Medical billing company Practice Resources is being hit by a class action lawsuit alleging the company failed to protect patient information and took too long to notify patients following a data breach, according to Sept. 6 reporting on syracuse.com.

Practice Resources provided notice of the data breach last month, following the April cyberattack that may have compromised patient names, addresses, dates of treatment, health plan numbers and medical record numbers.

Practice Resources mailed out 950,000 letters to patients. Law firm Migliaccio & Rathod filed the suit against Practice Resources. 

The suit still needs to be certified by a court to proceed.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
