A third-party vendor of Milan Eye Center experienced a data breach that compromised certain patient information after an unauthorized party gained access to information that was maintained by the vendor.

The data, which includes names, Social Security numbers and dates of birth, was accessed between May 18 and July 23, 2020.

The law firm claims that patients who received care from Milan Eye Center before July 23, 2020, may be eligible for compensation, the release said. 

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.
