The Center for Sports Medicine and Orthopedics (CSMO), the covered entity (CE), reported that its business associate (BA), CoPilot, was hacked and the unauthorized individual gained access to one of its databases. This breach affected 800 individuals and the electronic protected health information (ePHI) involved included names, dates of birth, addresses, phone numbers, health insurance information, and Social Security numbers. CoPilot provided notification to the media and all affected individuals. In response to the incident, CoPilot added additional technical safeguards and physical security measures to protect its health information. In addition, it moved all ePHI to a new server and retrained its staff. OCR obtained assurances that CoPilot implemented the corrective actions noted above.
