Our notes: The lawsuit claimed patients were not clearly told about possible out-of-pocket costs for Natera's Panorama noninvasive prenatal test and Horizon carrier screening; Natera denies it. Per the settlement website, the class certified on September 2, 2026 is all persons in the United States who had one of those tests performed by Natera and were billed more than $249 (prenatal test without microdeletions), $349 (prenatal test with microdeletions) or $349 (carrier screening), between July 10, 2019 through September 2, 2026. Notice IDs starting with A mean Natera's records show payment above those amounts; IDs starting with B mean they do not. The settlement also resolves the related Copley v. Natera case in San Mateo County Superior Court. The website's FAQ does not list exclusions; read the Settlement Agreement for the full definition.
