MedWatch LLC notifies members whose protected health information was exposed on the internet

Posted on April 18, 2018 by Dissent

Florida-headquartered MedWatch, LLC is a care management company, providing risk management solutions to the self-funded health plan market.  On or about April 13, they started notifying their clients’ health plan members after learning that a vendor misconfiguration error had exposed protected health information between October 20, 2017 and December 15, 2017.

MedWatch did not name the vendor involved. Nor did they disclose how many people had their data exposed on the internet, or who their affected clients were.

You can read the full substitute notice, below.

Although the substitute notice does not mention it, MedWatch is offering those affected 12 months of complimentary identity protection services with ID Experts.
