What We Checked
Searchers usually want to know one of three things. Tracking: many hospitals have been sued for sending portal or website activity to Meta or Google. We found no such Moffitt Cancer Center lawsuit, and no law-firm investigation of one, as of October 8, 2026.
Data breach: the Moffitt Cancer Center data breach most people mean happened at a vendor. Moffitt says it learned on February 21, 2024 that its service provider Advarra, Inc. had been breached. Advarra determined an unauthorized actor may have accessed the data on October 25, 2023 — names, Social Security numbers and dates of birth. A law firm announced an investigation in April 2024. We found no filed lawsuit.
Billing: on January 4, 2024, the Justice Department announced that Moffitt would pay $19,564,743 under the False Claims Act. The government said Moffitt billed Medicare, Medicaid and TRICARE for clinical-trial care that should have been billed to trial sponsors or given free.
Case Details
There is no court case number to give for a patient class action, because we found none. The billing matter was a settlement agreement, not a lawsuit. It covered claims from May 11, 2014 to May 10, 2020. Moffitt paid $18,244,242.54 to the United States and $1,320,500.46 to Florida for Medicaid. Moffitt had self-disclosed the problem in December 2020, and the government credited it for cooperating. The agreement states it is “neither an admission of liability by Moffitt.”
A former center director filed an individual employment lawsuit in 2020 over his forced resignation. That is not a class action, and patients have no stake in it.
Status: Reference Only, No Patient Case
The $19.5 million billing settlement is finished business between Moffitt and the government. Patients do not file claims in it. A full federal docket search was not possible for this check, so a quiet filing cannot be ruled out. We will update this page if a case appears.
What Moffitt Patients Can Check
The portal is not called MyChart. Moffitt’s portal is the MyMoffitt Patient Portal, at my.moffitt.org, with its own app. You use it to message your care team, manage appointments and see lab results. Support is at 1-888-Moffitt.
For the vendor breach, check your mail. A notice from Moffitt or Advarra about the October 2023 incident is your proof that your data was involved. Keep it.
For tracking, our form asks whether you used the website or the portal, what you did there (searched a condition, booked an appointment, read results) and when you last did it. That is what decides membership in tracking cases elsewhere. You can answer those questions here; it is not a claim, because no Moffitt claim exists.
If you were treated at the University of Hawaii Cancer Center instead, that is a different settlement.
Is There Money for Patients?
For context only: hospital tracking cases elsewhere have settled for a flat per-person payment, and vendor-breach cases for documented losses plus credit monitoring. Our MyChart settlement calculator and data breach settlement calculator show how those funds divide. Neither predicts a Moffitt payment.

Three Things to Watch For
A well-known name, a real settlement headline and a real vendor breach make easy cover for imposters:
“Claim your share of the $19.5 million”
That money was paid to the United States and Florida. There is no patient share and no claim form. A site asking for your details to “collect” it is collecting data, not filing anything.
Fake MyMoffitt sign-in links
A text or email warning of a “MyMoffitt privacy settlement” with a login link is a phishing pattern. Type my.moffitt.org yourself, or call 1-888-Moffitt.
Calls about the Advarra breach
Advarra breach letters are real, but no settlement exists. Nobody legitimate calls to ask for your full Social Security number or a fee to “register” you for one.
Moffitt Cancer Center Lawsuit — Questions People Ask
Is there a Moffitt Cancer Center class action?
Not one that pays patients. As of October 8, 2026, we found no Moffitt Cancer Center class action over website tracking, the patient portal or a data breach.
Is there a Moffitt Cancer Center MyChart lawsuit?
We found none. Moffitt’s portal is called MyMoffitt, and we found no lawsuit claiming it or moffitt.org shared patient activity with Meta, Google or other trackers.
What was the Moffitt Cancer Center data breach?
Its vendor Advarra, Inc. was breached. Advarra determined an unauthorized actor may have accessed data on October 25, 2023, including names, Social Security numbers and dates of birth. Moffitt was informed on February 21, 2024. A tracker of HHS notices also lists one earlier Moffitt incident, dated September 2020, of 1,000+ records.
Is there an Advarra breach settlement?
We found none, and no filed lawsuit — only a law-firm investigation notice from April 2024. No fund, no claim form and no deadline.
What was the $19.5 million Moffitt Cancer Center settlement?
A False Claims Act settlement announced January 4, 2024. Moffitt paid $19,564,743 over clinical-trial billing from May 11, 2014 to May 10, 2020. It was not an admission of liability, and patients do not claim from it.
Do I need to do anything now?
No deadline exists. Keep any breach letter from Moffitt or Advarra, freeze your credit if your Social Security number was involved, and check insurer statements for care you never received.
How would I hear about a real settlement?
A court-appointed administrator would send notice by mail or email, naming the case and the court. You would not be asked to pay anything to file.
What does your form ask, and is it a claim?
It asks whether you used moffitt.org or the portal, what you did there and when. It is not a claim and does not enroll you in any case, because no Moffitt case exists.
Separate from this case: were you injured in the last 2 years?
Class-action payouts are fixed amounts through an administrator. A personal injury claim is a different case — and often worth far more. Free estimate, no obligation.
