Paul G. Klein, DPM reported to HHS on 2013-10-01 a theft affecting 2500 individuals. The breached information was located on a laptop and included names, addresses, dates of birth, social security numbers, and various medical information. An OCR investigation determined that because the laptop was encrypted and password-protected, the event did not constitute a breach under HIPAA rules.
Affected (this filing): 2,500
About this clustering
DisclosureLens links filings into incidents through layered matchers: deterministic rules (same source document, multistate filings of one breach, tight-window same-victim pairs), a weighted-similarity scorer for cross-source candidates, and an operator review queue for everything uncertain. Each link records its own method and confidence — shown per filing in the timeline below. The system defaults to NOT merging when uncertain, because a false merge (collapsing two unrelated breaches) is more harmful than a false split (showing related filings separately); uncertain pairs route to human review instead of auto-merging. Filing summaries shown in the timeline are AI-generated extracts — verify each against its linked source.
