Why is there a settlement?
The consolidated lawsuit Miller v. NextGen Healthcare Inc., Case No. 1:23-cv-02043-TWT, alleges that NextGen failed to safeguard patient data, leading to a third-party cyberattack. While the company denies wrongdoing, both sides agreed to the $19.375 million settlement to avoid the costs and uncertainty of continued litigation.
