The following breach occurred in the city of Springfield, Massachusetts in 2011. A Warner Chilcott pharmaceutical sales representative was allowed by Dr. Rita Luthra to have access to the personal medical information of her patients. Dr. Luthra a gynecologist, allowed this illegal act to continue from January 2011 to November of 2011. Dr. Luthra provided gynecological services to the patients in the low-income population of Springfield. In the suit, it is stated that Dr. Luthra was paid over $23,000 for recommending medication for osteoporosis but she stated that she was paid for holding meetings in her office and gave speeches and also for writing a research paper that was not finished. Dr. Luthra was accused of giving the Warner Chilcott representative access to the patient’s information so that pre-authorization forms for health insurance companies that were not authorizations for the prescriptions of the osteoporosis medications that were promoted by Warner Chilcott. She also insisted that her assistant lies to the investigators about the situation. Dr. Luthra broke the law and HIPAA privacy rule and she can no longer practice as a physician, she could have been given six years in prison, a year of being monitored when paroled, $50,000 to $300,000 fine for the breach, and $250,000 for obstructing the investigation.
