Full breach record for Dr. Linda Shen d/b/a/ Shen Smiles, P.C. →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 settled a HIPAA Privacy Rule investigation with Dr. Linda Shen d/b/a Shen Smiles, P.C., a solo dental practice in Pennsylvania. The respondent failed to implement required privacy policies/procedures (45 C.F.R. § 164.530(i)) and failed to reasonably safeguard PHI (45 C.F.R. § 164.530(c)(2)(i)). The matter was resolved via a Resolution Agreement for $140,000, with no admission of liability.

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.
Evidence ladder
Attacker assertion only. Establishes: claim date, group, alleged victim.
Unlocks: incident narrative, operational impact. Still no compliance clock.
Unlocks: discovery date, data types, affected count, compliance clock.
Unlocks: materiality, stated response, full audit trail. Ceiling removed.
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.
