Timeline
- October 09, 2025 — Bay Medical LLC filed a breach report with HHS OCR covering 1,483 individuals, categorized as a Hacking/IT Incident at the Email location of breached protected health information.
What was exposed
The OCR portal lists only the location of breached information (Email) and the breach type (Hacking/IT Incident). It does not enumerate the specific data elements involved. Email-based incidents at healthcare providers typically expose any protected health information contained in messages and attachments within the affected mailboxes, which can include names, contact information, dates of birth, treatment or appointment details, and in some cases health insurance or financial identifiers. The actual scope at Bay Medical LLC has not been publicly disclosed.
Offering
No public information about complimentary credit monitoring, identity protection, or other remediation services has been released by Bay Medical LLC at the time of writing. Affected individuals should look to their personalized notification letter, which is required under the HIPAA Breach Notification Rule, for the entity’s specific offering.
Class-action status
No class-action complaint connected to this filing has been identified in public court dockets or established legal trade press as of the date of this page.
What to do if you may be affected
- Freeze your credit with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. It is free, takes about ten minutes per bureau, and is the single highest-leverage step against new-account identity theft, regardless of which specific data elements were in the mailbox.
- Watch for a notification letter at the address on file with Bay Medical LLC. The letter should specify the data elements involved in your individual record and describe any complimentary monitoring services. Read it carefully and keep it on file.
- Be skeptical of unsolicited calls or messages referencing the breach. Email-incident victims are frequent targets of follow-on phishing that recycles details from the original mailbox compromise.
- Bookmark this page. We update it as the entity’s substitute notice, state attorney general filings, or court filings become publicly available.

Credit monitoring covers your wallet. HealthConsent covers your health records.
Your stolen diagnoses, test results, and medical record numbers don’t expire when the free credit-monitoring window ends. HealthConsent automates HIPAA restriction requests and opt-outs across providers, insurers, HIEs, and prescription networks so the data taken in this breach can’t keep being shared and sold by other entities downstream.
