On January 5, 2010, BCBSRI was notified that a 16 page report pertaining to Brown University's health plan was impermissibly disclosed to two other BCBSRI agents. The reports contained the PHI of approximately 528 individuals. The PHI involved: first and last names, dates of service, cost of medical care provided, and member identification numbers. Following the breach, BCBSRI recovered the reports, received written assurances that any electronic copies of the reports were deleted, notified affected individuals of the breach, implemented new procedure for all outgoing correspondence, and is in the process of auditing all affected members' claim history to ensure no fraud.
