Received a Secure Healthcare Information Management data breach notice?
FirstClassAction is reviewing potential claims on behalf of individuals whose personal information may have been compromised in a reported data security incident involving Secure Healthcare Information Management, LLC (“SHIM”).
SHIM notified individuals that their personal and protected health information may have been involved in unauthorized access or acquisition.¹ If you received a notice, you may be entitled to compensation depending on your circumstances and the findings of an investigation.
What Happened?
SHIM reports that a July 17, 2026 network disruption prompted an investigation with cybersecurity specialists. It identified unauthorized access or acquisition between July 6 and July 16, 2026, and confirmed the scope of the impact on September 18.
On October 6, 2026, SHIM mailed notices to potentially affected individuals with identifiable addresses. Its announcement does not disclose a nationwide total.²
What Data Was Exposed?
SHIM identified these potentially involved data categories:
Names.
Dates of birth.
Social Security numbers.
Driver’s license or state identification numbers.
Medical information.
Health insurance information.³
Exposure of identifying and health information may increase the risk of identity theft, medical identity theft, and financial fraud. Potential exposure does not establish that a particular individual’s information has been misused.
Who Is Affected?
SHIM provides billing and medical management services to physicians and medical institutions in northeastern Pennsylvania. Potentially affected individuals may therefore include patients whose information those providers entrusted to SHIM.⁴ Receiving a notification letter can help identify whether your information may have been involved.
Review your notification letter, monitor your accounts, and take steps to protect yourself.
