AAM Data Breach Affects 501 Patients: Full Details

On May 2, 2025, Anesthesia Associates of Morristown, P.A. (AAM) reported a data breach to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), affecting at least 501 individuals in the United States. Note that when a disclosure on the HHS portal states the number of affected individuals is 501, it is usually a placeholder and updated after an investigation is complete.

This incident involved unauthorized access to sensitive information held by the medical practice. While the specific method of the breach has not been publicly disclosed, the fact that it was reported to the HHS Breach Portal suggests that protected health information (PHI) may have been exposed.
