Standard Modern Company, the business associate (BA), reported that it inadvertently mailed the protected health information (PHI) of 2,707 individuals to the wrong recipients. The PHI involved included names, member identification numbers, Social Security numbers, and date of births. The BA notified HHS, affected individuals, the media, and provided substitute notice. In its mitigation efforts, the BA provided free credit monitoring services and implemented additional administrative and technical safeguards and quality assurance procedures to prevent this issue from reoccurring.
