How to file this claim
- Check that you registered for electronic records access at Columbus Regional Health between November 1, 2017 and June 30, 2022. Just being a patient isn't enough — you needed to complete that registration.
- File your Claim Form online at https://columbusregionalsettlement.com/form/claim before September 19, 2026.
- For the free year of CyEx Shield identity protection, look for an enrollment code that was sent to you by email or U.S. mail. This is a separate process from filing a claim — you'll get instructions after the settlement is officially approved.
- The opt-out and objection windows closed June 22, 2026. The Final Approval Hearing is July 22, 2026 at 9:30 A.M.
- Questions? Call the settlement administrator at (833) 386-6568.
What the form asks
- Patient identity and registration period — Your information as a Columbus Regional patient who completed an electronic records registration between November 1, 2017 and June 30, 2022.
Documents you'll need
- Notice or enrollment code from Columbus Regional Health (mailed or emailed)
Watch out for
- The $25.50 cash payment and the CyEx Shield enrollment are two completely separate processes. Filing a claim only gets you the cash.
- The opt-out and objection deadlines (June 22, 2026) have passed. You're still fully eligible to file a claim for payment.
- Payment won't go out until after the court approves the settlement at the July 22, 2026 hearing.
- If you skip filing, you get nothing and give up your right to sue Columbus Regional over these privacy claims.
We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.
