Mercy Health Privacy Settlement

If you reside in the state of Ohio and are or were a patient of Bon Secours Mercy Health, and logged into Mercy MyChart between March 27, 2018, and December 31, 2021, you may be entitled to a cash payment from a Settlement.

Payments to Class Members who submitted valid claims were sent on December 17, 2025.

A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Bon Secours Mercy Health (“Defendant” or “Mercy”) arising out of an alleged disclosure of personally identifiable information and protected health information for patients who logged into the Mercy MyChart between March 27, 2018, and December 31, 2021.

Plaintiff alleges Defendant maintained a web property at www.mercy.com and an online patient portal through which it encouraged patients to exchange communications to search for a doctor, learn more about their conditions and treatments, access medical records and test results, and make appointments. Plaintiff alleges that through these web properties, Defendant caused the unprivileged, unauthorized transmissions of personally identifiable information and protected health information to third parties, including Facebook and Google. Mercy denies this allegation, including specifically denying that any medical information from either the patient portal or the website was shared with Facebook or Google. Nonetheless, the Parties collectively agreed to resolve their dispute on a class-wide basis.

The Settlement Class includes: All natural persons residing in the State of Ohio who are, or were, patients of Bon Secours Mercy Health and logged into their Mercy MyChart patient portal between March 27, 2018 and December 31, 2021. This means you were residing in the State of Ohio when you logged into the Mercy MyChart patient portal.
