The UCHealth lawsuit in the news is Miller v. University of Colorado Health, a proposed class action filed in federal court in Denver on August 5, 2026. It alleges that UCHealth’s website, including its “Find a Doctor” tool, and possibly its My Health Connection patient portal sent patients’ searches to Meta through the Facebook pixel. UCHealth disputes the claims. As of October 6, 2026 there is no settlement, no fund and no claim form. A separate, older UCHealth data breach case over a vendor hack has already settled.

What the Lawsuit Says Happened
UCHealth’s patient portal is called My Health Connection. The complaint describes it as built on Epic’s MyChart platform, which is why people search for a “UCHealth MyChart lawsuit.” Epic is not a defendant, and neither is Meta.
The lawsuit alleges that UCHealth placed the Meta/Facebook tracking pixel on its website, including the Find a Doctor tool, where people search for physicians, specialties, clinics, appointments, procedures and symptoms. It alleges those searches were copied to Meta together with identifiers such as IP addresses, device and browser identifiers, cookie identifiers and Facebook-linked identifiers.
For the portal, the complaint is more cautious: it alleges “upon information and belief” that the pixel or similar technology ran on some or all My Health Connection pages. The complaint states that “the purpose and result of defendant’s use of the tracking Pixel was marketing and profits.” These are allegations, not findings.
Case Details
Miller v. University of Colorado Health, No. 1:26-cv-03562, U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado, filed August 5, 2026 and assigned to Judge Kathryn A. Starnella. The single claim is under the federal Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2510 et seq. (the federal wiretap law). The plaintiff, a UCHealth patient from Larimer County who used the website and the patient portal, demands a jury and asks to represent a class. UCHealth was served on August 10, 2026, with an answer due August 31, 2026, according to the docket. The complaint is public on CourtListener.
Status: Early Stage, No Settlement
The other UCHealth data breach case is over. Petillo v. Diligent Corp. & University of Colorado Health, No. 1:23-cv-02439 in the Southern District of New York, covered a hack of the software vendor Diligent that Diligent discovered around November 9, 2022. A class settlement was put before the court in December 2023, and the docket shows the case closed on June 14, 2024. There is nothing left to file.

Who Could Be in the Proposed Class
The proposed class is people whose communications on UCHealth’s website, especially the Find a Doctor tool, or on the My Health Connection portal were allegedly sent to Meta. The complaint says UCHealth serves nearly 3 million patients per year. No court has defined or approved a class.
You do not need to sign up. If a class is certified or a settlement is reached, a court-appointed administrator gives notice. Things worth noting now: whether you used the Find a Doctor search or My Health Connection, what you did there (searched a condition, booked, messaged), and roughly when you last used it. The form on this page asks exactly those three things.
For the Diligent vendor breach, UCHealth reported that 48,879 people were affected. That case is closed.
What a Case Like This Could Pay
Resolved hospital pixel cases on our MyChart claim form tracker show the range: Banner Health, a Weld County, Colorado case covering about 1,028,000 people, offered $20 cash plus a year of identity protection. Doe v. SSM Health paid $31.50 per valid claim. Doe v. Wellstar set up a $4,250,000 fund for about 870,000 people, divided pro rata. For a rough estimate, see the MyChart settlement calculator.
The settled Diligent case had a $490,000 fund with up to $3,000 for extraordinary losses, up to $500 for out-of-pocket losses, or a cash payment initially set at $50.00. For breach cases generally, try the data breach settlement calculator.
How cases like this one end
Our copy of the federal courts’ own case database covers 80,165 other statutory actions casesclosed in U.S. federal district courts between 2015 and 2025, 11.8% of them filed as class actions:
- 26% ended in a settlement recorded by the court. Another 22.4% were dismissed voluntarily, which often follows a private settlement — so the real settlement share sits between 26% and 48.4%.
- 7.4% were decided on a motion before any trial.
- 1 in 155 reached a trial (0.6%), after a median of 22 months.
- Median time from filing to the end of the case: 5 months.
- Only 1,717 of them (2.1%) record a money award at all; the median of those is $195,000.
These are base rates for this type of case (federal other statutory actions cases) — not a prediction about this lawsuit, and not legal advice. Source: Federal Judicial Center, Integrated Database (civil), analysed by Settlement Insight. Cases heard in state courts are not included.

Three Things to Watch For
A fresh hospital pixel lawsuit and an old settlement under the same name create easy openings:
“Claim your UCHealth pixel settlement”
There is no settlement in the Meta pixel case. A site or message asking for your My Health Connection login, date of birth or Social Security number to “secure a payment” is collecting data, not filing a claim.
Reused Diligent settlement notices
The Diligent case closed in June 2024. A message today saying you can still claim from it, or that a check is waiting if you pay a fee, is not from the court-approved administrator.
Fake portal alerts
Emails or texts styled as My Health Connection or MyChart notices that link to a login page about “the lawsuit” are a phishing pattern. Open the portal from the UCHealth app or by typing the address yourself.
UCHealth Lawsuit — Questions People Actually Ask
Is there a UCHealth MyChart lawsuit?
Yes, in substance. Miller v. University of Colorado Health, No. 1:26-cv-03562 in the District of Colorado, filed August 5, 2026, alleges the Meta pixel ran on UCHealth’s website and, on information and belief, on its My Health Connection portal, which is built on Epic’s MyChart.
Is there a UCHealth settlement or claim form for the Meta pixel case?
No. As of October 6, 2026, the case is at an early stage with no settlement, fund, administrator, claim form or deadline. If that changes, class members are notified by a court-appointed administrator.
What does the UCHealth lawsuit claim was shared?
It alleges that searches in the Find a Doctor tool, such as physicians, specialties, appointments, procedures and symptoms, were sent to Meta along with IP addresses, device identifiers and Facebook-linked identifiers. UCHealth disagrees with the claims.
Was there a UCHealth data breach?
Yes. A hack of the vendor Diligent, discovered around November 9, 2022, affected 48,879 people, according to UCHealth’s report to HHS. The resulting class action, Petillo v. Diligent Corp., had a proposed $490,000 settlement fund, and the docket shows it closed on June 14, 2024.
Can I still file a claim in the Diligent settlement?
No. That case closed in June 2024. Anyone offering to file a Diligent or UCHealth breach claim for you now is not acting for the court.
Do I have to do anything to join the Meta pixel case?
No. If a class is certified, members are included unless they opt out. For your own records, note whether you used the website’s Find a Doctor tool or My Health Connection, what you did there and when you last used it.
How much could I get?
Nobody knows yet. The complaint seeks statutory damages of the greater of $100 per day or $10,000, but that is a demand. Comparable hospital pixel settlements have paid much smaller amounts per person, such as $20 in the Banner Health case and $31.50 in the SSM Health case.
Is Meta or Epic being sued?
No. The only defendant in Miller is University of Colorado Health. Meta received the data, according to the complaint, and Epic makes the MyChart software, but neither is named.
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.
