A Florida-based pediatric practice has been indicted in federal court along with two others for alleged identity theft and fraud crimes involving stolen patient information. No HIPAA-related criminal charges were filed in the case. The Department of Health and Human Services’ Office for Civil Rights appears to have closed an investigation into the Pediatric Gastroenterology incident, which is listed on its “wall of shame” tally of major breaches as affecting 13,000 patients. The clinic took a number of other steps to bolster security and privacy in the wake of the incident.”]
