WHAT HAPPENED?
Recently, SCCH reported to the Attorney General of California that it had experienced a data breach in which sensitive personal identifiable information and protected health information in its care may have been compromised. According to the breach notice, on October 2, 2025, TriZetto Provider Solutions (“TPS”), a third-party company that works with SCCH’s electronic medical records provider OCHIN, noticed unusual activity on its website.1 As a result, SCCH launched an investigation to determine the nature of the incident.
Through its investigation, TPS and OCHIN confirmed to SCCH that sensitive personal information in TPS systems related to SCCH patients may have been accessed by an unauthorized third party between November 2024 and October 2025. As a result, SCCH began a review of the data to determine what information had been impacted as well as identify the specific individuals affected. While the information impacted varies depending on the individual, the type of information potentially exposed includes:
- Name
- Social Security number
- Date of birth
- Health insurance numbers
As a result of the breach, SCCH began mailing data breach notification letters to impacted individuals. Based on the breach notice sent to California residents, SCCH and TPS are providing affected individuals with a list of the specific types of sensitive information impacted and complimentary credit monitoring services. A link to the form breach notification letters that SCCH filed with the Attorney General of California is below.
