Esse Health data breach
If Esse Health had your records when hackers broke in during April 2025, you're covered by this settlement. You automatically get identity protection services, but to receive any cash you must file a claim by August 4, 2026. A Missouri court still needs to give final approval.
Payment amount set by the settlement administrator
All covered people get automatic enrollment in medical identity protection services. Cash payments are also available, but only if you file a claim form. The settlement documents don't state a specific dollar amount per person.

Who may qualify
Anyone whose personal or health information was in Esse Health's records and was potentially exposed in the April 2025 cyberattack. If Esse Health mailed you a notice, you're likely in.
