An unencrypted laptop computer containing the protected health information (PHI) of 652 individuals was stolen from an employee of RSC Insurance Brokerage, a business associate (BA) of Providence Health Plan, the covered entity (CE). The types of PHI involved in the incident included claims information, names, dates of birth, and clinical information. The CE provided breach notification to HHS, potentially affected individuals, and the media, as well as substitute notice. OCR obtained assurances that the CE implemented these corrective actions and determined that no further action is required.
