Notice of Data Security Incident

 

Premier Medical Group of the Hudson Valley P.C. (“PMG”) is committed to protecting the privacy and security of the information in our care. On August 21, 2021, we began mailing notification letters to certain patients whose information was involved in a data security incident.

 

After we became aware of an incident that disrupted the operations of some of our IT systems, we immediately took steps to secure our systems and launched an investigation with the assistance of third-party forensic experts. We also notified law enforcement. Our investigation determined that an unauthorized party accessed some of the files on PMG’s systems on June 14, 2026.

 

After learning that the unauthorized party had accessed files, we began an investigation to determine the nature and scope of the information involved. Following this investigation, on July 14, 2026, we determined that files may have included one or more of the following: patients’ names, contact information, dates of birth, health insurance information, provider names, internal patient identification numbers, dates of service, medication information, and treatment and/or diagnostic information.

 

We recommend that patients review the statements they receive from their healthcare providers and health insurance plan. If they see any services that were not received, patients should contact their provider or health plan immediately.

 

We take this matter very seriously. To help prevent a similar incident, we will continue to implement and evaluate enhanced safeguards and security measures to further protect our systems, and continue to provide security training to our employees.

 

We have set up a dedicated incident response line to answer patient questions. Patients can call 888-650-4197, Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern Time, except for major U.S. holidays.
