Who Are Regional Urology and Ochsner LSU Health, and Why Are They Being Sued?

Regional Urology, LLC is a Louisiana urology practice, and Ochsner LSU Health is the larger health system connected to it — together called “OLHS” in the settlement documents. In October 2025, a targeted cyberattack hit OLHS’s computer systems, and files containing patient names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and medical record numbers may have been accessed. Patients sued, arguing OLHS should have kept that information secure.

What Did OLHS Do to Patients in the October 2025 Data Incident?

The lawsuit centers on a straightforward claim: OLHS held sensitive patient data and didn’t keep it safe from a targeted cyberattack. The files involved covered care received at Regional Urology before December 31, 2022, which means even patients who haven’t been back to the practice in years could still be affected.

OLHS hasn’t admitted fault. The settlement site puts it plainly: “OLHS denies that it did anything wrong, and the Court has not decided who is right.” That’s typical settlement language — the companies chose to pay rather than fight the case out in court.

If you’ve gotten more than one of these notices lately, you’re not alone — our coverage of the Furniture Mart USA data breach settlement covers a nearly identical documented-loss-versus-flat-payment structure, if you want to compare how these cases typically resolve.

A urology visit from three or four years ago shouldn’t come back to haunt your credit report. For the patients in this case, it did.

Who Qualifies for the Regional Urology Data Breach Settlement?

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

• Anyone whose private information was potentially compromised in the October 2025 OLHS data incident
• Patients who received care at Regional Urology before December 31, 2022
• People who received a settlement notice by mail starting August 17, 2026
• Household members whose Social Security number, date of birth, or medical record number appeared in the affected files

You do NOT qualify if you’re an OLHS officer, director, or agent, a governmental entity, the judge assigned to the case, or someone who’s already filed a valid request to opt out.

OLHS Patients Outside Louisiana — Are You Still Covered?

Yes. The settlement class is defined as all living individuals in the United States whose private information was potentially compromised — it doesn’t matter what state you live in now, only whether your information was in the affected files.

How Much Can Regional Urology Data Breach Settlement Class Members Get? Up to $5,000 Per Person

Regional Urology Payout With Proof — Up to $5,000

If you can show actual, documented out-of-pocket losses tied to the breach between October 5, 2025, and November 16, 2026 — identity theft costs, credit monitoring fees, credit freeze/unfreeze charges, ID replacement, even postage to contact your bank — you can claim up to $5,000. You’ll need bank statements, receipts, or similar proof; notes you write yourself can support that proof but can’t replace it.

Regional Urology Medical Monitoring — One Year, No Extra Cost

Anyone who doesn’t take the flat $40 payment can also enroll in one year of CyEx Medical Shield Complete, which includes $1 million in medical identity theft insurance and monitoring for healthcare insurance ID exposure, medical record number exposure, and unauthorized HSA spending.

Regional Urology Payout Without Proof — $40 Flat

Don’t want to track down receipts? Take the flat $40 instead. No documentation needed — but you can’t combine it with the documented-loss payment or medical monitoring.

Payments go out after the court grants final approval and any appeals are resolved — no exact mailing date has been set yet. Payments over $600 may appear on a 1099. Check with a tax professional about your specific situation.

Honestly, $40 is a modest number next to $5,000 — but so is the effort. If you don’t have documented losses to show, the flat payment is money for a five-minute form.

How to File Your Regional Urology Data Breach Settlement Claim — Step by Step

1. Go to regionalurologydatasettlement.com/form/claim
2. Enter your name, contact information, and the details from your settlement notice
3. Choose your benefit: documented losses plus medical monitoring, or the flat $40 payment
4. Upload proof if you’re claiming documented losses — bank statements, receipts, or a brief description of your expenses
5. Submit and save your confirmation number
6. Watch your email — Simpluris will reach out if anything else is needed

The flat $40 option takes just a few minutes. Documenting losses for the $5,000 tier takes longer, depending on how much paperwork you’re gathering.

You have until November 16, 2026, to file.

Should Regional Urology Class Members Opt Out or Object Before October 16, 2026?

What Opting Out of the Regional Urology Settlement Actually Means

Opting out means no payment from this settlement, but you keep your right to sue OLHS on your own over these same claims. Most people shouldn’t opt out without talking to a lawyer first. The opt-out deadline is October 16, 2026.

How to Object to the Regional Urology Settlement

Objecting means staying in the class while telling the court in writing why you disagree with the deal. Objections must be filed with the Clerk of the Court, 501 Texas St., Room 103, Shreveport, LA 71101, with copies sent to the Settlement Administrator, Class Counsel, and Defendants’ Counsel, all postmarked by October 16, 2026.
