- Why: The company reported that a cybercriminal accessed patient information on its computer system.
- Where: The data breach may affect individuals living in Iowa, western Illinois and northern Missouri.
UI Community HomeCare has notified more than 211,000 patients of a data breach that compromised personal information.
The company, which provides home infusion and medical equipment services, said it discovered the breach on July 3, 2025, but immediately took preventative action. UI Community HomeCare was able to safely restore systems within one business day, it says.
After further investigation, the company determined that data files containing patient information were accessed and copied.
The data potentially obtained for each person was not identical, but it may have included an individual’s name, date of birth, medical record number, provider, type of visit, insurance information and date of service.
UI Community HomeCare mailed letters to affected individuals on Aug. 29, 2025.
UI Community HomeCare says no indication data was misused
UI Community HomeCare reported there is no indication of misused data, but it encouraged patients to remain vigilant against incidents of identity theft and fraud by reviewing personal account statements and monitoring free credit reports for suspicious activity and to detect errors.
The company is not offering credit monitoring services at this time because there is no indication that patients’ information has been misused.
UI Community HomeCare says it is taking the incident very seriously and is committed to making continued improvements to strengthen its systems against future incidents. The company added that it has implemented new monitoring tools, updated firmware, changed passwords and removed files from impacted hardware.
Meanwhile, Highlands Oncology Group recently reported a significant data breach affecting more than 113,000 individuals for which a Medusa ransomware group claimed responsibility, demanding a $700,000 ransom not to publish the stolen data.
