The covered entity (CE), Clinical Reference Laboratory, Inc., sent a parcel which was damaged and opened during the mailing process by the United States Postal Services (USPS). The protected health information (PHI) involved in the breach included the names, dates of birth, partial social security numbers, and lab test types of approximately 979 individuals residing in multiple states. The CE provided breach notification to HHS and affected individuals. Since multiple breach reports have been received involving the same CE and fact pattern, this investigation was consolidated into one investigation.
