A February 2024 ransomware attack on Change Healthcare, a UnitedHealth Group / Optum subsidiary that processes a large share of US medical claims, exposed the protected health and personal information of an estimated 190 million people - the largest healthcare data breach in US history - and disrupted pharmacy and claims processing nationwide. The class actions were consolidated into a federal MDL in the District of Minnesota. Eligibility is broad: most Americans who have used insurance-billed care may have had data handled by Change Healthcare.
