OCR description

Original Medicare, the covered entity (CE), reported that it impermissibly disclosed the protected health information of 9,964 individuals. The PHI involved included names, addresses, dates of birth, diagnoses, health insurance information, and treatment information. The CE notified HHS, affected individuals, the media, and provided substitute notice. In its mitigation efforts, the CE implemented additional technical safeguards to better protect its PHI. On the guidance of OCR, the CE updated its risk analysis process and procedures.
