4 Recent Breaches in the News Recent Breaches and their Costs! Experts: Lack of HIPAA basics cost BCBST $18.5 million Basic compliance 101 policies, training, monitoring, and risk assessments may have saved Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee (BCBST) millions, experts say. Instead, the health insurer agreed to a $1.5 million settlement with the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) over potential HIPAA security violations and spent another $17 million in breach response costs. In the fall of 2009, BCBST reported to OCR that 57 unencrypted computer hard drives were stolen from a leased facility in Tennessee. The hard drives contained protected health information (PHI) for more than one million individuals, including member names, Social Security numbers, diagnosis codes, birthdates, and health plan identification numbers.
5 WHY SHOULD I CARE? OCR's investigation of Phoenix Cardiac Surgery PC (2 physician practice) pcsurgery_agreement.pdf failed to implement adequate policies and procedures to appropriately safeguard patient information; failed to document that it trained any employees on its policies and procedures on the Privacy and Security Rules; failed to identify a security official and conduct a risk analysis failed to obtain business associate agreements with Internet- based and calendar services where the provision of the service included storage of and access to its ephi. Corrective Action Plan required Penalty - $100,000 Reputation Impact?
