Change Healthcare Security Breach

What you need to know.
 
In February 2024, a significant cybersecurity incident occurred at Change Healthcare, a
subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group. This breach exposed sensitive information, including
personal health information, social security numbers, and insurance details of millions of
Americans. The breach disrupted healthcare billing and operations across a large network,
affecting over 1.6 million healthcare professionals and 70,000 pharmacies. This breach
DID NOT occur at Cadillac Family Physicians; however, your personal data may be at risk. 

Key Issues and Impacts
• The breach compromised sensitive data such as personal health information, social
security numbers, and insurance details.

  • The attack affected healthcare providers’ ability to process claims, potentially impacting
    patient care.
  • The breach highlighted compliance failures, particularly in not meeting HIPAA
    requirements for data security.

Measures Taken by Change Healthcare
Change Healthcare recently mailed notices to affected individuals regarding the breach. As
a safeguard, you may enroll, at no cost to you, in online credit monitoring and identity
restoration services provided by IDX for two years.

Staying Healthy – Your Wellness Visit Explained

Medicare has the annual benefit of a wellness visit. This is a covered benefit that
will now be done at one of your routine appointments with your primary care
provider. It will include questionnaires sent in a Phreesia text message or email.
Completing the information in advance will save time during the visit. Your
answers are sent electronically to your provider team for review. During the
rooming process, screenings for recall and movement will be performed. The visit
is intended to allow your Provider to better respond to your health needs as they
change over time.

Thank you Dr. Conrad

It’s a BIG DAY at Cadillac Family Physicians as we celebrate Dr. Conrad’s 41 years of service to patients in the Cadillac Area!
