The covered entity (CE), offices of Alexander J. Tikhtman, M.D., lost an unencrypted flash drive containing the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of 2,376 individuals. The flash drive was not recovered. The ePHI included patient's names, treatment and diagnostic information, and in some instances, dates of birth and social security numbers. The CE provided breach notification to the affected individuals, HHS, and the media. It also established a dedicated call center for questions related to the breach and offered free credit monitoring and identity theft services to individuals whose social security numbers were breached. The CE updated its privacy and security policies and procedures relating to the use, storage, and transmission of PHI. OCR obtained assurances that the CE completed the corrective action listed above. \ \
