Who Is Boone Health and Why Are They Being Sued Over Patient Privacy?

Boone Health runs Boone Hospital Center in Columbia, Missouri, along with the Boone Health Patient Portal patients use to check records and message their care team online. That portal sits behind a login, which is exactly why this case matters: plaintiffs say Boone Health’s public website used third-party tracking technology that sent information back out to other companies while patients were logged in. A hospital’s own website is where patients feel safest sharing details — that’s the trust this lawsuit says got tested.

What Did Boone Health Do to Patient Portal Users Between 2021 and 2022?

The lawsuit claims Boone Health’s use of third-party website technologies resulted in the transmission of certain patient information to outside companies. Boone Health denies doing anything wrong and says it settled to avoid the cost and uncertainty of a trial, not because it broke the law.

This isn’t an isolated complaint. Missouri hospital system BJC Health settled a nearly identical claim over tracking tools on its MyChart portal, and hospitals from Ohio to New York have reached similar settlements after being accused of routing patient portal activity to companies like Meta and Google. Boone Health’s own notice doesn’t name a specific vendor or tracking tool, so treat any claim about exactly which company received the data as unconfirmed until the settlement agreement says otherwise.

If you logged into that portal during the window in the notice, this case is about whether your activity there stayed private.

Who Qualifies for the Boone Health Patient Portal Settlement?

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

• Current or former Boone Health patients who logged into the Patient Portal at least once between April 1, 2021, and December 5, 2022
• Missouri residents during that qualifying period — residency is required, not just having been a patient
• Anyone who received a Notice by mail or email with a Settlement Class Member Login ID and Password
• Patients unsure if they qualify can email the administrator directly to verify their status and get login credentials

Who does not qualify:

• Boone Health employees, officers, directors, and their immediate families
• Anyone who already excluded themselves from the class
• Patients who never logged into the online portal, even if they were treated at Boone Hospital Center

Boone Health Patients Outside Missouri — Are You Still Covered?

No. This settlement class is limited to people who resided in Missouri during the qualifying period — it isn’t nationwide. If you used the Boone Health Patient Portal but lived out of state at the time, you’re not part of this class, even if you were treated at Boone Hospital Center on a visit.

Not sure if you qualify for the Boone Health patient portal settlement? A free consultation with a data privacy attorney can help before the November 9, 2026 deadline.

How Much Can Boone Health Settlement Class Members Get? $20 Per Valid Claim

This one’s simpler than most settlements: file a valid claim, and you get $20.00, flat. There’s no tiered payout and no pro-rata math to guess at — Boone Health has agreed to pay every approved claim rather than split a capped fund. Class Counsel can seek up to $800,000 in fees and costs, and the class representatives can seek up to $4,000 total in service awards, both subject to Court approval and paid separately by Boone Health.

That $20 isn’t the only benefit. Every class member — no claim form needed — automatically gets a code for one year of Privacy Shield Pro, a digital privacy monitoring and identity protection service. Payment goes out 60 days after final approval and any appeals wrap up, by check unless you choose PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle. Checks expire 60 days after they’re issued, so cash yours promptly once it arrives.

Twenty dollars won’t replace a stolen identity, but the privacy monitoring you get automatically is worth more than the check. Don’t skip signing up for it just because you filed for the cash.

What “No Pro-Rata” Means for Your Boone Health Check

Unlike most settlements where more claimants shrink everyone’s share, here your $20 doesn’t depend on how many other people file. Submit a valid claim, and you get the full amount regardless of turnout.

How to File Your Boone Health Settlement Claim — Step by Step

1. Find your Settlement Class Member Login ID and Password on the notice you received by mail or email
2. Go to the official claim portal at boonehealthsettlement.com/doe-v-boone-claim-form-login
3. Log in with your ID and password and select the $20 Cash Payment option
4. Choose how you want to be paid — check, PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle
5. Submit online, or mail a paper form to Boone Health Settlement, c/o Atticus Administration, PO Box 64053, St. Paul, MN 55164
6. Separately, watch for the Privacy Shield Pro enrollment email and use the code on your notice — that part doesn’t need a claim form

Filing online takes about 5 minutes if you have your login credentials handy. That’s a fast return for $20, and the deadline is November 9, 2026.

Should Boone Health Class Members Opt Out or Object Before October 9, 2026?

What Opting Out of the Boone Health Settlement Actually Means

Opting out means you get no cash payment and no Privacy Shield Pro enrollment, but you keep your right to sue Boone Health on your own over the same claims. Most people shouldn’t opt out of a $20-plus-monitoring deal without talking to a lawyer first, since building your own case costs far more than what you’d walk away from here. The opt-out deadline is October 9, 2026.

How to Object to the Boone Health Settlement

Objecting means you stay in the class, can still file for your $20, and tell the court in writing why you think the deal, or the attorneys’ fee request, falls short. Objections go to the Cole County Circuit Court Clerk’s Office in Jefferson City, Missouri, and copies must reach Class Counsel and Boone Health’s counsel, all postmarked no later than November 9, 2026.

Talk to a class action lawsuit attorney before October 9, 2026 if you’re weighing either option.

Boone Health Patient Portal Settlement — Frequently Asked Questions, No. 22AC-CC07646

Do I need a lawyer to file a Boone Health settlement claim?

 No. Filing takes about 5 minutes online using the login credentials from your notice. A data privacy attorney is worth a call only if you think your specific information was misused beyond what this settlement covers.

Is the Boone Health patient portal settlement legitimate?

 Yes. It’s a court-supervised settlement in Doe v. Boone Health, Inc., pending in the Circuit Court of Cole County, Missouri, administered by Atticus Administration. The court granted preliminary approval on August 10, 2026.

When will Boone Health settlement payments be sent? 

No fixed date. Payments go out 60 days after the December 1, 2026 Final Approval Hearing produces a final, non-appealable approval — appeals could push that further out.

What if I missed the Boone Health claim deadline?

 The notice doesn’t guarantee late claims will be accepted. File online by November 9, 2026 to be safe, and you can also still enroll in Privacy Shield Pro separately.

Will my Boone Health settlement payment go on a 1099? 

A $20 payment is unlikely to trigger a 1099, but rules vary by how you’re paid and your overall tax situation. Ask a tax professional if you’re unsure.

Do I have to submit a claim to get Privacy Shield Pro? 

No. Every Settlement Class Member automatically gets a code for one year of Privacy Shield Pro on their notice — that part doesn’t require filing anything.

What specific claims does Boone Health allegedly violate?

 The notice describes the claim in general terms — improper use of third-party website technology causing transmission of patient information to third parties — without naming a specific statute. Boone Health denies wrongdoing.
