What Happened?

Esse Health, a primary care medical group based in Missouri, suffered a data breach that exposed the personal and medical information of thousands of patients. The breach exposed names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, medical record numbers, health insurance information, and clinical information including diagnoses and treatment details.

Healthcare data breaches are particularly serious because the exposed information can be used for medical identity theft — where criminals use stolen health information to obtain medical services or prescription drugs in victims' names. Esse Health agreed to settle the class action brought by affected patients.

How Much Will I Actually Get?

Eligible patients can receive approximately $50 cash with no documentation required, plus two years of free credit monitoring. If you have documented out-of-pocket losses caused by the breach, you can claim significantly more. The deadline is August 4, 2026.
