Regulator's decision — not a breach notification

This record is a regulator's decision, not the organisation's own breach notice. Breach-notification fields (discovery date, notification clock) are structurally absent — what this source establishes is the outcome and the provisions the decision cites.

HHS OCR settled with New England Dermatology, P.C. for improper disposal of PHI. Specimen containers labeled with patient names, DOB, and provider info were placed in an exterior dumpster from Feb 2011 to March 2021. NEDLC agreed to pay $300,640 and implement a Corrective Action Plan.

Evidence ladder

Leak-site claim

Attacker assertion only. Establishes: claim date, group, alleged victim.

Press / market report

Unlocks: incident narrative, operational impact. Still no compliance clock.

State AG / regulator filingThis record

Unlocks: discovery date, data types, affected count, compliance clock.

SEC 8-K / victim statement

Unlocks: materiality, stated response, full audit trail. Ceiling removed.

Source ceiling

  • instrument + outcome
  • amount as filed (USD)
  • CFR provisions
  • the breach it recites
  • discovery date
  • notification clock

The dates the agreement recites belong to the underlying breach, years earlier, and are kept as evidence of WHICH breach rather than as this record’s timeline.
