The window to claim up to $2,500 from a $2.4 million settlement related to the Somnia medical data breach is closing soon. The deadline to submit claims is January 2, 2025, offering affected individuals a limited time to secure compensation for losses.
What Happened in the Breach?
The breach occurred on July 11, 2022, and involved sensitive patient data from those who received anesthesiology services through Somnia-managed practices. Exposed information included names, birth dates, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, financial information, medical record numbers, health insurance policy numbers, and Medicaid or Medicare IDs. While Somnia denied any wrongdoing, the company agreed to a $2.425 million settlement to resolve the claims.
