Labcorp AMCA breach settlement: $50 payment for affected patients, up to $5,000 documented
By ClaimBridge Team
Labcorp patients whose information passed through the American Medical Collection Agency (AMCA) during its 2018–2019 breach can claim roughly $50 without sending a single document from Labcorp's $35 million settlement — or up to $5,000 for documented losses, plus two years of credit monitoring. Claims close September 3, 2026.
What happened
AMCA was a collections vendor for major lab companies, including Labcorp. Between August 2018 and March 2019, attackers had access to its systems, exposing patients' personal and financial information. The breach was serious enough to push AMCA into bankruptcy; this settlement, preliminarily approved April 21, 2026, resolves the claims against Labcorp in the District of New Jersey.
Who qualifies and how much
You're in the class if Labcorp transmitted your information to AMCA for collections and your data was in the implicated systems during the breach window. The claim form makes you pick one: the alternative cash payment, about $50, where you tick the box and move on; or reimbursement up to $5,000 for out-of-pocket losses, which requires supporting documentation that you did not prepare yourself. Two years of credit monitoring is a separate box you can tick alongside either one.
How to file
ClaimBridge finds it, lays out what registering takes, and readies your registration as a class member — you finish it in minutes and keep 100% of the payout. The official settlement site is amcadatabreachsettlement83395.com. Deadline: September 3, 2026. If you had a Labcorp bill go to collections in 2018–2019, that's the tell that your data was likely in AMCA's systems.

How much does the Labcorp settlement pay?
An alternative cash payment of about $50 with no documents, or reimbursement up to $5,000 for documented losses — plus two years of credit monitoring. You choose one of the two cash options, not both.
