Full breach record for Elite Dental Associates, Dallas

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.

Elite Dental Associates, a Dallas dental practice, agreed to pay $10,000 to settle potential HIPAA Privacy Rule violations involving social media disclosures of patients' protected health information. The settlement includes the adoption of a corrective action plan.

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.

Unlocks: discovery date, data types, affected count, compliance clock.

SEC 8-K / victim statement

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.
