Over 200,000 confidential Medicaid records improperly acquired

No, it’s not Utah, but I can understand why you’d think that. The headline is referring to a totally different Medicaid breach – this one in South Carolina. Jeffrey Collins of Associated Press reports:

The agency that runs South Carolina’s Medicaid program says an employee improperly transferred information about more than 228,000 people to a private email account.

Health and Human Services Director Anthony Keck said Thursday the man has been fired. His name was not released.

Keck says an investigation earlier this month showed the information was transferred to at least one other person.
