SUPERIOR COURT OF DURHAM COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
If, between October 1, 2019 through March 31, 2023, you obtained or had medical records obtained on your behalf by a legal representative through MRO Corporation, you may be entitled to benefits from a class action Settlement.
A North Carolina State Court authorized this Notice. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.
- This Notice informs you of a proposed settlement in a class action lawsuit filed by Leland Davis (“Plaintiff”) against MRO Corporation (“Defendant”). Plaintiff alleged that Defendant unlawfully charged fees for medical records that exceeded the amounts set forth in the North Carolina Medical Record Fee Act, N.C.G.S. § 90-411. The Settlement resolves the lawsuit. Defendant denies that it did anything wrong or unlawful, including any liability to Plaintiff and to the members of the Settlement Class.
- If you are included in the Settlement, you may qualify to receive compensation.
Settlement Class: For the period of time between October 1, 2019 through March 31, 2023 (“Relevant Time Period”), all North Carolina residents who (a) requested medical records from a North Carolina medical provider, (b) were sent an Invoice, and (c) paid amounts, or had amounts paid on their behalf, to MRO in excess of those allowed under the North Carolina Medical Record Fee Act, N.C.G.S. § 90-411 (“Excess Fees”)
- If you are a member of the Class, your legal rights are affected whether you act or do not act. Read this Notice carefully.
