On Nov. 3, 2023, Mulkay filed a notice of data breach for the incident, which occurred Sept. 1-5, 2023, and affected 79,582 people.
The breach allegedly compromised sensitive patient information, including Social Security numbers and health insurance data.
Though the practice has agreed to pay a sum to resolve allegations, it has not admitted wrongdoing.
Under the terms of the settlement, patients can receive reimbursement for data breach-related expenses, including unreimbursed bank fees, communication charges, travel expenses, credit-related costs and up to three hours of lost time at a rate of $25 per hour.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
