Two of the four filed class-action suits accuse NextGen of not informing patients until a month after it became aware of the data breach, which began in late March; one forwarded claims of negligence, breach of implied contract, unjust enrichment and breach of fiduciary duty; and the other is seeking damages for the risk of identity theft.
