Possible leaked patient information includes dates of birth, diagnosis information, disability information, driver’s license numbers, health insurance group/plan numbers, health insurance information, health insurance policy numbers, medical history information, medical record numbers, prescription information, subscriber numbers and treating/referring physicians. 

The practice is unaware of any misuse of the patient information; however, it is urging patients to be on the lookout for signs of fraud, according to the notice.
