Comparable settlements $30M–$68M ▾
Healthcare-provider privacy claims via tracking tech have split outcomes: Bayhealth found a confidentiality duty survived, while Integris saw state privacy claims remain unclear after removal fights. No wiretap-specific ruling directly favors either side here.

Per member (realized): ~$29 median · $25–$30 (n=4)
Comparable verdict: Google LLC $425.70M · Google LLC $425M
Key precedent: Doe v. Bayhealth Medical Ctr. — healthcare provider confidentiality duty for tracking-tech disclosures survived MTD, closest analog to a medical-care defendant
Main risk: Dismissal on standing/causation grounds as in Integris removal fight, or narrow reading of wiretap consent akin to LabCorp's restrictive statutory interpretation
Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $1.25M–$12M
No case-specific facts on data type or breach scope; class size inferred from generic corporate profile, not confirmed patient records exposed. · grounded in 6 rulings, 10 settlements, 2 verdicts
