A proposed class action settlement is set to benefit millions affected by a data breach at Managed Care of North America (MCNA). The settlement, resulting from the Crowe v. MCNA lawsuit, covers individuals who received notices regarding the potential compromise of their private information.
The breach, which occurred between February 26 and March 7, 2023, may have impacted nearly 9 million individuals, exposing personal and protected health information. Class members can claim up to $2,500 each for documented out-of-pocket losses, with a total cap of $250,000. Claims must be submitted by October 19.
