What happened?
In April 2024, Northeast Rehabilitation Hospital Network experienced a data breach that potentially exposed the personal health information of thousands of patients. The breach was disclosed to the Massachusetts Attorney General's office on January 6, 2025. An unauthorized party accessed sensitive information, which was later returned to one of the network's outpatient clinics.
The information exposed includes:
- Social Security numbers
- Financial account details
- Driver's licenses
- Name
- Address
- Date of birth
- Referring physician
- Diagnosis
- Insurance information
- Hospital account number
- Medical record number

Your Rights and Next Steps
If you believe your information was compromised in this breach, there are several steps you can take to protect yourself. Under Massachusetts law, you have the right to obtain any police report filed regarding this incident. If you are a victim of identity theft, you can file a police report and obtain a copy.
Consider placing a security freeze on your credit reports, which you can do for free. This will prevent credit reporting agencies from releasing your credit information without your consent. To initiate a freeze, contact each of the three major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. You will need to provide personal information, including your Social Security Number and proof of identity.
