Twp.of Washington NJ, Pharmacies nationwide are facing delays in fulfilling prescription orders following a cyber attack targeting one of the country’s leading health-care technology firms.
Change Healthcare, responsible for managing orders and patient payments across the U.S., detected the cyber security issue affecting its networks early Wednesday morning on the East Coast.
“In response to a cyber security issue affecting our networks, Change Healthcare is currently experiencing a network interruption. Our team of experts is actively addressing the situation. Upon identifying the external threat, we promptly disconnected our systems to prevent further impact, prioritizing the protection of our partners and patients,” stated Change Healthcare in an official communication.
As a consequence of the attack on Change Healthcare, pharmacies nationwide have issued notices acknowledging disruptions in their prescription processing capabilities.
The reported cyberattack on the nation’s largest commercial prescription processor, Change Healthcare, has affected military clinics and hospitals worldwide. On Feb. 21, Change Healthcare disconnected their systems to protect patient information. This is impacting all military pharmacies worldwide and some retail pharmacies nationally.
Military clinics and hospitals will provide outpatient prescriptions through a manual procedure until this issue is resolved. Military pharmacies will give priority to urgent prescriptions followed by routine prescriptions. Each military hospital and clinic will continue to offer pharmacy operations based on their local manning and resources. Please be patient while pharmacies take longer than usual to safely fill prescription needs.
It is unknown at this time when the issue will be resolved. Beneficiaries are encouraged to contact their military hospital and clinic or retail pharmacy for the latest local updates.
