About Women OB/Gyn, PC is a Northern Virginia medical practice providing obstetric and gynecologic care. Patients commonly give the practice identity, insurance, billing, contact, and medical information so clinicians can schedule visits, document treatment, submit claims, and coordinate care. That ordinary healthcare relationship explains why the data involved in this incident may combine financial identifiers with sensitive medical information.
About Women says it noticed unusual activity in its network environment on or about December 7, 2025. Its investigation found that an unauthorized individual may have viewed and copied certain information between December 1 and December 7. The practice then reviewed the affected files and finished that review on August 13, 2026. It began notifying potentially affected people on August 27.
The practice says the information differed by person and may include names, birth dates, financial-account numbers and access information, medical-record numbers, Medicare or Medicaid numbers, health-insurance identifiers, medical information, patient account numbers, Social Security numbers, military identification numbers, payment-card numbers, and passport numbers. An individual notice is the best source for what About Women identified for a particular person.
Attorneys are investigating whether a class action could be filed and are asking notice recipients and others who believe they were affected to come forward. No filed complaint, certified class, settlement fund, payment amount, or court-approved deadline appears in the reviewed record. Requesting an attorney review is not an official claim, does not create an attorney-client relationship by itself, and does not guarantee compensation.
Who qualifies
- You received an About Women OB/Gyn data-privacy-event notice dated August 27, 2026.

Frequently asked questions
Has a class action lawsuit been filed against About Women OB-Gyn?
The reviewed sources describe an attorney investigation, not a filed lawsuit. No complaint, certified class, settlement, or court-approved claims process was identified as of September 2, 2026.
What information may have been involved?
About Women says the information varied by person and may include identity, financial, insurance, patient-account, and medical information. Your individual notice is the best source for the specific fields associated with you.
Does the notice say the information was misused?
About Women said it was not aware of actual or attempted misuse to perpetrate fraud when it issued the notice. That statement is not a guarantee that misuse cannot occur later.
What does joining the investigation mean?
It means asking an attorney to review your facts and possibly provide information relevant to whether a lawsuit should be filed. It is not an official court claim, does not itself make you a client, and does not guarantee a recovery.
Is free credit monitoring available?
The individual notice says About Women is offering 12 months of single-bureau credit monitoring and fraud assistance through Cyberscout to eligible recipients. Enrollment requires the unique code in the letter and must occur within 90 days of the letter date.
