Indegene TCPA Junk Fax Settlement

Only offices on the court fax list qualify. This settlement is about ONE fax sent on or about February 7, 2020 to roughly 18,869 fax numbers, and your number has to be on that discovery list — you cannot add yourself to it. The Indegene TCPA Junk Fax Settlement resolves Progressive Health and Rehab Corp. v. Indegene, Inc., et al., No. 1:20-cv-10106-ESK-AMD, in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, Camden Vicinage. The suit alleges that Indegene, Inc., Indegene Encima, Inc., Indegene Wincere, Incorporated and Indegene Healthcare, LLC sent a fax advertisement without the recipients' prior express invitation or permission, in violation of the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. section 227. Defendants deny the allegations and deny any wrongdoing, and the settlement is not a finding that any law was broken. Four things decide whether this page is worth your time. First, this is not a consumer settlement. The fax was titled “Medical Record Review of the Impact of Adverse Events Associated with the Use of Current anti-Parkinson's Disease Medications on Patient Clinical Therapeutics and Outcomes Trajectories in the U.S.” and offered an honorarium of $250 per eligible patient — a research solicitation aimed at physician practices and other health care offices. If you did not own or control a business fax number in February 2020, there is nothing here for you, however many junk faxes you remember receiving. Second, membership turns on the fax number, not on you and not on whether anyone read the fax. The court-authorized Notice says that to be deemed a member of the Settlement Class, the facsimile number you list on the Claim Form must include a number that was deemed to have received a successful facsimile from Defendants. Third, plan on $250 as one check, not $250 for every fax line you own. The Notice says a valid claimant “will be mailed a check for $250.00.” The Settlement Agreement is self-contradictory on this point: paragraph 11 caps a class member at “a total of $250.00” and validates “only one claim per fax number,” while paragraph 16 says each valid claimant receives “$250.00 per fax.” The court's own preliminary approval order adopts the per-member phrasing, “up to $250.00.” Nothing in the public record resolves it, so a multi-line office should not bank on $250 multiplied by its number of fax lines. Fourth, Indegene keeps whatever is not claimed. This is a claims-made settlement with a reversion. The $4,717,250 is a ceiling, not a pot of money sitting in an account: Defendant is not required to place any of it in a separate bank account and does not relinquish control until payments are due, and unclaimed amounts, invalid-claim amounts and the proceeds of checks nobody cashes all revert to Indegene rather than going to a charity.

Do I Qualify?

You may be eligible if:

• YOUR FAX NUMBER MUST BE ON THE COURT'S LIST. The class certified on July 17, 2025 and preliminarily approved on August 27, 2026 is: all persons or entities who were successfully sent a Fax, on or about February 7, 2020, that states “Medical Record Review of the Impact of Adverse Events Associated with the Use of Current anti-Parkinson's Disease Medications on Patient Clinical Therapeutics and Outcomes Trajectories in the U.S.” and offers an honorarium of $250 per eligible patient. The Settlement Agreement recites that the class is the owners of the fax numbers successfully sent approximately 18,869 allegedly advertising faxes that day, a list built in discovery. The administrator sent notice to that list by fax, with mailed notice as a fallback
• AT LEAST ONE NUMBER YOU LIST MUST HAVE BEEN SENT THE FAX SUCCESSFULLY. The Notice is explicit: “In order to be deemed a member of the Settlement Class, the facsimile number(s) you list on the Claim Form must include a facsimile number that was deemed to have received a successful facsimile from Defendants.” Remembering the fax is not the test, and neither is having had a fax line in 2020. The administrator checks your number against the list
• YOU MUST HAVE OWNED THAT NUMBER IN FEBRUARY 2020 — AND THE CLAIM FORM'S SECOND OPTION IS A TRAP WORTH UNDERSTANDING. Settlement Agreement paragraph 11 requires a Claim Form carrying “a certification under penalty of perjury that the claimant had or owned their fax number in February 2020.” The Proof of Claim offers two signature blocks: option (a) certifies the number was yours or your company's during February 2020; option (b) states it was NOT, and asks you to explain when you obtained it. If you bought the practice or inherited the fax line after February 2020, signing option (b) is a sworn statement that you are not the February 2020 owner — the person paragraph 11 describes. The documents never say how the administrator treats an option (b) claim, so do not assume it gets you paid
• ONLY ONE CLAIM PER FAX NUMBER IS VALIDATED. Settlement Agreement paragraph 11 says so outright: “Only one claim per fax number will be validated and, if valid, approved.” If two people at the same office each file on the same number, one of those claims goes nowhere
• WHO IS EXCLUDED. Defendants, any parent, subsidiary, affiliate or controlled person of Defendants, the officers, directors, members, managers, agents, servants and employees of Defendants, the immediate family members of those people, and the Court and its officers
• THERE IS NO STATE TEST. The class definition contains no residency requirement and no state subclasses. The case sits in New Jersey because that is where it was filed, not because the class is limited to New Jersey businesses. A qualifying fax number in any state counts the same

No receipts or documents — but every route needs a signature under penalty of perjury, and the online route is gated by a Claim Number and PIN you cannot look up. Take the two routes separately, because they have different requirements and most coverage mentions only the first. What you never need: nothing documentary. No fax logs, no phone bills, no copy of the fax itself, and nothing evidencing that anyone at your office ever saw it. What the online portal demands: the Claim Number and PIN printed on the notice the administrator faxed or mailed to your fax number. The portal at progressiveindegene.claims-administrator.com opens with that login. You cannot derive these or look them up anywhere on the settlement website, so if no notice reached you the online route is closed. What the paper form demands — and this is the part worth knowing: the Proof of Claim is not credential-gated. It is attached as the last page of the court-authorized Notice and posted on the Important Case Documents page of the settlement website, and it asks only for your name, company, address, phone, email and every fax number you want counted. There is no field for a Claim Number or a PIN. So a class member who never received notice still has a live route in by fax or mail. What you must swear to: the form has you sign one of two statements. Option (a): “The fax number(s) identified above or attached to this Proof of Claim was/were mine or my company's during February, 2020,” certified under penalty of perjury. Option (b) is the opposite statement, for someone who did not own the number then, and asks when they obtained it. Settlement Agreement paragraph 11 describes the required certification as the option (a) one, so treat option (b) as unresolved rather than as a second way to qualify. And the administrator can ask for more: all Claim Forms are reviewed for completeness and plausibility, additional information may be requested from any claimant, and a claim that does not supply it in the time required is considered invalid and will not be paid.

What Happened?

Progressive Health and Rehab Corp., a health care business, filed this class action on August 6, 2020 in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, Camden Vicinage, as No. 1:20-cv-10106-ESK-AMD. The complaint alleges that Indegene, Inc. and three affiliated companies — Indegene Encima, Inc., Indegene Wincere, Incorporated and Indegene Healthcare, LLC — sent advertisements by fax without the recipients' prior express invitation or permission and without a valid opt-out notice, in violation of the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act. Defendants denied the allegations and raised affirmative defenses. Indegene, Inc. has represented and warranted that Indegene Encima and Indegene Wincere were merged into Indegene, Inc. and that Indegene Healthcare, LLC was dissolved, so those three no longer exist as separate legal entities

THE FAX. The single transmission at the center of the case went out on or about February 7, 2020. It was titled “Medical Record Review of the Impact of Adverse Events Associated with the Use of Current anti-Parkinson's Disease Medications on Patient Clinical Therapeutics and Outcomes Trajectories in the U.S.” and offered an honorarium of $250 per eligible patient — a paid medical-record-review solicitation. Discovery established that approximately 18,869 of those faxes were successfully sent. The settlement releases claims about the February 7, 2020 faxes only; under the agreement, class members do not release claims about any other fax advertisement Indegene may have sent

THE CASE WENT FURTHER THAN MOST JUNK FAX SUITS BEFORE IT SETTLED. The court certified the class on July 17, 2025 over Indegene's opposition, and Indegene then petitioned the Court of Appeals under Rule 23(f) for permission to challenge that ruling. The parties reached agreement through an independent third-party mediator after extensive written and oral discovery, contested class certification briefing and that petition. The Settlement Agreement was fully executed in August 2026 and the court granted preliminary approval on August 27, 2026 (Document 167). The final fairness hearing is set for January 12, 2027 at 10:00 a.m. in Room 4D, Mitchell H. Cohen Building, 4th and Cooper Streets, Camden, New Jersey 08101. No final approval order has been entered and no payment date has been announced

WHERE THE MONEY GOES BEFORE IT GETS TO CLAIMANTS. Class Counsel, Anderson + Wanca of Rolling Meadows, Illinois, will ask the court for 35% of the Settlement Fund in fees and costs — $1,651,037.50 — plus notice and administration expenses, and a $15,000 incentive award for Progressive Health and Rehab Corp. as class representative. All of that is paid from the same $4,717,250 ceiling that funds the claims. The administration cost has not been disclosed

THE SETTLEMENT CAN STILL COME APART. Defendant has the unilateral right to void or rescind the settlement if 80 or more individuals or entities opt out, and either side may rescind if the court materially modifies the agreement or sustains an objection. That right must be exercised no later than 30 days before the final approval hearing. The administrator is Analytics Consulting LLC of Chanhassen, Minnesota

How to File Your Claim

1. CHECK THE FAX NUMBER BEFORE YOU SPEND TIME ON THIS. The only people who can be paid are the owners of fax numbers on the discovery list of roughly 18,869 numbers that were deemed to have been successfully sent Indegene's February 7, 2020 fax. The administrator faxed or mailed notice to that list. If you had no business fax number in February 2020, you are not in this class
2. FILE ONLINE at the official court-authorized settlement website, www.IndegeneTCPASettlement.com, run by the administrator Analytics Consulting LLC. Its File Claim button opens the claim portal at progressiveindegene.claims-administrator.com, which starts with a login asking for the Claim Number and PIN printed on the notice sent to your fax number
3. NO NOTICE? USE THE PAPER FORM, WHICH IS NOT CREDENTIAL-GATED. The Proof of Claim is attached as the last page of the Notice and posted on the Important Case Documents page of the settlement website. Complete it in full with your name, company, contact details and every fax number you want counted, then sign the certification under penalty of perjury that the number was yours or your company's during February 2020
4. SEND THE PAPER FORM by fax to 952-997-0136, or by mail to Progressive v Indegene, Inc., c/o Analytics Consulting LLC, PO Box 2007, Chanhassen, MN 55317-2007. The form may also be submitted electronically at the settlement website
5. DEADLINE: DECEMBER 9, 2026. The Claim Form must be submitted online, faxed, or postmarked on or before that date. The Notice gives a date only and names no time of day and no timezone, so do not leave it to the last day
6. EXPECT A PLAUSIBILITY REVIEW. All Claim Forms are reviewed by the Settlement Administrator for completeness and plausibility, and additional information may be requested from any claimant. A claim that does not supply the requested information in the time required is considered invalid and will not be paid. The administrator's decision on validity is binding on the parties, subject to court approval
7. DECEMBER 9, 2026 IS ALSO THE OPT-OUT AND OBJECTION DEADLINE, AND THE OPT-OUT GOES TO THE WRONG-LOOKING ADDRESS. Exclusion requests in this case are sent to Class Counsel, not to the administrator: Wallace C. Solberg, Anderson + Wanca, 3701 Algonquin Road Ste 500, Rolling Meadows IL 60008, with a copy to Defendants' attorney Justin Penn, Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP, 151 North Franklin Street Ste 2500, Chicago IL 60606. They inform the court. Objections go to the Clerk of the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey in Camden, must be served on both sides' lawyers, and an objector who wants the court to consider the objection must also appear at the January 12, 2027 hearing
8. QUESTIONS, LOST CREDENTIALS AND ADDRESS CHANGES go through the settlement website's contact page, by email to IndegeneTCPASettlement@noticeadministrator.com, or by mail to the Chanhassen address above. Class Counsel can also be reached at 1-855-827-2329. Filing is free and you will not have to pay Class Counsel anything

How Much Will I Actually Get?

$250 PER VALID CLAIM, PAID BY CHECK. The court-authorized Notice says that if the court approves the settlement, all Class members who submit a valid and timely Proof of Claim “will be mailed a check for $250.00.” There is one benefit and one route to it. Nothing here is a voucher, a credit or a tier you pick from. THE DOCUMENTS DISAGREE ABOUT WHETHER EXTRA FAX LINES MULTIPLY THE $250, AND THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT UNRESOLVED FACT ON THIS PAGE. Settlement Agreement paragraph 16 reads: each member of the Class who submits a timely and valid Proof of Claim “shall receive $250.00 per fax.” But paragraph 11 of the same agreement says each valid claimant is paid “his or her pro rata share of the Settlement Fund, up to a total of $250.00,” and adds that “only one claim per fax number will be validated.” The court's preliminary approval order uses the per-member wording — “each class member who submits a timely and valid Claim Form shall be paid up to $250.00” — and so does the administrator's own FAQ. Three of the four documents point to one $250 check per class member. The Claim Form still invites you to list all of your fax numbers, so list them, but a practice with several qualifying lines should not plan on $250 for each one. THE $250 CAN BE CUT. If the total of validated claims, after attorneys' fees, expenses, the $15,000 incentive award and the administrator's costs, would exceed the Settlement Fund, then every validated claimant instead receives an equal pro rata share of what is left. The $250 is a ceiling, not a floor. THE $4,717,250 IS A CEILING WITH A REVERSION, NOT A POT BEING DIVIDED UP. Defendant is not required to place all or any portion of the Settlement Fund into a separate account and will not relinquish control of any money until payments are due, and it “shall keep all money in the Settlement Fund that is not required to be paid under this Agreement.” Unclaimed, unpaid and invalid-claim amounts revert to and remain the sole property of Indegene and “shall not be paid as a cy pres award or to any third party.” Every fax number that does not file is money Indegene keeps. FEES AND THE INCENTIVE AWARD COME OUT OF THE SAME CEILING. Class Counsel will request 35% of the fund ($1,651,037.50) plus notice and administrative fees, and $15,000 for the class representative. The $4,717,250 works out to exactly $250 for each of the roughly 18,869 faxes, so the fund cannot pay every class member $250 and the fees too. CHECKS GO VOID 120 DAYS AFTER ISSUANCE and must say so on their face, and that money reverts to Indegene as well. Deposit the check promptly, and update your address with the administrator if it changes after you file. NOTHING IS PAID YET. Preliminary approval is not final approval. The fairness hearing is January 12, 2027, and Defendant pays the administrator within 15 business days of the Effective Date, which comes after final approval becomes unappealable.
