Navvis and St. Louis-based SSM Health have agreed to a $6.5 million settlement to resolve allegations related to a 2023 data breach, according to an April 21 report by Top Class Actions.

Here are four things to know:

  1. The breach occurred in July 2023 and spanned nearly two weeks. It involved a ransomware attack that compromised sensitive data within the organizations’ shared operations. Navvis, a population health management company, collaborates closely with SSM Health.

  2. No admission of wrongdoing was made by either party. The settlement is intended to compensate individuals affected by the breach and resolve a class-action lawsuit filed in its aftermath.

  3. Eligible individuals can seek reimbursement for expenses related to the incident. Ordinary expenses—such as bank fees or credit monitoring—may be reimbursed up to $2,000. Victims of identity theft or significant financial harm may receive up to $5,000 for extraordinary expenses.

  4. Two years of free credit monitoring will be provided as part of the settlement.
