Background of the Lawsuit
On April 28, 2023, NextGen Healthcare announced it had detected a cyberattack in which unauthorized parties gained access to patient data. The class action alleges NextGen Healthcare failed to properly protect personal information, maintained inadequate data security, and violated state consumer protection statutes and other laws. Various lawsuits were consolidated into Miller v. NextGen Healthcare Inc., Case No. 1:23-cv-02043-TWT.
NextGen Healthcare denies all allegations. The parties did not litigate the claims to judgment. Instead, after mediation, both sides agreed to a settlement that avoids the costs and uncertainty of trial while providing faster benefits to class members. The Court approved the settlement on February 17, 2026.
