Insider breaches are everywhere in the healthcare sector, it seems. I was just reading a news story about medical ID theft, and noticed another case mentioned that I had not known about:
Investigators have seen employees inside health care offices with access to all the patients personal information stealing it, which happened at Health Sports and Rehab (sic*) physical therapy office in Dorchester.
Court records obtained by the I-Team show Laverne Miskel pled guilty to stealing personal information while interning there.
Owner Andrew Watson said Miskel worked in tandem with a boyfriend on the outside to create bogus checks.
I can find no other media reference to this incident or any other coverage.
* I think they may be referring to Health & Sports Rehab.
