Posted on May 12, 2016 by Dissent

The following statement was posted by Florida Medical Clinic, PA on their web site. The incident was reported to HHS on May 4 as impacting 1,000 patients.

Please be advised from November 18th, 2015 to January 6th, 2016 your Florida Medical Clinic, PA patient due balance statement (sample statement attached) was accessible to industrial account patients who logged onto the Patient Portal.

THE STATEMENT DID NOT INCLUDE SSN, DOB, CREDIT CARD NUMBERS, OR BANKING INFORMATION.

The statement was limited to the following information:

  • Name
  • Date of service
  • Provider
  • Description of procedure
  • Charges due
  • Mailing address

Upon investigation, Florida Medical Clinic, PA discovered a setting was turned on by our Patient Portal vendor Greenway Health. Florida Medical Clinic, PA immediately shut down the setting and the issue is now resolved.  Please know Florida Medical Clinic, PA takes these matters very seriously and has implemented additional protocols with Greenway Health to prevent any further occurrences.

Florida Medical Clinic, PA has no indication that any of your information was negatively impacted; however, in order to protect yourself from potential harm resulting from this incident, you may want to obtain and monitor your credit report.  The Fair Credit Reporting Act guarantees you access to your credit report for free from each of the three (3) nationwide credit reporting companies-Experian, Equifax and TransUnion, every twelve (12) months.
