  • A proposed settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit, titled Gilbert et al. v. BioPlus Specialty Pharmacy Services, LLC, 6:21-cv-02158-RBD-DCI (“Action”), filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida.
  • This Action arises out of a cybersecurity incident involving BioPlus that occurred between October 25, 2021, and November 11, 2021 (the “Data Incident”). Plaintiffs allege that the Data Incident resulted in unauthorized access by a third party to data stored on BioPlus’s network, and that this included the personally identifiable information (“PII”) and protected health information (“PHI”) of BioPlus’s current and former patients. BioPlus disagrees with Plaintiffs’ claims and denies any wrongdoing.
  • The Settlement Class means all Persons whose personal information was impacted in the Data Incident. The Settlement Class specifically excludes: (i) BioPlus and its respective officers and directors; (ii) all Settlement Class Members who timely and validly request exclusion from the Settlement Class; (iii) the Judge and/or magistrate assigned to evaluate the fairness of this settlement; and (iv) any other Person found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be guilty under criminal law of initiating, causing, aiding, or abetting the Data Incident or who pleads nolo contender to any such charge.
  • The Settlement Class is divided into two groups – those whose Social Security Numbers were impacted in the Data Incident (“SSN Class Members”), and those whose Social Security Numbers were not impacted in the Data Incident (“Non-SSN Class Members”). The available settlement benefits depend upon which group you are in.
  • SSN Class Members may submit a Claim Form for the following benefits from the settlement: (1) $50 cash payment, adjusted up or down depending upon the number of Claims approved, and (2) reimbursement for up to $7,500 for (a) documented out-of-pocket expenses, and (b) up to three (3) hours of lost time spent dealing with the Data Incident (at $25 per hour). You must submit a Claim Form to receive these benefits.
  • Non-SSN Class Members may submit a Claim Form for reimbursement for up to $750 for (a) documented out-of-pocket expenses and (b) reimbursement for up to two (2) hours of lost time spent dealing with the Data Incident (at $25 per hour). You must submit a Claim Form to receive these benefits.
  • Your legal rights are affected regardless of whether you do or do not act. Read this Settlement Website carefully.
  • The Court in charge of this case must still decide whether to approve the settlement, including Class Counsel’s request for attorneys’ fees and expense reimbursement. No settlement benefits will be provided until the Court approves the settlement and it becomes Final.
