Searching 'MyChart Lawsuit' for Your State Finds Nothing — Epic Isn't the Defendant. Five Portal Settlements Close Within 27 Days, Starting With a Flat $50 on August 14

MyChart is not a hospital — it's patient-portal software built by Epic Systems and licensed by hundreds of health systems. That's why searching “MyChart lawsuit Ohio” or “MyChart class action Washington” goes nowhere: in the pixel-tracking litigation wave, the defendants are individual hospitals and health systems, not Epic. Every settled case we track — from Advocate Aurora's $12.225M to Henry Ford's $12.29M — names the provider that allegedly wired its own portal with advertising trackers, not the company that makes the portal.

The practical consequence: your state doesn't determine your eligibility. The portal you logged into does. A Kentucky patient can be in a California hospital's class; an Ohio patient whose health system never settled is in none, no matter how many state-specific searches they run. The full case list lives on our MyChart settlement tracker.

Between August 14 and September 5, five separate portal-tracking settlements close their claim windows:

• August 14 — St. Joseph Hospital (Nashua, NH): $1.25M fund, flat $50 per claimant, no proof required, for MyChart portal use since January 1, 2023 (stjosephpixelsettlement.com, Fiorillo v. St. Joseph Hospital).
• August 16 — Duke University Health System: $3,743,600 fund, pro-rata payment, for Duke MyChart or MyDuke Health logins between February 18, 2019 and June 17, 2022 (DUHSSettlement.com; final approval hearing August 27).
• August 21 — Memorial Health Services (MemorialCare, CA): $750,000 fund, class of roughly 182,000, for MyChart logins in a narrow four-month window — March 7 through July 8, 2022 (MHSPixelSettlement.com, Valladolid v. Memorial Health Services; hearing September 17).
• August 29 — Call-On-Doc: telehealth, not a hospital, but the same playbook — up to $20 under California privacy law for accounts created while in California on or after November 7, 2023, or California medical bookings started on or after November 7, 2021 (CallOnDocCIPASettlement.com; hearing August 31).
• September 5 — Banner Health (AZ): $20 cash plus a year of privacy monitoring for roughly 1,028,000 former MyBanner portal users who logged in between June 1, 2020 and November 22, 2023 (bannerhealthdatasettlement.com — our full breakdown is here).

A sixth neighbor case runs on the same clock but isn't MyChart: the Delta Dental “Cover Me” portal settlement (Wyssta Services, up to $16.50) closes August 20. Bayhealth's pixel case runs longer, to October 5.

The template is consistent: complaints allege the health system embedded the Meta Pixel or similar advertising trackers in its patient portal, transmitting information about logged-in patients to third parties without consent — claims brought under wiretap and privacy statutes (the federal ECPA, California's CIPA, state eavesdropping laws). No hacking is alleged in any of these five cases. Nobody broke in; the dispute is over what the websites themselves allegedly sent out.

Equally consistent: every defendant denies wrongdoing, and none of these settlements includes a finding of liability. That's the standard shape of this litigation category — of the MyChart-related matters on our tracker, none has gone to a merits verdict.

To find your case, skip the state search and ask: which patient portals have I actually logged into, and when? Then check the class period — they're narrower than people expect. MemorialCare's covers exactly four months of 2022; Duke's ends in June 2022; St. Joseph's only starts in 2023. Match the portal and the window, and filing takes minutes — all five accept online claims and none requires documentation of harm.

One expectation check: filing a claim now doesn't mean money now. Duke's final approval hearing is August 27, Call-On-Doc's August 31, Banner's September 10, MemorialCare's September 17 — and payments follow final approval plus any appeal window, which realistically puts checks in late 2026 at the earliest. The deadline that can't wait is the claim itself.
