The covered entity (CE), Integral Health Plan, Inc., discovered on May 15, 2015, that its business associate (BA), Independent Living Solutions LLC, sent Explanation of Benefits (EOBs) information to incorrect network providers. The EOBs contained patients' names, dates of birth, Medicaid identification numbers (if applicable), and diagnosis and procedure codes, affecting 7,549 individuals. The CE had a BA agreement in place with the BA since July 2013. The CE provided breach notification to HHS, affected individuals, and the media, and also posted notice on its website. In response to the breach, the CE provided additional training material to its BA. In addition, the CE and BA revised payment processes to implement a two-step verification process before material is mailed. OCR obtained assurances that the CE implemented the corrective actions listed above.
