On Nov. 29, 2023, Geisinger discovered and immediately notified Nuance that a former Nuance employee had accessed certain Geisinger patient information two days after the employee had been terminated. Upon learning this, Nuance permanently disconnected its former employee’s access to Geisinger’s records. An investigation was launched, and law enforcement was engaged. Because it could have impeded their investigation, law enforcement investigators asked Nuance to delay notifying patients of this incident until now. The former Nuance employee has been arrested and is facing federal charges. Through its investigation, Nuance determined the former employee may have accessed and taken information pertaining to more than one million Geisinger patients. The information varied by patient but could have included names in combination with one or more of the following: date of birth, address, admit and discharge or transfer code, medical record number, race, gender, phone number and facility name abbreviation. No claims or insurance information, credit card or bank account numbers, other financial information, or Social Security numbers were inappropriately accessed by the company’s former employee. “Our patients’ and members’ privacy is a top priority, and we take protecting it very seriously,” said Jonathan Friesen, Geisinger chief privacy officer. “We continue to work closely with the authorities on this investigation, and while I am grateful that the perpetrator was caught and is now facing federal charges, I am sorry that this happened.” Geisinger encourages those who have received a notice to review the information and contact the number below to address any concerns. They may call 855-575-8722, Monday through Friday, between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m., Eastern Time, except for major U.S. holidays, and provide engagement number B124651. Further, those patients whose information was involved in the incident are encouraged to review the statements they receive from their health plan and contact their health insurer immediately if they see services they did not receive.
