THE RECORD
Three Bergen County hospitals are alerting thousands of patients that their personal information may have been stolen by a billing clerk under federal investigation.
Valley Hospital in Ridgewood (pictured), Englewood Hospital and Holy Name Medical Center in Teaneck have informed patients of a data breach.
The Valley Hospital in Ridgewood, Englewood Hospital and Medical Center, and Holy Name Medical Center in Teaneck have informed patients treated in their emergency departments that their names, Social Security numbers and dates of birth may have been illegally given out by a company contracted to handle physician billing, officials said.
An employee at Medical Management, LLC, which provides billing services to 40 providers in several states, worked at the company from Feb. 2013 until March 2015 and copied personal information and illegally passed it on, officials said.
