Connecticut Attorney General William Tong led a 44-attorney-general coalition settlement with Laboratory Corporation of America over the 2019 AMCA breach, which potentially exposed personal information of more than 27.5 million people, including 10.2 million Labcorp patients. Labcorp will pay $2,287,455 and implement enhanced vendor-risk management, information-security, and oversight measures.
Labcorp must pay $2,287,455 to the states, enhance its information security and vendor-risk management programs, minimize data shared with vendors, strengthen debt-collector contract and cybersecurity requirements, and have a third-party assessor conduct an information security assessment focused on vendor risk management.
Review vendor and business associate agreements—especially debt-collection and other vendors handling patient information—for clear security controls, limits on data shared and permitted uses, data segregation, and obligations to report vendor security events promptly. Confirm contracts grant audit and assessment rights, require evidence of ongoing compliance, support incident response and internal escalation, and allow termination for security non-compliance. Review customer-facing privacy notices and employee incident-response procedures for consistency with these vendor oversight commitments.
