Cone Health MyChart Settlement, Check If You Qualify — Singh v. The Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital Operating Corp., No. 1:24-cv-00558

If you logged into MyChart or filled out a form on Cone Health’s site between September 1, 2016, and November 3, 2022, you can likely file a Cone Health settlement claim.

Who Is Cone Health and Why Are They Being Sued for Data Tracking?

Cone Health operates Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital and other facilities across the Greensboro, North Carolina area, running both its public website and the MyChart patient portal patients use to message providers and view records. Because those digital tools sit directly on top of protected health information, any tracking code embedded in them touches far more sensitive data than a typical retail website would. That’s the exact position patient Ashika Singh’s lawsuit says put Cone Health’s users at risk.

What Did Cone Health Do to MyChart Users Between 2016 and 2022?

The lawsuit, filed July 8, 2024, in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, claims Cone Health added tracking technology — the kind commonly used for advertising analytics — to its website and MyChart portal. According to the complaint, that code captured identifiable data tied to patients’ health-related browsing and portal activity and sent it to Meta and Google without patients’ knowledge or authorization.

Cone Health denies doing anything wrong. It settled instead of continuing to litigate the claims. That’s normal — most companies that settle don’t admit fault. It doesn’t mean the underlying allegations weren’t real; it means both sides decided a negotiated payout beat years of court fights.

That’s $1,765,000 on the table because of what tracking code allegedly did with your data — and you don’t have to prove Cone Health broke the law to collect a share of it.

Who Qualifies for the Cone Health MyChart Settlement?

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

• Anyone who logged into Cone Health’s MyChart patient portal between September 1, 2016, and November 3, 2022
• Patients who filled out a form on Cone Health’s website during that same window
• People who received a settlement notice by mail or email from the administrator
• Family members with their own separate MyChart account may also qualify individually

Not included: Cone Health employees, judges assigned to the case, and anyone who properly excludes themselves from the class.

How Much Can Cone Health MyChart Settlement Class Members Get?

There’s no flat per-person number yet, and that’s worth being straight about. After attorneys’ fees, a service award, and administration costs come out of the $1,765,000 fund, what’s left gets divided equally among everyone who filed a valid, timely claim — a pro-rata split. More people filing means a smaller check for each person; fewer claims mean a bigger one. Payment method and timing depend on the administrator’s process after final approval. Payments over $600 may appear on a 1099 — check with a tax professional.

The attorneys are asking for up to $613,333.33 in fees and costs, plus a $5,000 service award for Ashika Singh, the class representative who brought the case. Honestly, that’s more than a third of the fund before any patient sees a dollar — but it’s standard in cases like this, and it still leaves over $1.1 million to split among claimants.

Should Cone Health Class Members Opt Out or Object Before October 5, 2026?

What Opting Out of the Cone Health Settlement Actually Means

The opt-out deadline is October 5, 2026, and requests must be mailed to the settlement administrator in Santa Ana, California.

How to Object to the Cone Health Settlement

Objecting means you stay in the class but tell the court you disagree with some part of the deal. Objections must be filed with the Clerk of Court at 324 W. Market Street, Greensboro, NC 27401, with copies sent to class counsel and Cone Health’s counsel, by October 5, 2026.
