Class action lawsuit led by the AADJ alleges that Epic used its dominant position in the EHR market to intentionally fragment and restrict patient access to medical records, particularly harming disabled individuals seeking Social Security disability benefits. Plaintiffs argue that Epic’s MyChart portal architecture forces patients to navigate multiple separate logins across providers rather than allowing seamless aggregation of records, undermining federal interoperability laws. The suit seeks injunctive relief, treble damages, and structural reforms to Epic’s data access practices.
