Signature Performance $8.5M Data Breach Settlement, Claim Up To $5,000 By May 7, 2026
If you received a data breach notification from Signature Performance, Adventist Health, or UNC Health Southeastern about a January 2024 cybersecurity incident, you can claim up to $5,000 plus three years of medical data monitoring from an $8.5 million class action settlement. The deadline to file is May 7, 2026.
Over 106,000 patients and employees had their Social Security numbers, medical records, and personal health information exposed when hackers infiltrated Signature Performance’s systems in January 2024. Now there’s money on the table—but only if you act before the May 7 deadline.
What Happened In The Signature Performance Data Breach
Between January 2024, unauthorized attackers gained access to Signature Performance Inc.’s computer network, compromising sensitive data belonging to patients of their healthcare clients.
The exposed information included names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, medical records, health insurance information, and patient account numbers. Signature Performance discovered the breach and began notifying affected individuals through their healthcare providers.
The company provides billing and revenue cycle management services to healthcare facilities including Adventist Health Tulare, Adventist Health System/West, and UNC Health Southeastern. When their systems were breached, patient data from all these facilities was compromised.
The $8.5 Million Settlement Explained
Signature Performance agreed to pay $8.5 million to settle the class action lawsuit Curtis McClean, et al. v. Signature Performance Inc. (Case No. STK-CV-UBT-0016713). The lawsuit alleged the company failed to implement adequate cybersecurity safeguards despite storing highly sensitive patient data.
After deducting attorneys’ fees (up to $2,975,000), settlement administration costs, and service awards to class representatives (up to $5,000 each), the remaining funds will be distributed to class members.
Similar to recent settlements like the Nelnet Class Action Lawsuit, Data Breach Details, Eligibility, And Claim Deadlines For 2026, this case highlights how third-party healthcare service providers can be held liable for data security failures.
Who Is Eligible To File A Claim
You qualify if you meet both requirements:
1. You reside in the United States
2. You received a notification letter from Signature Performance Inc., Adventist Health Tulare and Adventist Health System/West, or Southeastern Regional Medical Center d/b/a UNC Health Southeastern stating the January 2024 data breach potentially compromised your private information.
The settlement covers both patients who received care and employees whose data was stored in Signature Performance’s systems.
How Much Money Can You Get
The settlement offers multiple payment options:
Documented Loss Payment (Cash Payment A): Up to $5,000 per person for unreimbursed expenses directly caused by the data breach. You must provide third-party documentation like receipts, bank statements, or invoices showing costs for credit monitoring services, identity theft protection, fraudulent charges, late fees, professional fees to resolve identity theft, or costs related to freezing your credit.
Undocumented Cash Payment (Cash Payment B): Estimated $200 for class members without documentation of losses. No receipts required—just submit the claim form.
California Statutory Payment: An additional estimated $200 for California residents at the time of the breach. This is in addition to either Cash Payment A or Cash Payment B.
Medical Data Monitoring: All class members can elect three years of medical data monitoring including single-bureau credit monitoring, medical identity monitoring, real-time alerts, and up to $1,000,000 in identity theft insurance.
Just like the $4M Numotion Data Breach Data Breach Class Action Settlement Claim Up To $15,000 By March 18, 2026, documented losses receive priority for reimbursement.

What You Need To Know Before Filing
The settlement is nonreversionary. After paying all valid claims, any remaining funds go to an approved cy pres recipient (a nonprofit organization). This means every dollar gets distributed—none goes back to Signature Performance.
California residents get extra compensation. If you lived in California when the breach happened, you automatically qualify for an additional $200 statutory payment on top of your regular cash payment.
Medical monitoring is valuable. Three years of medical data monitoring with $1 million in identity theft insurance is worth approximately $300-500 if purchased separately. Even if you claim cash, consider selecting this benefit.
All payments are subject to pro rata adjustment. If the total valid claims exceed the available settlement fund after costs and fees, your payment amount will be reduced proportionally based on how many people file claims.
What Settlement Class Members Should Know
Healthcare data breaches are particularly dangerous because medical information sells for 50 times more than credit card data on the black market. Your Social Security number combined with medical records can be used to file fraudulent insurance claims, obtain prescription medications, or create fake medical identities.
Watch for these warning signs after a data breach:
Medical bills for services you didn’t receive, explanation of benefits (EOB) statements for treatments you never had, calls from debt collectors about medical debts you don’t owe, or denial of insurance coverage because your records show conditions you don’t have.
Common Misconceptions About The Settlement
Myth: You need to prove identity theft occurred to get paid.
Reality: Cash Payment B and California statutory payments require no proof of harm—just submit the claim form.
Myth: The settlement only covers medical expenses.
Reality: Documented losses include any unreimbursed costs caused by the breach, including bank fees, credit monitoring, professional services, and time spent resolving issues.
Myth: You can’t file if you already enrolled in free credit monitoring offered after the breach.
Reality: You can still claim settlement benefits even if you accepted initial breach response services.
