Our notes: Two settlement classes, both people who bought, leased or rented medical equipment, supplies or other products from AdaptHealth or its Family of Companies. Class A (Billing Claim Class): people who returned, rejected or did not receive the equipment and were billed for dates of service between April 3, 2019 and April 3, 2025 when they did not have it, who lived in North Carolina when at least one bill was sent; AdaptHealth's records identify 464 such people. Class A members must file a claim to get $3,500. Class C (Collection Letter Claim Class): people sent a 'Seriously Past Due' or 'Final Demand' letter suggesting possible legal action, for dates of service between April 3, 2019 and March 31, 2026, who lived in North Carolina when the letter was sent; the records identify 142,539 such people. Class C members who got a notice by mail or email are paid $47 automatically; those who did not get a notice must file a claim. A third class (Class B, late fees) gets no money. Excluded: the judges, AdaptHealth and its subsidiaries and affiliates and their past, present and future officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, attorneys and others listed in the notice, people who opt out, and the legal representatives, successors, assigns or immediate family of excluded people.
