Mass General Brigham (Home Care) Data Breach Notice (Massachusetts Attorney General)

What to do now

Steps that match what this notice says was exposed

Every step below is free and you do it yourself, and none of it depends on Mass General Brigham (Home Care).

1. Read your next explanation of benefits. Medical identity theft shows up as treatment you did not receive, billed to your policy and written into your medical record. Your insurer can flag the policy, and you can request an accounting of disclosures from the provider named here.
2. Report the licence number to your state DMV. Most states will note the number as compromised, and some will issue a new one. It is the field that turns a stolen identity into a usable one in person.

One more, whatever was exposed: a breach notice is a favourite disguise for a phishing email. If a message about this arrives, do not use its links — go to the company’s site yourself, or call the number on your statement.
