Who Is Penn Medicine and Why Are They Being Sued for Pixel Tracking?

Penn Medicine is the University of Pennsylvania Health System, the hospital network behind Penn Presbyterian, Pennsylvania Hospital, and several other campuses across the Philadelphia region. It runs myPennMedicine, the patient portal where people book visits, message doctors, and check lab results. That portal sits behind a login wall, which is exactly where a tracking pixel would go unnoticed the longest.

What Did Penn Medicine Do to myPennMedicine Users Between 2021 and 2023?

Plaintiffs say Penn Medicine embedded tracking pixels from Meta and Google inside the myPennMedicine portal between January 23, 2021, and January 23, 2023. Those pixels are small snippets of code, and the lawsuit claims they quietly sent portal activity to Meta and Google without asking patients first. That’s the core allegation: a violation of Pennsylvania’s Wiretapping and Electronic Surveillance Control Act, a law that bars intercepting and disclosing private communications without consent.

Penn Medicine isn’t the only health system facing this exact claim. The Northwell Health pixel tracking settlement resolved a nearly identical allegation — tracking code on a patient portal, data flowing to advertising platforms, a $15-per-claim payout. Penn Medicine denies doing anything wrong. It settled anyway, and the deal requires its Web Governance Committee to review any analytics or advertising tool on pennmedicine.org before turning one back on, for at least two years.

Did you log into myPennMedicine to check a lab result or message a doctor between January 2021 and January 2023? Then this case is about you — whether you noticed a Meta or Google icon on the page or not.

Who Qualifies for the Penn Medicine Pixel Tracking Settlement?

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

• Anyone who accessed the myPennMedicine patient portal between January 23, 2021, and January 23, 2023
• Patients who had a Pennsylvania address on file at the time they logged in
• People who received a Notice ID and PIN by email from the settlement administrator, Epiq

Patients who used the portal outside that window, or who never had a Pennsylvania address on file during it, fall outside the settlement class as defined. The same tracking-pixel issue shows up in the Inova Health tracking pixel settlement, which covers a different hospital system and a different class period — worth checking if Penn Medicine’s dates don’t match yours.

Penn Medicine myPennMedicine Users Outside Pennsylvania — Are You Still Covered?

The class is defined by the address on file, not where you live today. If your address on record was in Pennsylvania when you accessed myPennMedicine during the class period, you’re covered even if you’ve since moved. If your address on file was outside Pennsylvania the whole time, this particular class doesn’t include you.

That’s a narrower class than most pixel-tracking cases. It’s also why the per-claim payout stayed at a flat $15 instead of shrinking further.

How Much Can Penn Medicine Pixel Tracking Settlement Class Members Get? Up to $15 Per Person

Every class member who files a valid claim gets a cash payment of up to $15. The notice doesn’t guarantee the full amount — if claims run unusually high, the actual payment could come in lower.

Payment goes out by check about 90 days after final approval and any appeals wrap up, unless you choose PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, ACH, or eMasterCard instead. Checks expire 180 days after they’re issued, so cash yours promptly. At $15, this payment is well under the $600 threshold where a 1099 typically kicks in — but check with a tax professional if you’re unsure.

Class Counsel can seek up to $3,700,000 out of the $9.25 million fund — roughly 40 cents of every dollar before administration costs and incentive awards even come out. Class representatives can seek incentive awards too: $5,000 each for nine of them, $2,500 each for the other two. Normal for a case like this. Still worth knowing why your $15 check isn’t $150.

Should Penn Medicine Class Members Opt Out or Object Before September 1, 2026?

What Opting Out of the Penn Medicine Settlement Actually Means

Opting out meant no payment, but it kept your right to sue Penn Medicine separately over the same claims. That window closed September 1, 2026. If you didn’t mail a written exclusion request by then, you’re in the settlement class now — whether or not you file a claim.

How to Object to the Penn Medicine Settlement

Objecting required a written filing mailed to UPHS Pixel Settlement, P.O. Box 4536, Portland, OR 97208-4536, with your name, the case number, and your reasons attached. That deadline also passed on September 1, 2026.

If you already sent an exclusion or objection before that date, hold onto your proof. The Final Approval Hearing is set for November 12, 2026, via Zoom, and questions about a pending filing should go to a class action attorney.
