Vincent Vein Center in Grand Junction, Colo., uses Bizmatics’ EHR and practice management tool called PrognoCIS. In 2015, Bizmatics learned unauthorized hackers had accessed its servers and notified healthcare organizations using their platform.

Potentially compromised information includes names, addresses, health insurance information, other identifying information and some Social Security numbers. No credit card or financial information is stored in the files that were breached.

According to the letter Bizmatics sent to VincentVeinCenter, there is no evidence any client records were accessed or acquired by the unauthorized persons.

Other healthcare organizations also affected by the Bizmatics server breach include Pain Treatment Centers of America in Little Rock, Ark., and Southeast Eye Institute in Pinellas Park, Fla.
