IU Health Plans reports security incident by third-party vendor’s law firm

IU Health Plans announced today that the law firm of its network vision manager, EyeMed, recently experienced a security incident. The law firm, Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, LLC (Orrick), served as legal counsel to EyeMed during its 2020 security event.

In relation to this representation, Orrick detected that an unauthorized third party gained access to a portion of its network between February 28 and March 13, 2023, including a file used to store certain client files of EyeMed containing IU Health Plan vision benefit plan members’ information. IU Health Plans first learned of this incident on June 29, 2023, and promptly initiated a review at that time.

Orrick immediately took steps to block the unauthorized access and initiated its response process, including launching an investigation of the incident with the support of a third-party forensics firm. Orrick also notified law enforcement. In addition to these actions, Orrick deployed additional security measures and tools with the guidance of third-party experts to strengthen the ongoing security of its network.

IU Health Plans began notifying affected members on August 31, 2023. The information affected by the Orrick security incident may have included: member name, address, date of birth, phone number, email address, vision insurance account/ID number, health insurance account/ID number, health insurance account/ID number, and full or partial Social Security numbers. IU Health Plans wants to ensure that its information is protected, and Orrick will be offering free credit monitoring to those IU Health Plans members impacted.

Prescription Drug Transition Policy

For Non-Long-Term Care Residents

For any drug that you are currently taking that is not on our formulary, or that requires additional authorization, we will cover a temporary 30‐day supply (unless you have a prescription written for fewer days, in which case multiple fills will be allowed to provide up to a total of a month’s supply of medication) when you fill the prescription at a network pharmacy. If you are given this temporary supply, please speak to your doctor before you use the entire supply so you and your doctor can select a formulary alternative or request an exception. We will not pay for this drug beyond your first 30‐day supply unless you have been approved for a formulary exception.  

For Long-Term Care Residents

If you are a resident of a long‐term care facility, we will cover a temporary transition supply up to 31 days.  If you need a drug that is not on our formulary, or is subject to additional authorization, but you are past the first 90 days of membership in our plan, we will cover up to a 31‐day emergency supply of that drug (unless you have a prescription for fewer days, in which case multiple fills will be allowed to provide up to total of a month’s supply of medication) while you pursue a formulary exception or work with your physician to select a formulary alternative.  

For Members Moving from Home to a Long-Term Care Facility or From a Long-Term Care Facility to Home

For the first month after being discharged from a long‐term care facility, you can get at least a 31‐day supply of your current medications to allow time for you and your physician to switch to a formulary alternative or request an exception.
