What happened
The plaintiff claimed patients were not clearly informed about potential out-of-pocket costs for Natera's genetic screening tests. Natera denies the allegations and settled to avoid the cost of prolonged litigation.

Where the money is going
This is a common fund settlement: Natera will pay $9,500,000 into a Settlement Fund. The fund first pays notice and administration costs, any service award, Class Counsel's court-approved attorneys' fees and expenses, and taxes. The remaining Net Settlement Fund goes to claimants: those whose payments above $249 or $349 appear in Natera's records share 94.7% pro rata, and claimants without such proof share 5.3%, capped at $50 each. Any unused part of the no-proof share goes to the proof claimants, no money returns to Natera, and leftover uncashed amounts may be redistributed or donated to one or more 501(c)(3) organizations approved by the Court.
All amounts listed above are pending and subject to final court approval at the Final Approval Hearing. The Court may award less than the amounts requested. If money remains after any second distribution of uncashed payments, Class Counsel will ask the Court to approve donating the balance to one or more non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations.
Common questions
How much money can I get?
Claimants for whom Natera's records contain proof of out-of-pocket payment above the thresholds will receive a pro rata share of 94.7% of the Net Settlement Fund; claimants without such proof in Natera's records will receive a payment not to exceed $50, subject to the available Net Settlement Fund.
Do I need proof of payment?
Your payment category depends on whether Natera's records contain proof of your out-of-pocket payment above the thresholds; members with such proof have a Notice identification number beginning with "A", and those without have one beginning with "B".
What is the deadline to file a claim?
You must submit your Claim Form online no later than May 3, 2027, or mail your completed paper Claim Form so that it is received no later than May 3, 2027.
