The healthcare data breach statistics below only include data breaches of or more records that have been reported to the U. Our healthcare data breach statistics clearly show there has been an upward trend in data breaches over the past 10 years, with seeing more data breaches reported than any other year since records first started being published by OCR. There have also been notable changes over the years in the main causes of breaches.

Better policies and procedures and the use of encryption have helped reduce these easily preventable breaches. Those breaches have resulted in the loss, theft, exposure, or impermissible disclosure of ,, healthcare records.

That equates to more than In , healthcare data breaches of or more records were being reported at a rate of around 1 per day. Fast forward 4 years and the rate has doubled. In , an average of 1. There has been a general upward trend in the number of records exposed each year, with a massive increase in These figures are calculated based on the reporting entity. When a data breach occurs at a business associate, it may be reported by each affected covered entity rather than the business associate, or the business associate may report the breach, with certain covered entities choosing to report the breach themselves.

For instance, in , The electronic health record provider, Eye Care Leaders, suffered a ransomware attack. Each covered entity reported the breach separately. That breach affected more than 25 million individuals. Certain business associate data breaches will therefore not be accurately reflected in the above table. Our healthcare data breach statistics show hacking is now the leading cause of healthcare data breaches, although it should be noted that healthcare organizations are now much better at detecting hacking incidents.

Many of the hacking incidents between occurred many months, and in some cases years, before they were detected. As with hacking, healthcare organizations are getting better at detecting insider breaches and reporting those breaches to the Office for Civil Rights.

These incidents consist of errors by employees, negligence, and acts by malicious insiders. The number of reported breaches appears to have now plateaued. Our healthcare data breach statistics show that HIPAA-covered entities and business associates have gotten significantly better at protecting healthcare records with administrative, physical, and technical controls such as encryption, although unencrypted laptops and other electronic devices are still being left unsecured in vehicles and locations accessible by the public.

HIPAA requires healthcare data, whether in physical or electronic form, to be permanently destroyed when no longer required. The improper disposal of PHI is a relatively infrequent breach cause and typically involves paper records that have not been sent for shredding or have been abandoned. Listed below are the healthcare data breaches of or more records by the entity that reported the breaches. It should be noted that data breaches at business associates may be self-reported, but could be reported by each affected covered entity.

The number of data breaches at business associates has been increasing, even not taking this reporting discrepancy into account.

The table below shows the data breaches by the reporting entity.

Schneiderman announced today that his office has reached a settlement with EmblemHealth, Inc.

The federal Affordable Care Act provides that families can keep their children on their family health policy until the child turns Shortly after she turned 26, the daughter received inpatient treatment, but weeks later, Emblem denied coverage, stating that she did not have insurance at the time of her hospitalization.

The investigation showed that Emblem failed to send statutorily required letters to more than 8, Emblem members between and Of these members, almost 1, were not even notified that their coverage had been terminated. EmblemHealth has agreed to send letters to affected members offering to reinstate coverage, and to reprocess and pay all unpaid claims of members who did not receive proper Age 29 notification.

But without notice of their rights under the Age 29 Law, young adults in New York have faced limited options for health coverage. The Office of Attorney General's website is provided in English.

The settlement also requires the health insurance plan -- which has 3. Further information about the earlier cases can be found here and here. Under this settlement, improved services will be available to the millions of New Yorkers who are members of EmblemHealth plans.

My office will make sure that everyone, including big insurance companies, play by the rules. The federal Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, enacted in , prohibits health plans from imposing greater financial requirements or treatment limitations on mental health or substance use disorder benefits than on medical or surgical benefits. Mental and emotional well-being is essential to overall health. Every year, almost one in four New Yorkers has symptoms of a mental disorder, but less than half of those people receive treatment.

Under the agreement, EmblemHealth has agreed to provide members with an independent review of claims or requests that were denied as not medically necessary from through present, and to reimburse members for residential treatment costs that the plan did not pay due to its exclusion of coverage for this service. Since , this has resulted in thousands of its members not receiving coverage for care requested by their doctors and therapists.

The disparity is especially pronounced in more intensive levels of care. EmblemHealth excluded this type of treatment while covering similar treatment -- skilled nursing, for example -- for medical conditions. In one case, EmblemHealth denied coverage of residential treatment for a young woman with a severe case of anorexia nervosa, a potentially life-threatening condition.

In fact, Emblem members who are suffering from life-threatening withdrawal require a more intensive level of care than rehabilitation, including medically managed inpatient detoxification.

For example, Emblem improperly denied a request for coverage of substance abuse rehabilitation because the member had not recently failed an outpatient program. Members will be notified by Emblem of their eligibility for independent review of eligible claims. EmblemHealth also charges some members the higher, specialist co-payment for psychotherapy, which can deter members from seeking treatment. To assist members in accessing their behavioral health benefits, EmblemHealth will appoint full-time behavioral health advocates to help members cut through red tape, and will provide information regarding claims review and treatment options.
