Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti announced yesterday that Tennessee and 32 other attorneys general have reached a settlement with health care clearinghouse Inmediata for a coding issue that exposed the protected health information of approximately 1.5 million consumers for almost three years. Under the settlement, Inmediata has agreed to overhaul its data security and breach notification practices and make a $1.4 million payment to states. Tennessee will receive $71,273 from the settlement. Inmediata was accused of violating state consumer protection laws and breaching notification laws and HIPAA by failing to implement reasonable data security or providing affected consumers with timely and complete information regarding the breach.
