement administrator.

All Twin Cities Pain Clinic settlement claim forms must be filed online or postmarked by November 9, 2026.

The court will determine whether to grant final approval to the Twin Cities Pain Clinic data breach settlement following a hearing on January 20, 2027. Benefits will begin to be distributed to class members only after final approval has been granted and any appeals have been resolved.

The Twin Cities Pain Clinic class action lawsuit alleged that the Minnesota-based pain management specialty medical provider failed to implement reasonable cybersecurity safeguards to protect patients’ private information from a data incident after an employee’s email account was compromised in July 2025.

Court documents state that personal information that may have been compromised during the data breach included names, dates of birth, mailing addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, financial account information, health insurance information, Social Security numbers, medical records numbers, treatment notes, and provider information.
