An unencrypted disc that contained patient information was lost in transit. The disc had names, Medicare account numbers, and outstanding account balances from patients who visited the Honesdale hospital between 2007 and 2012. A legal envelope that contained the disc was mailed on November 28 and arrived at Novitas Solutions in Pittsburgh in a cardboard box without the disc. (English)
