The settlement class is defined as:

“All persons who received medical treatment at a MultiCare facility, who signed MultiCare’s Financial Agreement and Conditions of Treatment forms, and to whose cellular telephone number Hunter Donaldson made a call on behalf of MultiCare through the use of an automatic telephone dialing system or an artificial or prerecorded voice at any time on or after July 7, 2010.”
