Group Life Hospital and Medical Program

Anthem, Inc., a business associate (BA) of Group Life Hospital and Medical Program, a health plan offered by Kaman Corporation, the covered entity (CE), experienced a series of cyberattacks which exposed the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of almost 79 million people, affecting 3,000 individuals who received health insurance from the CE and were affected by this breach. The ePHI involved included names, social security numbers, medical identification numbers, addresses, dates of birth, email addresses, and employment information. OCR opened a separate review of Anthem, which resulted in Anthem agreeing to pay a monetary settlement and undertaking a robust corrective action plan to comply with the HIPAA Rules.
