Bryan County Ambulance Authority (BCAA), an Oklahoma emergency medical services provider, reported to HHS OCR on 2022-05-18 a Hacking/IT Incident (ransomware attack) affecting 14,273 individuals. Ransomware encrypted files on BCAA's network server containing patient ePHI. OCR found BCAA failed to conduct a compliant risk analysis. BCAA agreed to a $90,000 settlement and a 3-year corrective action plan — the first enforcement action under OCR's Risk Analysis Initiative. No business associate was involved.
