Sensitive data from IU Health patients breached by unknown perpetrators

One of IU Health's vendors, Seattle-based MCG, has sent letters to patients informing them an “unauthorized party” accessed patients’ personal information including names, medical codes, postal addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth and Social Security numbers.

IU Health promised to freeze prices,then added fees to Bloomington patients' bills

MCG said in the letters it is “coordinating with the FBI” and it regrets “any concern this issue may cause.”

Some Bloomington area residents told The Herald-Times they had received such letters. One reader said the letter was “disturbing.” Another worried the letter might be a scam.

IU Health patients asked to review statements, credit reports

MCG urged patients “to remain vigilant by reviewing your account statements and monitoring your free credit reports.” Patients who have questions can call 866-475-7221 weekdays from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. and weekends from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
