Our notes: Per the notice, the class is patients, patient designees and patient representatives (the notice says this can include individuals, lawyers, law firms and companies) who requested medical records from a Pennsylvania healthcare provider for a patient's life and/or health insurance application ('underwriting' requests), paid HealthPort (now Datavant) more than the Pennsylvania Medical Records Act fee limits, and were not charged an agreed-upon rate, December 17, 2009 through July 23, 2026. Excluded: present or former counsel for HealthPort in the case, the Court, its immediate family and staff, and Class Counsel. The site warns that the separate Landay v. Datavant settlement (GD-09-012923) is unrelated and has different deadlines. Read the notice for the full definition.
