Full breach record for Northeast Surgical Group, PC →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 investigation with Northeast Surgical Group, P.C. for $10,000 following a ransomware attack in March 2023 that encrypted and exfiltrated PHI of 15,298 patients. The settlement, part of OCR's Risk Analysis Initiative, cited NESG's failure to conduct a compliant risk analysis. NESG agreed to a two-year corrective action plan.

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.
