Heart of America Medical Center, a healthcare provider operating in Indiana, formally reported a data breach to state regulators on August 4, 2026. This official filing indicates an incident occurred on May 7, 2025, involving an unspecified type of unauthorized access or disclosure of sensitive information.

The reported exposed data categories include Full Name, Date of Birth, Social Security Number, Medical Record Number, Health Insurance ID Number, Diagnosis and Treatment Information, Prescription Information, and Provider and Treatment Dates. These details are based on the formal notification submitted to state authorities.

Exposure of such comprehensive personal and health information can create significant risks for affected individuals.

It is generally advisable to remain vigilant for any suspicious communications or activity, monitor credit reports, and consider placing a fraud alert or security freeze on credit with the major credit bureaus to help prevent unauthorized account openings.

What to do if you were affected

Based on the categories of information reported in this filing, these steps can help limit the risk of identity theft and fraud.

Freeze your credit
Place a free credit freeze with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. A freeze blocks new accounts from being opened in your name and can be lifted anytime.
Check for medical identity theft
Review the Explanation of Benefits statements from your health insurer for services or claims you never received, which can signal misuse of your medical identity.
Stay alert to targeted scams
Be cautious of calls, texts, or emails that reference this breach. Legitimate organizations won't ask you to confirm sensitive details through an unsolicited message.
Keep your notification letter
Save the notice you received. It documents that your information was involved and is often needed to enroll in any credit monitoring offered or to join a related legal claim.
