1 <March XX, 2015> <FIRST NAME> <LAST NAME> <ADDRESS LINE 1> <ADDRESS LINE 2> <CITY>, <STATE> <ZIP> Dear <FIRST NAME> <LAST NAME>: You are receiving this letter because computer thieves or hackers previously gained access to a computer system at Premera Blue Cross, where some of your personal information was stored. Please read through this letter for details, including specific steps you can take right away to protect yourself from possible identity theft. Please note that you should receive a follow-up letter in coming days directly from Premera, providing you with additional information. How this Happened This all began on January 29 when Premera discovered that someone had broken into its computer system. Although Premera believes the hackers actions may have started on May 5, 2014, their attack was not detected until January 29. The hackers were able to access certain personal information that Premera has collected over the past 13 years in order to process health insurance or health plan claims for millions of Americans. Premera has stated that it waited until March 17 to inform our company and others about the cyber attack because it was advised that, before going public with this information, Premera needed to take the time to cleanse its computer systems and take other steps to try to keep the hackers from doing further harm. Your personal information is involved because you received health care services from a doctor, hospital or other health care provider who filed a claim with Premera. Even though your health plan benefits are or were directly administered by our company, Premera helped process health plan claims whenever you received health care services in the states of Washington or Alaska, where Premera operates. What kind of Personal Information this Involves The specific kinds of personal information that the Premera hackers may have accessed include your name, address, telephone number, date of birth, health plan identification number, Social Security number (if it is or was part of your health plan identification number or patient identifier), address (if you provided it to Premera) and health plan or insurance claims information, including medical information. How to Protect Yourself in this Situation Premera has stated that its investigation has not determined that any data was removed from Premera s computer systems, nor does Premera have evidence at this time that any of the data has been used inappropriately. It is possible that nothing will happen to you as a result of this incident. However, you should be looking out for any suspicious activity involving your name or account numbers. Premera is offering two years of credit monitoring and identity theft protection services at no charge to you. Specifically, Premera will provide you a free two-year membership in Experian s ProtectMyID Alert (for adults) or Experian s Family Secure (for minors) to help detect possible misuse of your personal information and provide you with identity protection services focused on immediate identification and resolution of identity theft.
