ABOUT ALTAMED HEALTH SERVICES CORPORATION
AltaMed Health Services Corporation is a well-established healthcare provider dedicated to delivering quality medical, dental, and behavioral health services to underserved and diverse communities. Known for its commitment to accessible and comprehensive care, AltaMed has played a pivotal role in the healthcare landscape. However, its longstanding reputation is now under scrutiny following a recent and serious data breach that raises concerns about its data security practices.
What Happened?
In August 2024, AltaMed reportedly suffered a significant data breach involving unauthorized access to highly sensitive patient and employee information. The incident allegedly compromised both personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI), potentially exposing Social Security numbers, dates of birth, driver’s license or state ID numbers, passport and foreign national ID numbers, personal contact details, medical record numbers, Medicare/Medicaid IDs, insurance policy details, medical histories, treatment information, mental and physical health diagnoses, COVID-19 test results and vaccination status, prescription records, provider names, dates of service, billing and payment data, handwritten signatures, usernames and passwords, genetic data, and even mother’s maiden names.
AltaMed officially disclosed the breach to the California Attorney General’s office on June 13, 2025, raising concerns about the lengthy delay in notifying affected individuals—especially given the sensitivity and volume of the compromised data.
Notification letters outlining the scope of impacted information and providing protective measures were sent to affected individuals following the conclusion of the investigation.
