Alpha-Omega Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism Center, PC

About this report

The covered entity (CE), Alpha-Omega Endocrinology was temporarily locked out of its office when the building it was located in was purchased. This also led to the potential impermissible access to protected health information (PHI) by the new owners. The breach affected approximately 1,000 individuals and the PHI involved included names, dates of birth, addresses, social security numbers, claims information, clinical information, and other treatment information. The covered entity determined that it was unlikely that any PHI was actually viewed, accessed, or misused. Following the breach, the covered entity provided notice to all affected individuals as well as the media. The covered entity subsequently closed its practice. OCR has determined that no further OCR action was required.
