The covered entity (CE), Julieta Y. Echeverria, DDS, reported that her office was burglarized and documents that contained the protected health information (PHI) of 529 individuals, were stolen. The PHI involved included names, dates of birth, diagnoses/conditions, Social Security numbers, and other treatment information. The CE notified HHS, affected individuals, the media, local law enforcement, and provided substitute notice. Complimentary identity theft protection services were also provided. In its mitigation efforts, the CE implemented additional physical safeguards and retrained its workforce members.
