The CE notified HHS, affected individuals, the media, and provided substitute notice. A phone number was provided for questions or concerns. Complimentary identity theft protection services were provided to affected individuals. In its mitigation efforts, the CE implemented additional administrative, technical, and security safeguards to better protect its ePHI. OCR provided technical assistance to the CE.
