Follow-up to postings and resources for veterans impacted by recent data breach, this press release (includes text of letter to HHS): “Thirty organizations participating in the Consumer Coalition for Health Privacy yesterday asked U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt to undertake a compliance review of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs pursuant to the authority granted him by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). Medical diagnostic codes and disability rating information about an undisclosed number of disabled veterans were stolen last month from the home of a VA employee along with 26.5 million veterans’ names, birth dates and Social Security numbers.”
