Notice of MIE Data Breach Class Action Settlement
A Class Action Settlement has been proposed in litigation against Medical Informatics Engineering, Inc.

If you received a notice from MIE about the Data Breach or if your personal information was taken during the Data Breach, you are a "Settlement Class Member."
Under the Settlement, MIE has agreed to make changes to its business practices that will improve the security of the personal and health information stored on its computer systems. Defendants will also establish a $2.75 million Settlement Fund to pay for credit monitoring services to protect Settlement Class Members from future harm as well as for demonstrated Economic Losses. The Settlement Fund will also pay for the costs of the settlement administration and service awards for named Plaintiffs. MIE has agreed to pay an additional amount, up to $1 million, for court-approved attorneys’ fees and expenses. In exchange, Settlement Class Members will release any and all claims they may have against Defendants and every other person or entity (with certain limited exceptions) related to the Data Breach as described in the Notice.
Settlement Class Members May Act Now To Protect Themselves
From Possible Harm Resulting From The Data Breach

You may additionally provide documentation or proof to receive reimbursement of up to $4,000 in Economic Losses that you believe you suffered or are suffering because of the Data Breach.
If approved, the proposed Settlement will resolve the litigation entitled In re Medical Informatics Engineering, Inc., Customer Data Security Breach Litigation, Case No. 3:15-md-2667, before Judge Robert L. Miller, Jr. in the Northern District of Indiana. The Court must decide whether to finally approve the Settlement.
