The cybersecurity attack on Change Healthcare (“Change”), a subsidiary of the UnitedHealth Group, has caused widespread disruption, impacting health care providers and individuals whose personal data was compromised. This breach has led to numerous class action lawsuits, divided into two main groups: providers affected by the claims processing shutdown and individuals whose data was leaked. In June 2024, approximately 50 lawsuits were centralized into a Multi-District Litigation (MDL) in federal court in Minnesota. On September 17, 2024, the first conference in the matter occurred. As the litigation progresses, motions to dismiss, potential mediation, and class certification are expected to shape the case.
