Who Is FMC Services and Why Are They Facing a Data Breach Lawsuit?

FMC Services, LLC is a healthcare services company based in Amarillo, Texas that operates a network of primary care medical clinics under the name Family Medicine Centers throughout Texas, including locations such as FMC of Canyon, FMC of Coulter, FMC of Georgia, FMC 34th & Coulter, and CareXpress Urgent Care. The company comprises 15 healthcare organizations and 75 trained providers, serving patients across the Greater Amarillo and Canyon area. Because FMC stored sensitive patient health records — including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and protected health information — a cyberattack on their systems put nearly a quarter million patients at risk of identity theft and medical fraud.

What Did FMC Services Do to Patients Between July and September 2022?

FMC discovered suspicious network activity on July 26, 2022, and stopped the incident the same day. The breach potentially impacted names, mailing addresses, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and protected health information.

During its investigation, Family Medicine Centers determined that an unauthorized actor may have accessed this sensitive information by launching a ransomware attack. On September 23, 2022, Family Medicine Centers began notifying individuals whose information may have been impacted. That is nearly two months after the attack was discovered — a delay plaintiffs argue left patients exposed to identity theft and fraud without warning.

Plaintiffs brought this lawsuit alleging claims of negligence, negligence per se, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of implied contract, and unjust enrichment. The complaint argues FMC should have had stronger cybersecurity protections in place, particularly given well-known risks to healthcare providers.

For context on how courts handle similar cases involving delayed breach notifications, the Gryphon Healthcare $2.8M data breach settlement followed the exact same pattern — a healthcare company, a ransomware attack, and a months-long delay before patients were told. You can also review how healthcare data breach class actions work and what patients can recover to understand your rights more fully.

FMC Services denies that any information was actually acquired. The settlement resolves the lawsuit without any finding of wrongdoing.

If you were an FMC patient or received care at any Family Medicine Centers location before September 2022, this case may directly affect you.

Are You Part of the FMC Services Data Breach Class Action?

Here is exactly how to know whether this settlement covers you.

You likely qualify if:

• Your personally identifiable information or personal health information was compromised in the July 26, 2022 data incident
• You received a data breach notification letter from FMC Services around September 23, 2022
• Anyone whose name, mailing address, date of birth, Social Security number, or medical information was stored on FMC’s systems at the time of the attack

You do NOT qualify if:

• You are a director, officer, or agent of FMC Services or its affiliated companies
• You are a government entity
• You are the judge assigned to this action, their immediate family, or court staff

FMC Services Patients Outside Texas — Are You Still Covered?

Yes. This is a state court class action filed in Potter County, Texas, but the class definition is not limited by state residency. The Settlement Class means all persons whose personally identifiable information or personal health information was compromised in the Data Incident by unauthorized persons, including all persons who were sent notice of the Data Incident. If you received a breach notice from FMC Services, you are covered regardless of where you currently live.

If you are unsure whether you qualify for the FMC Services data breach settlement, a free consultation with a data privacy attorney can help you assess your situation before the August 31, 2026 deadline.

How Much Can FMC Services Data Breach Settlement Class Members Recover? Up to $5,000 Per Person

You have two cash payment options. You choose one when you file your claim.

Cash Payment A — Documented Losses (up to $5,000)

All Settlement Class Members may submit a claim for a cash payment for up to $5,000 per Settlement Class Member upon presentment of reasonable documented losses related to the Data Incident. You must attest under penalty of perjury to having incurred documented losses and submit documentation contemporaneously generated or prepared by a third party — such as telephone records, correspondence including emails, letters, or receipts. Personal declarations or affidavits alone are not enough.

Cash Payment B — No-Proof Cash (~$75)

As an alternative to Cash Payment A, you may elect to receive Cash Payment B, which is an alternative cash payment in the estimated amount of $75.00, but the amount will depend on the funds remaining in the Settlement Fund after all other payments are made.

Medical or Minor Data Monitoring — 2 Years Free

In addition to either cash payment, adult class members may also claim two years of CyEx’s medical data monitoring product, which includes real time monitoring of the credit file with one credit bureau, dark web scanning with immediate notification of potential unauthorized use, security freezing assistance, victim assistance, $1,000,000 in identity theft insurance with no deductible, and access to fraud resolution agents. Minor class members can claim a separate minor monitoring product instead.

All payouts are subject to pro-rata adjustment. That means if more people file claims than expected, the $75 Cash Payment B could be lower. Always say “up to $5,000” — the final amount depends on what gets claimed across the whole class.

Settlements over $600 may be reported to the IRS — check with a tax professional about your specific situation.

Should FMC Services Class Members Opt Out or Object Before August 17, 2026?

What Does Opting Out of the FMC Services Data Breach Settlement Mean for Your Rights?

To opt out, you must timely mail written notice of a request to opt out including your physical signature, full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address, and a statement clearly indicating your request to be excluded from the Settlement Class. The opt out request must be postmarked no later than August 17, 2026. Opting out means you give up your settlement payment but keep the right to sue FMC Services on your own. Most people should not opt out unless they have unusually large individual losses and have already spoken to an attorney.

How to Object to the FMC Services Settlement Terms Before August 17, 2026

To object, you must file a timely written objection with the Court by August 17, 2026, with copies sent to both the Clerk of the District Court, Potter County, Texas, P.O. Box 9570, Amarillo, TX 79105, and the FMC Data Settlement Administrator, P.O. Box 1789, Baton Rouge, LA 70821. Objecting means you are telling the court the settlement is unfair while still remaining in the class and keeping your right to a payment if the settlement is approved.

If you are considering opting out or objecting, speaking with a class action lawsuit attorney before August 17, 2026 is strongly recommended.
