Insurer that runs Georgia health plan lost hard drives with data on 950,000 individuals
Centene Corp., the parent company of Peach State Health Plan, said Monday that it is searching its offices for six hard drives that contain sensitive personal information for 950,000 people.
The hard drives the company is trying to find contain personal information of people who received lab services from 2009-2015. The information includes name, address, date of birth, social security number, member ID number and health information, the company said.
The St. Louis-based company’s website shows that it works with 4.8 million people in 23 states. Centene did not respond Tuesday to several inquiries from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution asking how many Georgians, if any, are among the 950,000 affected individuals.
Centene delivers managed care services to low-income Georgians enrolled in Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids through the company’s Peach State Health Plan.
