TX: State sues defunct health care management firm after health records found in recycling bin

Posted on November 24, 2015 by Dissent

Patrick Danner reports:

A defunct home health care management company that was based in San Antonio has been sued by the state over clients’ personal information found in a recycling container at Stevenson Middle School.

Files belonging to Alliance Health Management & Consulting Inc. were recovered by Northside Independent School District police officers on July 14, 2014, and eventually were turned over to the Texas attorney general’s office, according to a lawsuit filed against the company.

A spokeswoman for the attorney general’s office, which filed the suit on Nov. 13 in Bexar County District Court, said it does not comment on ongoing litigation, so it couldn’t be determined just how many of the company’s one-time clients may have had their personal information left in the recycling container.

Those of you who have been following the FTC v. LabMD case may want to read the complaint in this case, Texas v. Olvedo, as there are certain similarities in the sense that neither the FTC nor Texas claimed that any individual had actually been injured. Texas’s case seems stronger, though, because of actual statutes as opposed to guidelines on data security and disposal of data.
