Many of the major health data breaches added to the federal tally so far this year involve business associates, continuing a trend in recent years.
The largest breach added so far in 2021 to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ HIPAA Breach Reporting Tool website – which lists health data breaches affecting 500 or more individuals – is a vendor hacking incident reported on Jan. 29 by Florida Healthy Kids Corp., a provider of children’s’ health and dental health plans in Florida.
