The U.S. Dermatology Partners class action settlement received preliminary court approval on November 19, 2025, and covers approximately 13,986 patients whose private information was potentially impacted by the June 2024 data breach, including those who received notice of the data breach from the dermatology group.

The court-approved website for the U.S Dermatology Partners data breach settlement can be found at OSDMDataSettlement.com.

Per the settlement website, U.S Dermatology Partners settlement class members who submit a timely, valid claim form have multiple options for reimbursement.

The settlement site relays class members who submit with their claim form documented proof of ordinary out-of-pocket losses are eligible to receive a one-time cash payment of up to $400. Per the settlement website, covered losses must have been incurred as a result of the June 2024 data breach, and reimbursable expenses include those related to freezing and unfreezing credit, credit monitoring, and miscellaneous expenses such as notary fees or postage.

Class members who submit with their claim form documented proof of losses related to identity fraud stemming from the data breach are eligible to receive a one-time cash payment of up to $4,000. This payment, the agreement outlines, must include documentation that proves the loss is actual, unreimbursed, and more likely than not caused by the June 2024 data breach.

Settlement documents state that settlement class members may claim only one of the two documented loss payments; class members with a valid claim may choose between receiving reimbursement for documented ordinary losses or for identity theft losses.

In addition to either documented-loss payout options, class members may also file a claim for up to four hours of lost time spent remedying issues arising from the data breach, at a rate of $20 per hour, for a maximum payout of $80. Per the settlement agreement, tasks that can be reimbursed under this payout include changing passwords, investigating suspicious account activity, researching the data incident, and other actions arising from the data breach.

Finally, the settlement site reports that all class members are eligible to receive with any cash payouts two years of free one-bureau credit monitoring, which includes services such as dark web scanning and comprehensive public records monitoring.

According to the settlement website, U.S. Dermatology Partners has also implemented additional security measures to mitigate the risk of a future data breach.

To submit a U.S Dermatology Partners claim form, settlement class members can head to this page and enter their unique ID and PIN as found on their copy of the settlement notice. Alternatively, class members can download a PDF claim form from the settlement site to print, complete, and return by mail to the settlement administrator.

All U.S Dermatology Partners settlement claim forms must be submitted online or postmarked by February 17, 2026.

A hearing to determine whether the court will grant the U.S. Dermatology settlement final approval will be held on April 1, 2026. Compensation will begin to be distributed only after final approval has been granted and any appeals are resolved.

The U.S Dermatology Partners class action lawsuit claimed the nationwide dermatology provider failed to secure patients’ private information, resulting in a data breach that revealed patients’ names, dates of birth, medical record numbers, health insurance information, and, in some cases, Social Security and driver’s license numbers.
