On January 21, 2025, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that “Allegheny Health Network has suffered a data breach, resulting in the potential compromise of personal information for nearly 300,000 home care patients.”

Reportedly, Allegheny Health Network (AHN) has “. . . notified the Massachusetts attorney general that a health system vendor, IntraSystems LLC, found that a third party had been able to access some of patients’ personal information, including names, birthdates, addresses, Social Security numbers, financial account numbers and health insurance between Oct. 11 and Nov. 19. After investigating the incident, AHN began sending data breach notification letters Friday to some 293,900 home medical equipment and home infusion patients.”

In a January 17, 2025 press release, AHN stated that “[i]mpacted patients are being notified by IntraSystems in accordance with HIPAA and applicable state law. The affected personal information may have included names, dates of birth, addresses, Social Security numbers, financial account numbers (but no access codes), health insurance identification numbers and other health insurance information, and treatment information including diagnoses, provider information, treatments/procedures, dates of service, prescription information, and medical device serial numbers.”
