Given this role, the company maintains extensive repositories of highly sensitive personal health information, including medical histories, billing records, and insurance claims data. This data breach was officially reported to the Texas Attorney General in 2025, triggering formal notification requirements for those impacted.

We recommend carefully reviewing the correspondence you received to understand the specific scope of the exposure and the identity protection services being offered to you by the company.
