Full breach record for Gums Dental Care, LLC

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 imposed a $70,000 civil monetary penalty on Gums Dental Care, LLC, a Maryland dental practice, for failing to provide timely access to patient medical records. The practice failed to respond to written requests made in April and June 2019 until May 2022. The penalty was affirmed by the Departmental Appeals Board.

No linked breach filing · watching

Compliance clocks stay unassessable until a breach filing is linked. This record is the regulator's action, not a breach notice. Dashed segments fill in automatically when corroboration arrives.

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

SEC 8-K / victim statement

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.
