OCR description

Doctors HealthCare Plans, the covered entity (CE), reported that an employee was the victim of an email phishing scheme involving the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of 9,766 individuals. The ePHI involved included names and health insurance information. In response to the breach, the CE sanctioned the employee involved, retrained its staff, and implemented new technical safeguards to better protect its sensitive data. The CE notified HHS, affected individuals, the media, and posted substitute notice on its website. OCR obtained assurances that the CE implemented the corrective actions noted.
