Banner Health Inc.’s $8.9 million deal to end claims tied to a 2016 data breach gained final approval from a federal judge in Arizona. The settlement, approved by Judge Susan Bolton of the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona April 21, will pay up to $500 to each class member and up to $2.9 million to plaintiffs’ attorneys. The breach exposed personal information of the hospital operator’s 2.9 million patients and beneficiaries, including Social Security numbers and health and payment data.
