Laboratory Services Cooperative Class Action Lawsuit
If you had lab work ordered at a Planned Parenthood health center, the lab that ran it may have been one you never heard of: Laboratory Services Cooperative, or LSC, a Seattle nonprofit that does testing for some Planned Parenthood centers. In this Laboratory Services Cooperative class action case, LSC agrees that it found suspicious activity on its network on October 27, 2024, and that files may have been taken. It began notifying people on April 10, 2025. LSC's notice said the files could hold contact details, Social Security and ID numbers, insurance and bank or card details, and medical details such as diagnoses and lab results.
The LSC lawsuit details turn on who those patients were. According to the complaint, about 1.6 million people were affected, and most never chose LSC or agreed to it holding records it got through Planned Parenthood centers. The lawsuit says LSC lacked the safeguards that data needed and took six months to tell patients. The LSC legal claims include negligence, breach of contract, invasion of privacy, unjust enrichment (keeping money a company was not entitled to), and consumer and privacy laws in Washington, California, New York and Illinois. Planned Parenthood is not a defendant.
Eight lawsuits were filed starting April 16, 2025, and the court combined them on May 29, 2025. The case is In re Laboratory Services Cooperative Data Breach Litigation, No. 2:25-cv-00685-BJR, before Judge Barbara J. Rothstein in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. The court-appointed lawyers for the class, known as class counsel, are Cecily C. Jordan of Tousley Brain Stephens and Thomas E. Loeser of Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy.
Laboratory Services Cooperative Class Action Settlement - $6,100,000
The latest LSC settlement update is that LSC has agreed to pay $6,100,000 into a settlement fund, and the court gave the deal preliminary approval on July 27, 2026. That is the whole Laboratory Services Cooperative lawsuit settlement amount, and none of it goes back to LSC. For scale, the complaint puts LSC's yearly revenue at about $18 million, and the agreement cites LSC's limited finances as one reason to settle. LSC denies wrongdoing, and this Planned Parenthood lab data breach settlement is not an admission of it.
Everything comes out of the fund. The lawyers will ask for fees of up to one third, about $2,033,000, plus their expenses, and $2,500 each for the two class representatives, Keefe John and Tori McMillan. The settlement administrator, Angeion Group, is paid from it too, and so is the monitoring service claimants choose. What remains goes to a court-approved charity, known as a cy pres recipient; the parties will propose the National Health Law Program and the Alliance for Women's Health & Prevention. LSC described its security changes to class counsel only in a confidential statement.
LSC settlement eligibility covers U.S. residents whose information may have been exposed in the incident. Patients are not being mailed a notice, a plan the court approved given what it called substantial privacy concerns; they are being reached through online ads and notices in Planned Parenthood health centers instead. The deadline to file a claim is November 22, 2026. Opt-outs and objections are due in writing by October 26, 2026, and the judge will decide on final approval at a hearing on January 4, 2027, held by Zoom.

Laboratory Services Cooperative Class Action Payout: About $50 (estimate)
There is no fixed LSC settlement amount per person, so here is an estimate and how we got it. From the $6,100,000, take out the most the lawyers can be awarded, about $2,033,000, then $5,000 for the class representatives and an allowance of about $1,050,000 for expenses, administration, monitoring and documented losses, which the documents do not price. That leaves about $3,000,000. The complaint says 1.6 million people were affected. In the Planned Parenthood Los Angeles breach settlement, the administrator reports that 3.88% of the class filed claims. At that rate, about 62,000 claims would share the cash at about $50 each.
So the answer to how much will I get from the LSC lawsuit is roughly $50, as an estimate rather than a promise. The cash is pro rata, which here means the money left is split evenly among valid claims, up to $1,000 each. Fewer claims mean more per person: if 2% of the class files, the share is nearer $95. You can also claim up to $5,000 for documented out-of-pocket losses, and two years of Medical Shield Complete by CyEx, which monitors your medical and credit information and includes $1 million of identity theft insurance.
As for the LSC settlement payout date, eligible payments are sent within 30 days after the settlement becomes final, after approval and any appeals, which usually takes months. The claim form offers PayPal, Venmo, Zelle or a mailed check, and checks expire 90 days after they are issued. If a payment does not arrive, call the settlement administrator at 1-844-933-4334.
Health Data Breach Settlement Payouts
Laboratory Services Cooperative Class Action Eligibility
LSC class action eligibility covers three groups: people who had lab tests ordered by a Planned Parenthood health center on or before October 27, 2024, people who paid the bill for someone else's tests, and current and former LSC workers. Not every Planned Parenthood center or test is included. LSC's notice says only centers that used it for lab work were affected, and that some of them began using it only in recent years.
LSC class action claimants do not need to know whether LSC handled their tests, and most would not. The claim form asks whether you worked for LSC, had lab testing at a Planned Parenthood center, or paid for someone else's, and then the patient's name and date of birth and the city and state of the health center visited. LSC is giving the settlement administrator a patient list with those same details. The form does not ask what the tests were for or what they found.
To claim documented losses, you need paperwork you did not write yourself, such as receipts, bank statements or a charge for freezing your credit; a handwritten note alone is not enough. When you sign, you affirm that your answers are true and correct to the best of your knowledge. That is not a statement under penalty of perjury, but claims are checked, the administrator can ask for more, and a claim that does not hold up can be cut back or rejected. Claim what you can show: a smaller, accurate claim gets paid. The deadline is November 22, 2026.

FAQ
No. The lawsuit is against Laboratory Services Cooperative, a Seattle nonprofit lab that runs tests for some Planned Parenthood health centers. Planned Parenthood is not a defendant and pays nothing, though its centers are posting notices about the settlement.
Most patients would not know, because LSC worked behind the scenes. Its notice says only centers that used it for lab work were affected. You do not need to find out first: answer the claim form's questions about your visit, and the administrator has LSC's patient list.
The notice plan does not mail patients, which the court approved given the privacy concerns involved. Patients are being reached through online ads and notices at Planned Parenthood health centers and on their websites. Only LSC workers are mailed a notice.
LSC's notice says it varied by person but could include contact details, date of birth, Social Security, license or passport numbers, insurance and bank or card details, and diagnoses and lab results. LSC said dark web monitors it hired had found no sign of the data.
No. It asks whether you had lab testing at a Planned Parenthood center or paid for someone else's, the patient's name and date of birth, and the city and state of the center. It does not ask about the tests themselves or their results.
Our estimate is about $50: roughly $3,000,000 left for cash after fees and costs, shared by about 62,000 claimants if 3.88% of 1.6 million people file, as in the Planned Parenthood Los Angeles breach settlement. Fewer claims mean more each, up to $1,000.
No. That was a separate 2021 breach at Planned Parenthood Los Angeles, settled for $6 million, and its claim deadline passed in 2024. This settlement covers LSC's 2024 incident and patients of health centers in a number of states.
Yes. LSC's 2025 offer of 12 or 24 months of Medical Shield Complete, depending on your state, had to be activated by July 14, 2025. The settlement offers two years of the same service to anyone in the class who asks for it on the claim form.
Up to one third of the $6,100,000 fund, about $2,033,000, plus case expenses, and $2,500 each for the two class representatives. The judge decides all of it at the January 4, 2027 hearing and may award less.
Claims are due by November 22, 2026. Eligible payments are sent within 30 days after the settlement becomes final, which means after the court's approval and any appeals, and usually takes months. Filing is included in a Chimo membership.
