How hard is this claim to file?
The administrator's case page exists but all key date and filing fields are unpopulated, leaving no concrete filing instructions to extract. You can file on the official site.
Watch out for
- The claim deadline field on the administrator's site shows as unpopulated — don't assume there's no deadline; it may simply not have been published yet.
- Class period dates are also unpopulated, so you can't currently confirm which time frame the settlement covers.
- Check back at the case website regularly so you don't miss the window if and when it opens.
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.

You'll need the Claim ID from your notice
The official claim form asks for the Claim ID (or Notice ID) the settlement mailed or emailed to the people it identified. Didn't get one? Here's how to get it:
- Check your email (including spam) and any mail from around when the settlement was announced — the Claim ID is usually printed right on the notice.
- Still can't find it? Contact the settlement administrator (CPT GROUP), tell them you believe you're a class member (for example, a customer or patient in the covered period), and ask them to look you up and send your Claim ID.
