Subject: Stolen Laptop
On January 4, 2016, Centers Plan for Healthy Living learned that on or about January 1, 2016 a laptop was stolen from its corporate offices. It is suspected that the laptop may have contained a file which included the name, address, date of birth, Medicaid number and/or Medicare number, if applicable, of certain beneficiaries. The files did not contain any treatment or diagnosis information or any financial or credit card information. It is believed that the laptop was taken for the value of its parts and not the aforementioned information. The police were immediately notified, but they were unable to retrieve the laptop. There is no indication that the information was disclosed or misused.
Although no financial information was included, beneficiaries are being advised to be aware of any suspicious activity and to monitor their credit reports and financial accounts. Credit monitoring services are being provided to those beneficiaries whose Medicare number may have been exposed. In addition, additional security protections are being implemented on internal computer equipment to protect against future incidents.
If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact us at 1-855-411-7060, 9am to 5pm, Monday through Friday.
