Closed to new claimsPrivacyKaiser Permanente $46 Million Privacy Breach Settlement: Payout Status
Last updated: July 13, 2026
Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, the parent of health system Kaiser Permanente, agreed to a privacy settlement of $46 million — up to $47.5 million under certain conditions — to resolve claims that it shared members' personal and health information with third parties through web-tracking technologies on its websites and mobile apps. The claim deadline has passed — it closed on March 12, 2026 — so new claims are no longer accepted. Class members who filed are estimated to receive between $20 and $40 each, paid pro rata from the settlement fund.
The lawsuit, Doe v. Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc. (Case No. 3:23-cv-02865-EMC, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California), alleged that tracking tools such as the Meta Pixel and other third-party trackers on Kaiser's logged-in websites and apps disclosed members' information without consent, in violation of state and federal privacy laws. The settlement covers roughly 13.4 million people who accessed authenticated Kaiser Permanente websites or apps between November 2017 and May 2024 while living in California, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland, Oregon, Virginia, Washington, or the District of Columbia. A final approval hearing was held in mid-2026; payments are expected within about 90 days of final approval, barring appeals.
