La Perouse, LLC provides patient billing services for a healthcare provider, and it recently discovered that one of its third-party billing platforms had been accessed without authorization. This falls under a third-party vendor breach, since the incident occurred on an outside platform application rather than La Perouse’s own network. The company says an unauthorized party gained access to an account within that billing platform and copied files stored there. La Perouse states there was no unauthorized access to or impact on its own internal network, and it hired cybersecurity specialists to investigate the scope of what was taken.
The letter is addressed to a person who previously received treatment from a healthcare provider that used La Perouse for billing. La Perouse says its review found that the recipient’s name was present in the copied files. The letter’s template did not list additional specific data categories in the text provided to us, so we can’t confirm beyond your name what other details may have been included in your particular file; the notice you received directly should list any further specifics that apply to you.
