Bay Area Heart Center Data Breach:
Lawsuit Investigation
Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are looking into whether a class action lawsuit can be filed in light of the data breach affecting Bay Area Heart Center.
As part of their investigation, they need to hear from individuals who received a notice stating they were impacted.
Bay Area Heart Center, located in Florida, is currently informing patients about a recent data breach that occurred with its third-party business associate, Bowden Barlow Law, P.A. The breach was the result of a cybersecurity attack.
An investigation revealed that the compromised patient information may have included names, addresses, full or partial Social Security numbers, dates of service, limited claims data, and insurance policy numbers. A total of 11,709 patients have been affected, as reported to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Bay Area Heart Center's website clarifies that only records that were referred for collections were impacted by the data breach.
If your information was exposed in the breach, attorneys want to hear from you. You may be able to start a class action lawsuit to recover compensation for loss of privacy, time spent dealing with the breach, out-of-pocket costs, and more.
A successful case could also force Bay Area Heart Center to ensure it takes proper steps to protect the information it was entrusted with.
