The PHI involved included names, addresses, dates of birth, drivers’ license numbers, Social Security numbers, claims and financial information, diagnoses, laboratory results, and medication information. The CE notified HHS, affected individuals, the media, and posted substitute notice on its website. Following the breach, the CE terminated its contract with the BA.
