Full breach record for Wellpoint, Inc. →3 incidents on fileRegulator'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.
WellPoint Inc. settled potential HIPAA Privacy and Security Rule violations for $1.7 million. OCR found WellPoint failed to implement appropriate administrative and technical safeguards, including policies for authorizing access to an online application database, performing technical evaluations for software upgrades, and verifying access to electronic protected health information (ePHI). This resulted in the impermissible disclosure of ePHI for 612,402 individuals.

- 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.
