Consumer-rights law firm FeganScott announced that it has launched an investigation into UChicago Medicine Medical Group following the disclosure that an unauthorized individual gained access to databases belonging to a third party vendor, Nationwide Recovery Services (NRS), a healthcare debt collector. The breach affects over 38,000 individuals who have been patients at University of Chicago Medical Center, and whose personal information was shared with NRS.
According to a statement by UChicago Medicine, the data breach occurred from July 5, 2024, to July 11, 2024, but NRS did not notify UChicago Medicine until April 8, 2025. The breach may include personally identifying information, including:
- First and last names
- Date of birth
- Address
- Social Security numbers
- Financial account information
- Medical-related information
UChicago Medicine says that it is providing written notification to affected individuals for whom they have mailing addresses.
Individuals who have received a notice letter or used UChicago Medicine’s services are urged to contact FeganScott to learn more about their rights at contact@feganscott.com or by visiting our site.
