Quick Glance: HHS investigation into UnitedHealth’s cybersecurity post-hack fallout
- A probe by the Biden administration targets UnitedHealth Group following a cyberattack on a subsidiary that disrupted health payments and potentially exposed data of millions of patients.
- HHS stated that the investigation aims to assess the extent of the incident and monitor UnitedHealth and its subsidiary, Change Healthcare, for compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
- Past federal examinations have led to penalties for healthcare entities over data breaches. Leaders in the industry highlight the attack on Change Healthcare as one of the most severe incidents in the US healthcare system's history.
- Despite UnitedHealth's reassurances, lawmakers and healthcare groups assert that efforts are insufficient, pushing for stricter accountability and action.
