An unauthorized party may have accessed an employee’s email account between Jan. 2 and March 14. Potentially compromised information includes rental customers’ personal information such as names, contact details, Medicare identification numbers and insurance policy information, as well as some non-public financial information.

The affected information did not include payment card details or medical records.

Inogen hired a forensic firm to investigate, and it said its insurance policy may not be enough to cover all the costs associated with the incident.
