Investigation notes

This notification confirms that unauthorized parties gained access to its digital environment, compromising patient data.

As a covered entity handling protected health information, Baltimore Medical System, Inc. operates under strict legal mandates, including HIPAA and HITECH Acts. These laws require robust administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect patient data.

If you received a data breach notification letter from Baltimore Medical System, Inc., it serves as official confirmation that your private information was compromised. Affected individuals should remain vigilant by closely monitoring their Explanation of Benefits statements for unusual activity, reviewing their credit reports regularly, and being wary of unsolicited communications that might be phishing attempts.

Receiving this notification also establishes your legal standing to consider potential legal action. Under current legal standards, individuals do not always need to prove immediate financial loss to pursue claims; the mere exposure and increased risk of future harm can be sufficient grounds. Our firm is currently investigating the conduct of Baltimore Medical System, Inc. regarding this incident and is reviewing claims from affected individuals. There is no out-of-pocket cost to you unless we successfully recover compensation on your behalf.
