Virtua Medical Group agreed to pay $417,816 and implement a corrective action plan to settle allegations that it failed to properly secure electronic protected health information (ePHI). A vendor's server misconfiguration publicly exposed the medical records of over 1,650 patients via Google searches. The New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs found VMG violated HIPAA's Security and Privacy Rules by not adequately vetting the vendor's security and failing to conduct proper risk analysis.
