Inmediata Health Group, a Puerto Rico-based medical and dental clearinghouse, agreed to a $1.13 settlement in order to resolve a data breach class-action suit that alleged that Inmediata failed to secure the protected health information (PHI) and personal identifying information (PII) of 1.6 million patients.[1]
