BASIC INFORMATION

The Court ordered us to send you a Notice because your fax number is contained on a list of fax numbers to which an alleged advertisement was sent by fax and you appear to be a member of the Settlement Class.

Plaintiff Progressive Health and Rehab Corp. (“Plaintiff”) filed this class action lawsuit alleging that Defendants Indegene, , Indegene Encima, Inc., Indegene Wincere Incorporated, and Indegene Healthcare, LLC (“Defendants”) violated the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”), 47 U.S.C. § 227, by sending advertisements to the Settlement Class by fax without express invitation or permission. The Defendants deny Plaintiff’s allegations, deny any wrongdoing occurred, and raised defenses. The Court certified the case as a class action so that the claims about Defendants’ faxes sent on or about February 7, 2020, could be resolved class-wide in this single lawsuit. Plaintiff seeks money damages for every Settlement Class member. Your fax number was identified in discovery as having been sent a fax.

The settlement class is defined as: All persons or entities who were successfully sent a Fax, on or about February 7, 2020, that states “Medical Record Review of the Impact of Adverse Events Associated with the Use of Current anti-Parkinson’s Disease Medications on Patient Clinical Therapeutics and Outcomes Trajectories in the U.S.” and offers an honorarium of $250 per eligible patient.  Excluded from the Settlement Class are Defendants, any parent, subsidiary, affiliate or controlled persons of Defendants, as well as the officers, directors, members, managers, agents, servants or employees of Defendants and the immediate family members of such persons, and the Court and its officers.

The Court has not decided in favor of Plaintiff or Defendants. Instead, both sides have agreed to a settlement and memorialized such settlement in a Settlement Agreement filed in the above captioned By agreeing to a settlement, the parties avoid the costs and uncertainty of a trial, and if the settlement is approved by the Court, Settlement Class members will receive the benefits set forth in the proposed Settlement Agreement. The proposed settlement does not mean that any law was broken or that Defendants did anything wrong. The Defendants deny all legal claims in this case. The parties, however, believe that the proposed settlement is best for anyone who is affected.

Without admitting any fault or liability, and in exchange for a release of all claims against them, Defendants have agreed to make up to $4,717,250 (the “Settlement Fund”) available to pay those Settlement Class members who submit a valid claim form (attached), to pay an incentive award to Plaintiff for serving as the class representative, to pay attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses to Plaintiff’s attorneys, and to pay the costs of class notice and claims administration. The claim form is attached. If the Court approves the settlement, all of the Class members who submit a valid and timely Proof of Claim Form (attached) will be mailed a check for $250.00, unless the total claims are such that after payment of attorney’s fees, expenses, and incentive payment of $15,000.00 would exceed the amount of the Settlement Fund, in which case claiming Class member will receive a pro rate share of the fund. The Court has preliminarily approved this settlement, subject to a fairness hearing that will occur on January 12, 2027, at 10:00 m., in Room 4D, United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, Mitchell H. Cohen Building, 4th & Cooper Streets, Camden, New Jersey 08101.

Settlement Class Members who submit a timely, valid, complete, and verified Claim Form will receive a settlement payment of up to $250.  If the total validated claims after payment of attorney’s fees, expenses, and incentive payment of $15,000.00 would exceed the amount of the Settlement Fund, validated claimants will receive a pro rata share of the Settlement Fund.

1. Return a completed Claim Form: To receive a share of the Settlement Fund, you must complete and return a signed Claim Form postmarked or submitted on or before December 9, 2026. In order to be deemed a member of the Settlement Class, the facsimile number(s) you list on the Claim Form must include a facsimile number that was deemed to have received a successful facsimile from Defendants. The Claim Form is available here. The Claim Form can be submitted by fax, mail, or electronically, and must be completed in full. If approved, you will be mailed a check for your share of the Settlement Fund.

2. Do nothing. If you do nothing, you will remain in the Settlement Class, be bound by any judgment entered by the Court, and any claims you may have against Defendants related to the predicate facts alleged in this lawsuit, including Defendants’ faxes sent on or about February 7, 2020 will be deemed released, but you will receive no payment.
