NextGen Healthcare Class Action Settlement: 18 Days Left to File a Claim

Why This Settlement Exists

In April 2023, hackers broke into NextGen Healthcare’s systems and accessed patient data. The breach was announced on April 28, 2023, and the fallout was swift: multiple lawsuits accused the electronic health records company of failing to adequately protect the sensitive personal information it held.

Those cases were consolidated into Miller v.

NextGen Healthcare Inc., Case No. 1:23-cv-02043-TWT, filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia (Atlanta Division). The class action alleges NextGen Healthcare maintained inadequate data security, failed to properly protect personal information, and violated state consumer protection statutes and other laws.

NextGen Healthcare denies all allegations. Rather than take the case to trial, both sides reached an agreement through mediation. The Court approved the settlement on February 17, 2026.

The total settlement fund is $19,375,000. You can review case documents on the official settlement page.

Are You Eligible?

Settlement eligibility is based on these criteria:

• You were identified by NextGen Healthcare as a person whose private information may have been impacted by the data breach announced on April 28, 2023
• You received mailed notice of the proposed settlement

The settlement covers patients and others across the country. There are no geographic restrictions: it is open nationwide.

To claim out-of-pocket losses, you’ll need reasonable documentation tracing those costs back to the breach. Acceptable records include credit card statements, bank statements, invoices, receipts, or telephone records showing losses from fraud, identity theft, credit monitoring, or similar expenses.

If you’re unsure whether you qualify, the official settlement page has the full eligibility details.

Claim Filing Deadline

The deadline to file a claim is March 30, 2026. About 18 days remain in the filing window.

Settlement Payment Amounts

The $19,375,000 settlement fund will be distributed among everyone who submits a valid claim. Estimated payouts range from $50 to $150 per person, depending on the total number of claims filed.

As with most class action settlements, the exact amount each person receives won’t be calculated until after the claim deadline passes and all submissions are reviewed.

The NextGen Healthcare settlement page has complete payout details, including how different claim types are valued.

Important Legal Context

Class action claim forms generally include a signed declaration that the information submitted is truthful and accurate (Filing a Class Action Claim: What Proof Is Required?). Review the claim form carefully, as each settlement has its own specific certification language.

Most class action settlements are subject to court approval (Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23). Until a judge grants final approval, the terms described here are based on the proposed settlement agreement and could be modified.

Payment timelines for class action settlements vary, but most claimants receive their checks 6 to 12 months after the deadline. Delays can occur if objections are filed or if the court requires additional review.
