Quest Diagnostics, one of the country's largest providers of diagnostic testing, said that nearly 12 million customers may have had information compromised due to a data breach, reports say.
The Secaucus-based diagnostic testing company confirmed that there was a data security incident involving AMCA, a billing collections vendors, said Wendy Bost, spokeswoman for Quest Diagnostics. While the breach did not happen at Quest Diagnostics, AMCA provides services to Optum360, which in turn provides payment services to Quest Diagnostics, said Bost.
As of Monday, AMCA had not provided Quest Diagnostics or Optum360 complete information about the security breach, including specific information and individuals affected, Bost said in a statement. In response to the breach, Quest Diagnostics has suspended sending collection requests to AMCA, the statement said.
As of May 31, about 11.9 million patients had information stored on the vendor's affected system, NBC New York reported. Information on the breach was found in a filing with securities regulators, said NBC New York.
