The Sutter Health Privacy class action case—Jane Doe I and Jane Doe II, et al. v. Sutter Health, Case No. 34-2019-00258072-CU-BT-GDS—claims that Sutter’s use of third-party tracking technologies disclosed patients’ personally identifiable information and protected health information without consent. These Sutter Health Privacy lawsuit details center on alleged transmissions of sensitive data to companies such as Meta and Google. The plaintiffs in this case used pseudonyms because the case involves sensitive health information, the Court allowed the plaintiffs to proceed under pseudonyms to protect their privacy throughout the litigation.

Class Counsel includes attorneys from Kiesel Law LLP and Simmons Hanly Conroy LLP, with the settlement overseen by Judge Lauri A. Damrell in the Superior Court of California for Sacramento County. Settlement terms and procedures are outlined in court-approved documents, including the Class Action Settlement Agreement and Notice.

Sutter Health MyHealthOnline Class Action Payout: 90
If you’re wondering how much you will get from the Sutter Health Privacy lawsuit, the settlement provides a clear structure. The Sutter Health Privacy settlement amount per person is up to $90, with final payouts determined by how many valid claims are submitted from the 1.6+ million eligible users. Claimants in this settlement may receive between $50–$90, depending on total participation, administrative costs, and the net settlement fund remaining after fees approved by the court.
Any leftover funds go to Privacy Rights Clearinghouse and AHIMA Foundation, nonprofits chosen for their work in consumer data protection and health information privacy. Both committed to using funds only for California-focused advocacy.
Payouts are pro rata, meaning every approved claimant receives an equal share. No proof of damages is required—claimants simply attest that they logged into MyHealthOnline during the covered period.
The Sutter Health Privacy settlement payout date is expected to occur about 120 days after the Final Approval order becomes final, accounting for required court approvals, appeals timelines, and fraud prevention checks. This helps ensure funds are distributed fairly and securely.
If you haven’t received payment after distribution begins, you may need to confirm your selected payment method or update your mailing information with the settlement administrator.

Sutter Health MyHealthOnline Class Action Eligibility
To determine Sutter Health Privacy class action eligibility, the claim form asks whether you were a California resident and personally logged into your own MyHealthOnline portal between June 10, 2015, and March 20, 2020. Nearly 1.7M Californians were identified as potential class members based on Sutter's internal login records. These questions help confirm you match the group identified in Sutter’s internal login records—the official Sutter Health Privacy class action claimants.
You may be asked to confirm:
- You logged into your MyHealthOnline account, not someone else’s.
- Your login was for your own healthcare needs.
- Your contact information and Unique ID from the notice.
A unique element of this case: eligibility depends on self-attesting that the login was for your own care because Sutter’s systems could not determine whether a user or another person accessed the portal on their behalf. This gap required a self-attestation process to ensure payouts go only to claimants who meet the strict class definition.
This ensures payments align with the class definition and the claims at issue.

Approved claimants may receive up to $90, depending on how many people file claims and the net funds remaining after court-approved fees.
The $90 cap was negotiated to avoid disproportionate payouts if claim rates happen to be low. Court documents explain that this number aligns with expert damage models and prevents “windfalls” while ensuring fairness across all claimants.

The class size is enormous: approximately 1,628,160 identified users.
