Prestera Center for Mental Health Services

The covered entity (CE), Prestera Center for Mental Health Services, reported that several employees were the victims of an email phishing scheme that affected the protected health information (PHI) of 2,152 individuals. The PHI involved included names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, claims and financial information, diagnoses, and other treatment information. The CE notified HHS, affected individuals, the media, and provided substitute notice. In its mitigation efforts, the CE provided complimentary credit monitoring services and implemented additional administrative and technical safeguards to better protect its PHI. In addition, the CE retrained its workforce members on email security.
