What happened
The lawsuit alleges that Allina Health System used pixel tracking tools on its patient-facing websites and webpages. Plaintiffs allege that these tools caused users' personal and health-related information to be shared with third parties without their knowledge or consent, in violation of their privacy rights. The alleged conduct covers a class period running from September 16, 2018 through May 11, 2026.
Allina Health System denies all claims and all allegations of wrongdoing or liability. The Court has not determined that Allina did anything wrong. The parties agreed to settle to avoid the cost, risk, and delay of continued litigation.

Where the money is going
This is a non-reversionary common fund. Attorneys' fees, class representative service awards, and notice and administration costs are paid from the $12,500,000 Settlement Fund before distributions to Class Members are calculated. The fund is split into two pools: $10,303,098 for Group 1 members and $2,196,902 for Group 2 members.
All deductions are subject to final court approval at the September 24, 2026 Fairness Hearing. The Court may award less than the amounts requested. Remaining funds are split pro rata between Group 1 members (portal/bill pay/scheduling users) and Group 2 members (general patients) based on valid claims filed in each group.
Common questions
How much money will I receive?
Class Members who submit a valid and timely Claim Form receive a pro rata cash payment from their respective group's net settlement fund. Group 1 (portal, bill pay, and scheduling users) shares from $10,303,098, and Group 2 (non-portal, non-bill pay, non-scheduling patients) shares from $2,196,902, after attorneys' fees, service awards, and administration costs are deducted. The exact per-person amount depends on how many valid claims are filed in each group. No documentation is required to file.
Do I need to submit proof of purchase?
No documentation is required. You do not need receipts, account numbers, or any other proof to file a claim. Simply complete the Claim Form confirming you meet the eligibility criteria. The Settlement Administrator, Atticus Administration, will validate your claim against Allina Health System's records.
What if I didn’t receive a notice?
You can still file a Claim Form even if you did not receive a direct notice, as long as you meet the eligibility requirements. Notice was mailed and emailed to identified Class Members; some may not have received it due to address changes or email delivery issues. Visit AllinaPixelSettlement.com or call 1-800-956-7192 with questions about your eligibility.
Does staying in the class affect my right to sue later?
If you do not opt out by August 10, 2026, you remain in the Settlement Class and release your claims against Allina Health System related to the pixel tracking allegations in this case. That means you cannot separately sue Allina over these issues. To opt out, mail a signed letter postmarked no later than August 10, 2026 to: Allina Pixel Settlement, c/o Atticus Administration, PO Box 64053, St. Paul, MN 55164. The letter must include the case name and number, your full name, address, telephone number, your original signature, and a statement that you wish to be excluded. Requests must be submitted individually.
When will payments be sent out?
The Court will hold the Final Approval Hearing on September 24, 2026 at 9:30 a.m. CT in Courtroom 7B, Warren E. Burger Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse, 316 Robert St North, Saint Paul, MN 55101. Payments are issued only after the Court grants final approval and any appeals are resolved. The appeals process can take a year or more after the hearing.
