OptumRx (Business Associate, IL) reported to HHS on 2014-04-30 a Theft/misdelivery breach affecting 5,696 individuals. A BA employee mistakenly mailed PHI — including names and prescription drug names — to unintended recipients due to a human error in sorting an Excel spreadsheet. Breached information was on Paper/Films. OCR verified a proper BA agreement was in place and that corrective actions were completed, including additional quality checks and controls for mailings.
