YOU HAVE RIGHTS UNDER THE PROPOSED CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT IF YOU ARE A MEMBER OF THE FOLLOWING GROUP:

All patients, patient designees, and patient representatives that requested medical records from a Pennsylvania healthcare provider or facility in connection with patients’ applications for life and/or health insurance, referred to by HealthPort as “underwriting” requests, and who paid to HealthPort an amount in excess of the maximum basic, search and retrieval, and/or reproduction fees as set forth in 42 Pa.C.S. § 6152(a)(2)(i) of the Pennsylvania Medical Records Act and who were not charged in accordance with an agreed-upon rate, during the period of December 17, 2009 through July 23, 2026.
