What Information Was Exposed?
According to the notice, the information that may have been involved varied by individual. The company said the potentially affected data may have included Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, financial account information, medical information, and health insurance information.
These categories matter because they can be used for identity theft, financial fraud, tax fraud, medical identity misuse, or account-related scams. If you received a notice, it is a good idea to compare the listed data types with the accounts and records you monitor most closely.
What Should You Do Next?

- Review your financial and medical records. Check bank accounts, credit cards, explanation-of-benefits statements, and insurance communications for unfamiliar activity.
- Get your free credit reports. Review reports from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion at AnnualCreditReport.com for accounts or inquiries you do not recognize.
- Consider a fraud alert or credit freeze. This can be especially important if your Social Security number or driver’s license number may have been involved.
- Document problems and ask questions. If you notice misuse, keep records of calls, charges, and time spent, contact the company assistance line at 1-855-308-7510, and fill out the form on this page if you want Strauss Borrelli PLLC to review whether you may qualify for a claim.
