28 Jun Data Error Affects More Than 600 SIH Patients
The Southern Illinois Healthcare (SIH) alerted more than 600 of their patients, stating a case of “data misdirection” on the part of third-party vendor Experian Health.
Experian Health provides SIH with information for verification of patient insurance eligibility. Previously in April, they reported a technical error to SIH, resulting to the delivery of patient information to the wrong medical facility.
Experian confirmed that the error has been resolved and affected patients are advised to call 855-259-6346 for assistance. SIH said the incident was isolated and offered free credit repair and monitoring services via All Clear ID for potentially impacted patients.
