What happened
The lawsuit concerns a data security incident at American Renal Management LLC, doing business as Innovative Renal Care (IRC). An unauthorized actor accessed IRC's systems between February 21, 2024 and March 1, 2024, and IRC discovered the incident on or around February 29, 2024. The personal information of employees, former employees, and patients was potentially compromised.
IRC denies all allegations and any wrongdoing, and the Court has not decided who is right. The parties agreed to settle to avoid the cost, risk, and delay of continued litigation. The $900,000 Settlement Fund pays class member benefits as well as claims administration costs, any service awards, and attorneys' fees and expenses.

Where the money is going
IRC will pay $900,000 into a Settlement Fund. The fund covers benefits for class members who submit valid claims, all claims administration costs, any service awards, and attorneys' fees and expenses. Because the cash payment is pro rata, the final amount per claimant depends on how many valid claims are filed.
All amounts listed above are pending and subject to final court approval at the Final Fairness Hearing. The Court may award less than the amounts requested. The $100 cash payment is an estimate and may be adjusted pro rata based on the number of valid claims.
Common questions
How much money will I receive?
The settlement website lists reimbursement of up to $5,000 for documented monetary losses related to the Data Incident, a pro rata cash payment estimated at $100, and two years of credit monitoring. The $100 figure is not guaranteed and will be adjusted up or down based on the number of valid claims.
Do I need to submit proof of purchase?
Documented Monetary Losses require documentation supporting the out-of-pocket loss. The Pro Rata Cash Payment and Credit Monitoring are not described as requiring documentation of losses, but you still need to submit a valid Claim Form. The online form asks for the Class Member ID on your notice.
What if I didn’t receive a notice?
The class also includes people otherwise determined to have potentially had their personal information impacted, even if they did not receive a notice. If you believe you were affected but did not get a notice or Class Member ID, call Kroll Settlement Administration at (833) 319-0340 before the December 21, 2026 deadline.
Does staying in the class affect my right to sue later?
If you stay in the settlement, you give up the right to sue, continue to sue, or be part of any other lawsuit against IRC over the legal claims resolved by this settlement, whether or not you file a claim. To keep those rights, you must opt out by November 20, 2026.
When will payments be sent out?
Benefits are distributed after the Court grants final approval at the February 1, 2027 Final Fairness Hearing and after any appeals are resolved. An appeal can add a year or more to that timeline.
