What happened
The lawsuit alleges unauthorized access to OBHC's systems and files with patients' personal information, including names, Social Security numbers, medical, treatment, diagnosis and health insurance information. OBHC discovered the Data Incident in May 2024.
The defendant denies any wrongdoing. No court has decided who is right.
How to file a claim
1. Confirm you are eligible
You are a Settlement Class Member if OBHC mailed you written notice that your Private Information was potentially compromised in the Data Incident it discovered in May 2024.
2. Gather what you need
Ordinary Losses (up to $300) and Extraordinary Losses (up to $5,000): proof such as bank statements showing how much you spent, lost or were not reimbursed; your own notes alone are not enough. Extraordinary Losses also need proof the loss was probably caused by the Data Incident and that you tried to prevent or recover it (e.g., using insurance). The $50 Alternative Cash Payment needs no proof.
3. Choose your benefits
Documented Ordinary Losses (Out-of-Pocket Expenses): Up to $300 (proof required). Documented Extraordinary Losses: Up to $5,000 (proof required). Alternative Cash Payment (instead of credit monitoring): $50. Credit Monitoring (CyEx Medical Shield Complete): Two years of credit monitoring.
4. File online or by mail
File a Claim Form online by December 1, 2026 using the Unique ID and PIN on your Notice. Or download a Claim Form and mail it with supporting documents, postmarked by December 1, 2026. Open the claim form.

Where the money is going
This is a claims-made settlement: there is no fixed settlement fund, and OBHC pays each valid claim directly. OBHC also pays notice and administration costs, attorneys' fees, costs and expenses (up to $200,000), and the class representative's service award (up to $5,000) separately from class members' benefits. Because there is no common fund, the payments are not reduced pro rata and no leftover money is redistributed.
All amounts listed above are pending and subject to final court approval at the Fairness Hearing. The Court may award less than the amounts requested. Costs of OBHC's information security improvements are paid by OBHC separate and apart from the other Settlement Benefits.
Common questions
How much can I get?
Settlement Class Members who submit a valid claim may receive reimbursement of up to $300.00 for documented out-of-pocket expenses (Ordinary Losses) and up to $5,000.00 for documented extraordinary losses, and may also elect either two years of CyEx Medical Shield Complete credit monitoring or a $50 Alternative Cash Payment.
Do I need proof?
If you claim Documented Ordinary Losses and/or Documented Extraordinary Losses, you must submit proof such as bank statements, and notes or papers you made yourself are not enough alone to make a valid claim. You do not have to provide any proof or explanation to claim the $50.00 Alternative Cash Payment.
What is the deadline to file a claim?
Claim Forms must be submitted online by December 1, 2026, or, if mailed, postmarked no later than December 1, 2026.
What if I did not receive a Notice?
To start the online claim form, you must log in with the Unique ID and PIN found on the Notice that was sent to you. The site says you may also download a Claim Form and submit it, with any supporting documentation, by U.S. mail to the Settlement Administrator, and if you are not sure whether you are included, you can call (833) 386-6599 or write to info@OkanoganDataSettlement.com.
