Full breach record for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee →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 settled potential HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules violations with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee (BCBST) for $1.5 million. The case involved the theft of 57 unencrypted hard drives containing PHI of over 1 million individuals from a leased facility. BCBST agreed to a corrective action plan including policy reviews, employee training, and monitor reviews.

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.
