Legend: with your name, without your name. Click on a circle above for names of organizations and details of data shared.
Health payers receive information from you, the patient,
statewide discharge data holders,
pharmacy benefits managers,
employer wellness programs,
disease management organizations,
de-identification companies
and analytics firms
and exchange information with researchers.
In general, Health Payers receive detailed medical bills from
physicians,
hospitals,
and clinical laboratories.
Bills typically include your name, address, policy number, date of birth, diagnoses, and procedures.
Often providers submit bills to insurance companies
through clearing houses.
Additionally, a Benefits Manager may play the role of a payer for self-insured
employers.
There are many types of insurers:
A common payer is a health insurance company
offers insurance against the risk of your personally incurring major medical expenses.
By estimating the overall risk of health expenses among a targeted group, the insurance company
pays your medical bills
and you pay monthly premiums. Often your employer
contributes significantly to your monthly premiums
and feedback to the employer from the insurance company
should be aggregate information that does not include your name.
When your employer
and your health payer are the same, they are called a Self-Insured Employer.
In comparison, a managed care organization aims to lower healthcare costs by re-organizing and negotiating
arrangements directly with physicians. A common variation is Health Maintenance Organizations,
which require members to select a primary physician as a doctor who acts as a gate keeper
to recommend and approve medical services. Another variation is a Preferred Provider Organization
is an organization of physicians, hospitals, and other health care providers
who work with an insurer to provide health care at reduced rates.
The largest payer is Medicare, which is a federal program for senior citizens.
Medicaid assists at the state level.

| | AvMed Health Plans
had a data breach in 2010,
in Florida.
AvMed Health Plans announced that personal information of some current and former subscribers may have been compromised by the theft of two company laptops from its corporate offices in Gainesville. The information included names, addresses, phone numbers, Social Security numbers and protected health information. The theft was immediately reported to local authorities but attempts to locate the laptops have been unsuccessful. AvMed determined that the data on one of the laptops may not have been protected properly, and approximately 80,000 of AvMeds current subscribers and their dependents may be affected. An additional approximate 128,000 former subscribers and their dependents, dating back to April 2003, may also have been affected.UPDATE (06/03/2010): The theft of the laptops compromised the identity data of 860,000 more Avmed members than originally thought. The total now nears 1.1 million.UPDATE (11/17/2010): Five AvMed Health Plans customers filed a class-action lawsuit against the health insurer on behalf of the 1.2 million people who were affected by the breach. At least two of them believe that their personal information was misused as a result of this particular breach.UPDATE (09/24/2012): An appeals court ruled that the plaintiffs were explicitly able to prove a link between the breach and ID theft they incurred. The case had been thrown out by a lower court in August 2011, but the appeal ruling may allow victims of identity theft to make it easier to prove that the identity theft was caused by a data breach.

had a data breach in 2010,
in Tennessee.
The theft of 57 hard drives from a BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee training facility last October has put at risk the private information of approximately 500,000 customers in at least 32 states. The hard drives contained 1.3 million audio files and 300,000 video files. The files contained customers personal data and protected health information that was encoded but not encrypted, including: names and BlueCross ID numbers. In some recordings-but not all-diagnostic information, date of birth, and/or a Social Security number were exposed. BCBS of TN estimates that the Social Security numbers of approximately 220,000 customers may be at risk. UPDATE (4/29/10): The number of plan members whose data were exposed has grown from 521,761, an estimate made in March, to nearly one million, as of April 2, according to a report issued by Mary Thompson, spokeswoman for the Tennessee Blues.UPDATE (11/3/10): According to a letter sent to the New Hampshire Attorney Generals Office, the total number of individuals affected was 1,023,209. BCBS used a three-tier system to categorize individuals affected by the breach. The total includes 451,274 clients whose Social Security numbers were involved, 319,325 clients whose personal and diagnostic health information was involved and 239,730 clients who had personally identifiable information that was neither medical nor their Social Security number.

PIN codes are used to confirm the identity of people who call for customer service.No loss or theft of customer information occurred, Verizon told CNN Tech.UpGuard -- the same company that discovered leaked voter data in June -- initially said the error could impact up to 14 million accounts.Chris Vickery, a researcher at UpGuard, discovered the Verizon data was exposed by NICE Systems, an Israel-based company Verizon was working with to facilitate customer service calls.
