Three laptop computers were stolen from the Rockville, MD office of the covered entity (CE), Center for Pain Management. The laptops were unencrypted and two of the devices contained the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of 5,822 individuals.

Identity Force mailed notification letters to all affected individuals and provided identity theft insurance and credit monitoring services for one year.
