The covered entity (CE), Navicent Health, Inc., reported that several employees were the victims of an email phishing scheme that affected the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of 404,993 individuals. The PHI involved included names, dates of birth, addresses, Social Security numbers, diagnoses/conditions, medications prescribed, and financial information. The CE notified HHS, affected individuals, the media, and posted substitute breach notice on its website. Complimentary credit monitoring services were also provided. In its mitigation efforts, the CE implemented additional administrative, technical, and security safeguards to better protect its ePHI. In addition, the CE retrained its workforce members on the proper methods of identifying fraudulent email communications.
