Who Is ApolloMD and Why Are They Being Sued Over a Data Breach?

ApolloMD is an Atlanta-based, physician-owned staffing group that runs emergency medicine and hospital medicine departments for more than 125 practices across 18 states. That scale is exactly the problem — a single point of failure in ApolloMD’s own systems exposed patient records collected across dozens of hospitals it never treats patients at directly. The lawsuit claims ApolloMD didn’t do enough to keep those records safe.

What Did ApolloMD Do to Patients Between May 22 and May 23, 2025?

An unauthorized party accessed ApolloMD’s systems over roughly 24 hours in May 2025, pulling files tied to patients treated by ApolloMD-affiliated physicians and practices. The exposed data reportedly included names, addresses, dates of birth, diagnostic details, provider names, dates of service, treatment information, health insurance details, and — for some patients — Social Security numbers.

ApolloMD denies doing anything wrong and maintains it complied with its obligations. It agreed to settle to avoid the cost and uncertainty of continued litigation. You can read more about how healthcare data breach cases like this one typically shake out on our Veradigm $10.5M data breach settlement page.

That’s over 626,000 patients whose diagnosis history and treatment records were sitting in someone else’s hands, even if they never set foot in an ApolloMD-run department themselves.

Who Qualifies for the ApolloMD Data Breach Settlement?

Here’s exactly how to know if this case includes you.

• Anyone in the United States who received a notice that their private information may have been affected by the May 2025 Data Incident
• You don’t need to have been treated directly by ApolloMD — patients of its affiliated physicians and practices are covered
• The Settlement Class notice went out to approximately 662,000 individuals, per court filings

Excluded from the class are the presiding judge and their immediate family, ApolloMD’s own officers and directors, and anyone who validly excludes themselves.

How Much Can ApolloMD Data Breach Settlement Class Members Get? Up to $5,000 Per Person

You choose one of two cash options, plus everyone can also claim a year of monitoring:

ApolloMD Payout With Proof — Up to $5,000

If you have third-party documentation — bank statements, credit monitoring invoices, police reports — showing losses tied to the breach, you can claim up to $5,000. Self-written statements alone don’t count.

ApolloMD Payout Without Proof — About $75

If you don’t have documentation, you can still claim an estimated $75 flat cash payment. That’s meaningfully higher than the roughly $50 no-proof baseline you’ll see in most comparable healthcare breach settlements, like our Absolute Dental $3.3M settlement coverage.

What Pro-Rata Means for Your ApolloMD Check

Both payment tiers can move up or down depending on how many people file valid claims. More filers means smaller checks for everyone. Payments over $600 may appear on a 1099. Check with a tax professional.
