On April 8, 2022, Priority Health became aware of a missing box of medical claims and records. These files were lost in transit to a vendor located in Texas. FedEx has not been able to locate the box and the vendor has no record of receiving it.
The information in the FedEx box may have included personal, insurance, claims or medical information of members. While no misuse of information has been detected, out of an abundance of caution, Priority Health has alerted all members and employers who were potentially impacted by this incident and is providing a variety of services and measures to help safeguard those individuals.
