Who Is Lakeview Health and Why Did Their Data Breach Affect You?

Lakeview Health is a Jacksonville, Florida addiction treatment center that provides dual diagnosis, gender-responsive, and trauma-informed care — including medically supervised detoxification, inpatient treatment, and partial hospitalization. Newsweek rated it one of the top addiction treatment centers in Florida in 2025. Because Lakeview Health treats patients for substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions, its records contain some of the most sensitive personal data that exists — Social Security numbers, medical diagnoses, prescription information, and health insurance details. That is exactly what made the January 2024 cyberattack so serious for the people affected.

What Happened to Your Data in the January 2024 Lakeview Health Cyberattack?

Lakeview Health data breach settlement resolves claims arising from a targeted cyberattack on Lakeview Health’s computer systems discovered on or around January 25, 2024. Hackers accessed files that may have contained names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, financial account numbers, patient IDs, medical treatment information, diagnoses, conditions, prescription information, and health insurance information.

The class action was filed by class representatives Brock Skov, Kevin Walker, and Jeffrey Hurley in the Circuit Court of Duval County, Florida, under case No. 16-2024-CA-003154-AXXX-MA. The lawsuit argues that Lakeview Health failed to adequately protect patients’ private information, leaving them exposed to identity theft and fraud.

For context on how similar healthcare data breach cases have played out, our coverage of the Fidelity Investments data breach settlement shows how breach-to-settlement timelines and payout structures typically work when sensitive financial and personal records are exposed. If you have experienced related losses involving multiple breaches, the Comcast Xfinity data breach settlement also has an active August 2026 claim window covering separately exposed personal data.

Lakeview Health denies any wrongdoing. Both sides agreed to settle to avoid the costs and uncertainties of a full trial.

Are You Included in the Lakeview Health Data Breach Settlement?

Here is exactly how to know if this settlement includes you.

You qualify if:

• You are a U.S. resident whose personal identifiable information (PII) or protected health information (PHI) was compromised in the data incident discovered by Lakeview Health on or around January 25, 2024
• You received a notice from Lakeview Health about the January 2024 data breach — receiving that notice means their records confirm your data was involved
• You were a patient, employee, or other individual whose information was stored in Lakeview Health’s systems at the time of the attack

You do not qualify if:

• You are an officer, director, or employee of Lakeview Health Systems, L.L.C. or its related companies
• You opt out of the settlement before July 23, 2026
• You were the person who carried out the cyberattack

Lakeview Health Patients and Former Patients Outside Florida — Are You Still Covered?

Yes. The settlement class is defined as all individuals residing in the United States whose PII or PHI was compromised in the January 2024 data incident. It does not matter where you live now or where you received treatment — if your information was in Lakeview Health’s systems, you are covered regardless of your state.

If you are unsure whether your information was involved, contact the settlement administrator at 1-833-386-6497 (toll-free, 24/7) or email [email protected]. A free consultation with a data privacy attorney can also help you assess your options before the August 24, 2026 claim deadline.

How Much Can Lakeview Health Data Breach Settlement Class Members Recover?

There are four separate payment options. You can claim more than one — except the Alternative Cash Payment, which cannot be combined with any other benefit.

Lakeview Health Settlement Alternative Cash Payment — $50, No Proof Required

Any class member can claim a flat $50 cash payment without providing any documentation or explanation. This is the fastest option if you did not track specific expenses tied to the breach. Select this if you are not claiming any other benefit.

Lakeview Health Settlement Lost Time Payment — Up to $80

If you spent time responding to the data breach — changing passwords, monitoring accounts, researching the incident — you can claim up to four hours at $20 per hour, for a maximum of $80. You must briefly describe how you spent that time on your claim form. Note that if you are also claiming Ordinary Losses, your combined total for lost time and out-of-pocket expenses is capped at $2,000.

Lakeview Health Settlement Ordinary Losses — Up to $2,000 With Documentation

If you incurred out-of-pocket expenses because of the breach between January 25, 2024 and August 24, 2026, you can claim up to $2,000. Covered expenses include fees for credit reports or credit monitoring, costs to freeze or unfreeze your credit, ID replacement costs, and postage for communicating with banks. You must submit receipts or other third-party documentation — your own notes alone are not enough.

Lakeview Health Settlement Extraordinary Losses — Up to $5,000 for Identity Theft or Fraud

If the breach led to actual identity theft or fraud and you suffered financial losses as a result, you can claim up to $5,000. You need to show that the theft or fraud was likely caused by the data incident, that the losses are not already covered under ordinary losses, and that you made reasonable efforts to prevent or recover from the loss. Documentation like bank statements, fraud reports, or insurance claims is required.

The credit monitoring option — one year of CyEx Medical Shield Total with $1 million in medical identity theft insurance — covers healthcare insurance ID exposure, Medical Record Number exposure, and unauthorized Health Savings Account spending. It is available to every class member in addition to whichever cash option you select (except the Alternative Cash Payment, which excludes all other benefits).

Step 4 — If claiming ordinary or extraordinary losses, upload your supporting documentation — receipts, bank statements, fraud reports, or any third-party records that connect the expense to the January 2024 breach.

Step 5 — Choose your payment method: PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, or physical check.

Step 6 — Sign the attestation under penalty of perjury, confirming that your information is true and correct, then submit.

Should Lakeview Health Class Members Opt Out or Object Before July 23, 2026?

What Opting Out of the Lakeview Health Settlement Means for Your Rights

Opting out means you give up your share of the settlement payment but keep the right to sue Lakeview Health separately over the January 2024 breach. Most people should not opt out unless they have documented losses that substantially exceed $5,000 and have already consulted with an attorney about pursuing an individual case. The opt-out deadline is July 23, 2026. Mail your Request for Exclusion to: Lakeview Health Data Incident Settlement, ATTN: Exclusion Request, PO Box 25226, Santa Ana, CA 92799-9958.

How to Object to the Lakeview Health Settlement Terms Before July 23, 2026

Objecting means telling the court the settlement is unfair while still remaining in the class. You must file your complete objection with the Clerk of Court at 501 W Adams St, Jacksonville, FL 32202 by July 23, 2026, and send a copy to the settlement administrator. Your objection must include your name, contact information, personal signature, proof of class membership, and a clear description of your reasons.

If you are considering opting out or objecting, speaking with a data privacy attorney before July 23, 2026 is strongly recommended.

Lakeview Health Data Breach Settlement — Frequently Asked Questions, No. 16-2024-CA-003154-AXXX-MA

Do I need to file a claim to receive a payment from the Lakeview Health data breach settlement?

 Yes. Unlike some settlements that pay automatically, this one requires you to submit a claim form by August 24, 2026. If you do nothing, you will receive no payment and you will still give up the right to sue Lakeview Health over the January 2024 breach.

Can I claim the $50 Lakeview Health alternative cash payment and credit monitoring at the same time?

 No. The alternative cash payment cannot be combined with any other benefit — not credit monitoring, not lost time, not ordinary or extraordinary losses. If you have documented expenses, you are better off claiming those instead.

What documentation do I need to file a Lakeview Health extraordinary losses claim for up to $5,000? 

You need third-party evidence showing the loss occurred, that it was likely caused by the January 2024 breach, and that you took reasonable steps to prevent or recover from it. Bank statements showing unauthorized transactions, police reports, fraud alerts, or insurance records are examples of acceptable documentation. Your own written notes alone are not sufficient.

Is the Lakeview Health settlement legitimate? 

Yes. The Circuit Court of Duval County, Florida authorized this settlement notice. The case is Skov et al. v. Lakeview Health Systems, L.L.C., No. 16-2024-CA-003154-AXXX-MA. The settlement administrator is Simpluris, reachable at 1-833-386-6497 or [email protected]. The only official claim site is www.LakeviewHealthsettlement.com.

When will Lakeview Health settlement payments be sent out?

 The Final Approval Hearing is October 8, 2026. If the court approves the settlement and no appeals are filed, payments will follow. The exact timeline depends on whether any appeals are filed after the hearing. Check www.LakeviewHealthsettlement.com for updates.

My data was exposed but I have not experienced fraud yet. Should I still file a Lakeview Health claim? 

Yes. You can claim the $50 alternative cash payment or the lost time payment without proving any actual loss. You can also enroll in one year of CyEx Medical Shield Total credit monitoring to protect against future fraud — included at no cost with your claim.

What specific information was exposed in the January 2024 Lakeview Health data breach? 

Files accessed in the breach may have contained names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, financial account numbers, patient IDs, medical treatment information, diagnoses, conditions, prescription information, and health insurance information. Not every person’s file contained all of these data types.

Can former Lakeview Health patients outside Florida file a claim for the data breach settlement?

 Yes. The class includes all U.S. residents whose personal or protected health information was compromised in the January 2024 breach. Your current state of residence does not matter — only whether your data was in Lakeview Health’s systems at the time of the attack.
