USA Clinics Group agreed to make up to $574,350 available to settle claims it violated the TCPA. There’s a $50-per-text payout, capped at three texts, and you have until October 5, 2026 to file.

Who Is USA Clinics Group and Why Is It Being Sued Over Texts?

Medical Management of Chicago, LLC, doing business as USA Clinics Group, is a private health care services company headquartered in Illinois. Health care providers often lean hard on appointment reminders and follow-up marketing to fill schedules, which means a lot of text volume going out to a lot of phone numbers. That volume is exactly what triggered this lawsuit: plaintiffs say USA Clinics Group kept texting people who had already opted out, and texted numbers sitting on the federal Do Not Call Registry without permission.

What Did USA Clinics Group Do Between 2021 and 2026?

The lawsuit claims USA Clinics Group violated the TCPA by sending more than one text message about its products and services to the same cell number within a 12-month period, after that person had already replied “STOP” or something similar — or by texting numbers that had sat on the National Do Not Call Registry for at least 30 days without the person’s consent. The class period runs from June 12, 2021, through June 16, 2026.

This mirrors a pattern we’ve tracked across the health and wellness space — see our coverage of the AbleTo TCPA settlement over unwanted prerecorded voicemails, another health-adjacent company that settled TCPA claims for a modest per-contact payout. USA Clinics Group denies doing anything wrong and denies the case should even be certified as a class action outside this settlement — but agreed to pay up to $574,350 to resolve it.

No fault admitted. But when a health care company settles over texts sent after people explicitly said stop, the paper trail usually isn’t subtle.

Who Qualifies for the USA Clinics Group Text Settlement?

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

• Anyone who received more than one USA Clinics Group text in any 12-month period after replying “STOP” or a similar opt-out instruction
• People whose cell number sat on the National Do Not Call Registry for 30 or more days when USA Clinics Group texted them without consent
• Coverage runs nationwide, not just one state — this is a Florida state-court case, but the class itself is “all persons in the United States”
• Your texts had to happen between June 12, 2021, and June 16, 2026

You do not automatically qualify just because you’ve heard of USA Clinics Group or received a single text — the claims are specifically about repeat texts after opting out, or DNC Registry violations.

USA Clinics Group Texts Received Outside Florida — Are You Still Covered?

Yes. Even though the case is in Florida state court, the settlement class is defined as “all persons in the United States.” Your eligibility depends on the texts you received and whether you opted out or were on the DNC Registry — not which state you live in.

Here’s the detail worth catching before the deadline math below: if you received a notice from the Settlement Administrator by email or postcard, USA Clinics Group’s own records already say you’re a class member, and that notice contains a LoginID you’ll need to file — so don’t toss that postcard.

Not sure if you qualify for the USA Clinics Group text settlement? A free consultation with a consumer fraud attorney can help before the August 19, 2026 deadline to opt out or object.

How Much Can USA Clinics Group Settlement Class Members Get? Up to $150 Per Person

Each qualifying text message is worth up to $50, capped at three messages per person — so the most any one class member can receive is $150, even if you can document more than three qualifying texts. All of your text messages, across any phone number, are covered under a single claim form.

What “Pro-Rata” Means for Your USA Clinics Group Payment

If enough people file valid claims that the $574,350 fund can’t cover everyone at the full $50-per-text rate, your per-message amount gets reduced proportionally so total payments stay within the fund. Any money left over after all valid claims are paid goes back to USA Clinics Group — it doesn’t roll over to class members who filed.

What Attorneys’ Fees Mean for Your USA Clinics Group Payment

Class Counsel will ask the court for one-third of the settlement fund — about $191,450 — plus a service award of up to $5,000 for the named plaintiff, Christopher Simpkins. Both come out of the same $574,350 fund before per-text payments are calculated, alongside notice and administration costs. That’s worth knowing going in: the $50-per-text figure is a ceiling, not a promise, and it shrinks once fees, costs, and enough claims are factored in.

Filing costs nothing and takes just a few minutes if you have your LoginID handy — there’s no reason to skip it even if your final payment ends up modest.

How to File Your USA Clinics Group Settlement Claim — Step by Step

1. Find your LoginID on the postcard or email notice you received from the Settlement Administrator
2. Go to USAClinicsGroupTCPASettlement.com/form/claim
3. Enter your LoginID, name, and contact information
4. Confirm the phone number(s) that received texts from USA Clinics Group
5. Submit online, or download and mail the paper Claim Form to the Settlement Administrator in Santa Ana, CA
6. Submit by 11:59 p.m. Eastern on October 5, 2026, or postmark a mailed form by that date

Takes about five minutes if you have your LoginID. If you didn’t receive a notice and think you qualify, call the administrator at (833) 421-7311 before assuming you’re out of luck.

Should USA Clinics Group Class Members Opt Out or Object Before August 19, 2026?

What Opting Out of the USA Clinics Group Settlement Actually Means

Opting out means no payment from this settlement’s $574,350 fund. In exchange, you keep the right to sue USA Clinics Group separately over the same texting claims. Most people shouldn’t opt out without legal advice first. The exclusion deadline is August 19, 2026 — nearly seven weeks earlier than the October 5, 2026 claim deadline, so don’t assume you have until October to decide.

How to Object to the USA Clinics Group Settlement

Objecting keeps you in the class and eligible for a payment, but tells the court in writing that you disagree with part of the deal. Objections must be filed with the Circuit Court of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit in Miami-Dade County, Florida, and mailed to the Settlement Administrator, following a detailed format spelled out in the settlement notice. That deadline is also August 19, 2026.

Talk to a class action lawsuit attorney before August 19, 2026 if you’re weighing either option.

USA Clinics Group Text Settlement — Frequently Asked Questions, No. 2026-001894-CA-01

Do I need a lawyer to file a USA Clinics Group settlement claim?

 No. You’re already represented by court-appointed Class Counsel — Christopher Berman of Shamis & Gentile, P.A. and Scott Edelsberg of Edelsberg Law, P.A. — at no charge. Filing at USAClinicsGroupTCPASettlement.com takes minutes if you have your LoginID.

Is the USA Clinics Group text settlement legitimate?

 Yes. It’s authorized by the Circuit Court of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit in Miami-Dade County, Florida, in Case No. 2026-001894-CA-01, and run by settlement administrator Simpluris.

When will USA Clinics Group settlement payments be sent?

 Not before the Final Approval Hearing on September 18, 2026, and the settlement notice specifically warns that appeals — if any are filed — can take more than a year to resolve, so there’s no fixed payment date yet.

What if I didn’t receive a postcard or email notice?

 You may still be able to file. Call the Settlement Administrator at (833) 421-7311 to ask about your status — USA Clinics Group’s own texting records determine who qualifies, and the administrator can help you find or confirm a LoginID.

Can I file a claim for more than three texts?

 You can document as many qualifying texts as you received, but payment is capped at three messages per person — up to $150 total — regardless of how many more you can prove.

What if I missed the August 19, 2026 opt-out or objection deadline?

 You’ll remain in the settlement class automatically and can still file a claim by October 5, 2026 — you just lose the ability to sue separately or formally object to the deal’s terms.
