A Settlement has been reached with Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Inc. and Point32Health, Inc. (“Defendants” or “Harvard Pilgrim”), in a class action lawsuit concerning the targeted cyberattack on the Defendants’ computer systems that occurred on or about April 17, 2023 (the “Data Security Incident”), in which certain files that contained patients’ private information were accessed. These files may have contained personal information such as names, physical addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, health insurance account information, Social Security numbers, taxpayer identification numbers, and clinical information (such as medical history, diagnoses, treatment, dates of service, and provider names).
The lawsuit is captioned In Re Harvard Pilgrim Data Security Incident Litigation, Case No. 1:23-cv-11211, pending in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts.
Harvard Pilgrim denies each and all of the claims and contentions alleged against it in the Action and denies all charges of wrongdoing or liability alleged (or which could be alleged) in the Action, but has agreed to a settlement to avoid the costs and risks associated with continuing the litigation.
You are included in the Settlement Class if you are a US resident whose personal information was impacted by the Data Security Incident—including all individuals who were notified of the Data Security Incident.
Your rights are affected whether you act or don’t act. Please read the Notice carefully and completely.
