Ortho Rhode Island has agreed to a $2.9 million settlement in a data privacy lawsuit, according to the Kent County (R.I.) Superior Court.

The company experienced a three-day outage following an attack on its systems in September 2024. Data exposed by the hack included names, addresses, billing and health insurance information.

Ortho RI has denied any wrongdoing, but will pay $2.9 million to dismiss the lawsuit. 

The final approval hearing is scheduled for Jan. 28, 2026.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
