Fallon Ambulance Services (Fallon), a former subsidiary of Transformative Healthcare, the covered entity (CE), reported that it experienced a ransomware attack that compromised the protected health information (PHI) of 911,757 individuals. The PHI involved included names, addresses, birthdates, drivers’ license and Social Security numbers, diagnoses, lab results, medications, and claims and other treatment information. The CE notified HHS, affected individuals, the media, and provided substitute notice. In its mitigation efforts, the CE provided complimentary identity protection services to affected individuals. Fallon ceased medical transportation operations; therefore, OCR closed the case.
