Posted on September 13, 2011 by Dissent

A Sept. 9 press release/substitute notice from Bonney Lake Medical Center in Washington:

Bonney Lake Medical Center was burglarized on August 12, 2011. The thieves broke into the office and stole password-protected computers including a computer server containing patient information.

There have been no reports indicating that the information has been misused.

Upon discovery of the theft, a police report was filed and ID Experts®, the data breach solutions company, was retained to assist in notifying affected patients and to mitigate potential misuse of patient information.  Notification letters were sent to all affected patients via USPS mail on September 9, 2011.

In addition to notifying all affected patients, Bonney Lake Medical Center is offering one year of fraud resolution services. In the event of misuse of personal information, patients will receive fully-managed victim restoration and insurance reimbursement.
