Open for claimsData breachYuma Regional Medical Center settlement: cash claims and automatic monitoring
Last updated:
Sources last checked:
Eligible Yuma Regional Medical Center class members may claim up to $4,000 for documented unreimbursed incident-related losses and a share of the remaining settlement money. Cash claims are due February 1, 2027. The actual pro rata amount depends on valid claims and deductions from the $1,985,000 fund.
The agreement separately provides automatic one-year medical data monitoring with $1 million in insurance coverage and no deductible. A cash claim is required for cash benefits. The broad notice language about receiving no benefits without action should not be read as cancelling the automatic monitoring provision.

Who qualifies
- The class definition covers all living individuals who were sent notice of the data incident. A general connection to Yuma or being a patient, by itself, does not establish class membership.
- Agreement section 1.38 excludes YRMC and its officers, directors and agents, and any entity which has a controlling interest; governmental entities; valid timely opt-outs; assigned judges, staff and immediate family; and people found criminally guilty of initiating, causing, aiding or abetting the data incident, or pleading no contest to such a charge. Consult the full agreement definition if an exclusion may apply.
How to request cash benefits
- 1
Review your notice and benefit choices
Visit the official settlement website and use its claim instructions or the printable claim form linked below. Cash Payment A is documented-loss reimbursement; Cash Payment B is a separate pro rata election. Eligible members may elect either or both.
- 2
Document losses for Cash Payment A
Request up to $4,000 for actual, unreimbursed losses caused by the incident and incurred April 21, 2022 through February 1, 2027. Provide third-party records such as bank statements or receipts; your own notes may supplement those records but are insufficient alone. Expenses already reimbursed by a third party cannot be claimed.
- 3
Elect Cash Payment B if desired
The remaining settlement fund is divided equally among qualifying claimants after settlement expenses and other benefits. No loss proof or explanation is required for this election, but the claim form still requires contact information, the election and a signed attestation under penalty of perjury. The amount is not guaranteed.

Submit by February 1, 2027
Submit online or email an electronic image of the completed claim form to info@YumaSettlement.com by February 1, 2027. Mailed claims, including supporting documentation, must be postmarked by that date and sent to Yuma Settlement, c/o Settlement Administrator, P.O. Box 1031, Baton Rouge, LA 70821. The reviewed documents do not state an exact filing time or timezone.
Why automatic monitoring is separate from the cash claim
Notice question 7 and the claim form describe automatic monitoring, while generic no-action language in the notice describes no benefits. Agreement section 3.4 expressly provides automatic medical data monitoring. This guide follows that specific provision and distinguishes it from Cash Payments A and B, which require a claim.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to file for medical monitoring?
Agreement section 3.4 expressly says all settlement class members automatically receive one year of Medical Data Monitoring with $1 million in insurance and no deductible. Cash Payments A and B require a claim. Ask the administrator about access or delivery of monitoring.
Does every claimant receive $4,000?
No. $4,000 is the limit for qualifying documented unreimbursed losses. Cash Payment B is an additional pro rata amount from money remaining after deductions and other benefits, so its amount depends on valid claims.
When will cash payments arrive?
The notice schedules a March 1, 2027 final approval hearing. Payments depend on approval and resolution of appeals; no individual payment date is established.
