Where the money is going
Hampton Regional Medical Center agreed to pay $250,000 into a settlement fund. That fund pays Class Member benefits, notice and administration costs, attorneys' fees and costs, and service awards. Credit monitoring is paid first, then documented loss claims, and the alternative cash payments are adjusted pro rata to use the remaining net fund. Third-party reports state the fund is non-reversionary.
All amounts above are subject to Court approval at the January 25, 2027 Final Approval Hearing. The Court may award less than the amounts requested. The $20 alternative cash estimate comes from the Court-approved notice and may change based on the number of valid claims.
Common questions
How much money will I receive?
You may claim either up to $5,000 in documented losses (Cash Payment A) or an alternative cash payment estimated at $20 (Cash Payment B), plus one year of credit monitoring. Cash payments are adjusted pro rata to use the net settlement fund, so the final amounts may be higher or lower.
Do I need to submit proof of purchase?
Cash Payment B requires no receipts. Cash Payment A requires reasonable documentation of losses and an attestation under penalty of perjury. Expenses already reimbursed by another source are not covered. Third-party reports indicate the online form asks for the Class Member ID from your notice.
What if I didn’t receive a notice?
Notices went to people identified in the hospital's records. If you believe your information was involved but did not receive a notice, get more information from the settlement website directly at HRMCDataSettlement.com or call the Settlement Administrator at (833) 453-3806.
Does staying in the class affect my right to sue later?
Yes. Unless you exclude yourself by December 24, 2026, you give up the right to sue Hampton Regional Medical Center and the Released Parties over the claims this Settlement resolves, whether or not you file a claim. The full release is in the Settlement Agreement.
When will payments be sent out?
The Court will hold the Final Approval Hearing on January 25, 2027. Benefits are distributed after final approval and after any appeals are resolved. Check HRMCDataSettlement.com for updates.
