Do I qualify?
You may be eligible if any of the following apply to you:
- You received a data breach notification letter from Brown Health Medical Group-MA or Lifespan Physician Group of Massachusetts, Inc.
- You are a patient of Brown Health Medical Group-MA or one of its affiliated physician practices.
- You are a Massachusetts or Vermont resident whose information may have been held by the practice.
What Happened
According to a report filed with the Vermont Attorney General’s Office on July 16, 2026, Lifespan Physician Group of Massachusetts, Inc. — which does business as Brown Health Medical Group-MA — experienced a data breach that may have exposed the sensitive personal, financial, and health information entrusted to it by its patients.
The incident affected at least 290,357 residents of Massachusetts and 86 residents of Vermont. The total number of individuals affected across all states, when the unauthorized access occurred, and how the incident took place have not been publicly disclosed.
Brown Health Medical Group-MA operates as part of the Brown University Health system, an integrated academic health network serving Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts.
What Information Was Exposed
The breach may have compromised a broad range of sensitive information, including:
- Social Security numbers
- Financial account codes
- Credit and debit account information
- Government-issued identification numbers
- Driver’s license numbers
- Health and medical records
Because this data combines identifying, financial, and medical details, affected individuals may face a heightened risk of identity theft, financial fraud, medical identity theft, and targeted phishing or scam attempts.
What You May Be Able to Recover
If a class action is filed and succeeds, affected individuals may be able to recover compensation for:
- Loss of privacy
- Time spent responding to the breach
- Out-of-pocket costs
- Other related harms
A successful case can also press Brown Health Medical Group-MA to strengthen how it protects the information entrusted to it.
