DaVita agreed to a $15 million class action settlement to resolve claims it failed to prevent a 2025 ransomware attack that compromised patient information.
The DaVita settlement benefits individuals whose personal information was potentially accessed without authorization in the cyberattack in April 2025.
The DaVita data breach was a ransomware attack that compromised sensitive patient information, such as Social Security numbers, health insurance information, health conditions, treatment information and more. Plaintiffs in the DaVita data breach class action lawsuit claim DaVita could have prevented the attack through reasonable cybersecurity measures.
DaVita is an American health care company headquartered in Denver, Colorado, that specializes in kidney care and dialysis services.
DaVita has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $15 million class action settlement to resolve the allegations.
Under the terms of the DaVita settlement, class members can receive a pro rata cash payment currently estimated to be $50. Actual payments may be higher or lower depending on the number of claims filed with the settlement.
Class members who experienced documented out-of-pocket losses as a result of the DaVita ransomware attack can seek additional reimbursement of up to $2,500. Eligible losses include unreimbursed costs, expenses, losses or charges incurred as a result of identity theft, fraud, falsified tax returns, real estate title fraud, financial fraud, government benefits fraud or other misuse of personal information.
The settlement also provides three years of one-bureau credit monitoring. This service includes dark web monitoring, $1 million in identity theft insurance and fully managed identity recovery services.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is Dec. 21, 2026.
The final approval hearing for the DaVita class action settlement is scheduled for Feb. 18, 2027.
To receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by Jan. 19, 2027.
