Full breach record for Affinity Health Plan, Inc. →3 incidents on fileRegulator'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 Affinity Health Plan, Inc. for $1,215,780 regarding the impermissible disclosure of up to 344,579 individuals' PHI when photocopiers were returned to a leasing agent without erasing hard drive data. The investigation revealed that Affinity failed to incorporate the electronic protected health information stored in copier's hard drives in its analysis of risks and vulnerabilities as required by the Security Rule, and failed to implement policies and procedures when returning the hard drives to its leasing agents.

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.
