Allina Health Will Pay $12.5 Million for Sharing Patient Data Without Consent
By Mike Harper · June 25, 2026
If you’ve ever logged into an Allina Health patient portal, paid a medical bill online through their website, or scheduled an appointment through their digital system, your personal and health-related information may have been shared with third-party companies without your knowledge or consent. A $12.5 million settlement says you may be owed money for it.
Allina Health System — a Minnesota-based healthcare network operating hospitals and clinics across the Upper Midwest — agreed to pay $12.5 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging it used tracking pixel technology on its websites that transmitted patient data to third-party analytics providers. The data potentially included IP addresses, clinical navigation details, and information about which pages patients visited — data that could reveal what conditions they were researching, what appointments they were scheduling, and what bills they were paying.
Approximately 2.5 million people are covered by the settlement.
Who qualifies:
How much you could receive:
The $12.5 million fund is split between two groups. Portal users, bill-pay users, and scheduling users share $10.3 million. Non-portal patients share $2.2 million. The exact per-person amount depends on how many people file claims. The fewer who file, the more each person receives.
How to file a claim:
Submit a claim form at AllinaPixelSettlement.com by September 8, 2026. You can also download the form and mail it to: Allina Pixel Settlement c/o Atticus Administration, PO Box 64053, St. Paul, MN 55164. The claim deadline is firm.
What happens next:
The final approval hearing is scheduled for September 24, 2026. If approved, payments will be issued approximately 90 days after that — meaning checks could arrive by late December 2026 or early January 2027.
Allina Health denies all wrongdoing and has not admitted that the tracking pixels violated any law. The settlement resolves the dispute without a trial.
Scam warning:
No one will call you to process your claim. No one should ask for your Social Security number, bank account information, or a fee to file. The claim form is free and available only at AllinaPixelSettlement.com. Any contact asking for payment to process your claim is fraudulent.
