Health Systems Alert Patients to MyChart Phishing Scam Impersonating Epic Portal
Health systems are warning patients about phishing attempts impersonating Epic's MyChart patient portal to steal personal information. Epic states the scam represents brand exploitation by cybercriminals rather than a security breach of its systems. The phishing attempts target patients using fake MyChart communications. This activity affects Medicaid managed care organizations and providers using Epic's widely-deployed patient portal system, potentially compromising protected health information and member data security.
Medicaid health plans and providers using Epic's MyChart must alert members about phishing risks to prevent unauthorized disclosure of protected health information and comply with HIPAA breach notification requirements.
