INDIANAPOLIS - The protected health information of some Indiana Medicaid members may have been compromised in a recent security breach involving Ohio-based CareSource.
Officials with the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration announced Friday that the breach of CareSource, a managed care entity, happened in late May and involved the personal information of more than 200,000 Hoosiers.
State officials say names, addresses, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, member health information and more for 212,193 Indiana Medicaid members were accessed through an application called MOVEit, used by CareSource.

The FSSA notified Hoosiers last month that more than 744,000 Medicaid members using services provided by Virginia-based Maximus Health Services Inc. were affected in a breach of the same MOVEit app.
Officials say CareSource is contacting affected members and is offering options for credit monitoring.
Additional information can be found by calling CareSource at 1-866-764-7020 between 9 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
