Kaiser Permanente will pay $46 million to settle lawsuits over alleged patient data breaches from November 2017 to May 2024. The health giant's websites and mobile apps allegedly shared confidential information with Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Twitter/X without patient consent.

The exposed data included names, IP addresses, medical histories, and communications with healthcare providers. Kaiser denies wrongdoing but agreed to settle to avoid prolonged litigation.

Current and former Kaiser members in nine states and DC who used the company's digital platforms during this period can file claims. Most eligible members will receive $20-$40. Claims must be filed by March 12, 2026, using a unique ID sent via email or mail.
