OCR description
OCR opened an investigation of the covered entity (CE), Dr. Pedro Valentin, after it reported boxes containing the protected health information (PHI) of 2,000 individuals were moved from the CE's office. The PHI included names, account numbers, responsible party in charge of account, and method of payment. OCR's investigation revealed that the individual who removed the PHI was the CE's wife and business partner. The CE advised OCR that he knew his wife/partner was removing the boxes for the purpose of ascertaining the amount of monies the CE was receiving and that he is in the process of dissolving the partnership. OCR concluded that the actions alleged in the breach report did not amount to a breach.
