NOTICE OF DATA INCIDENT
Superior Air-Ground Ambulance Service, Inc., on behalf of itself and relevant affiliated covered entities
and subsidiaries, (“Superior”) is providing notice of a data incident that may impact certain personal
information relating to individuals who previously received medical transportation services.
What Happened? In May 2023, Superior learned of unusual activity within its computer systems. Superior
promptly took steps to secure the system and began a comprehensive investigation to confirm the full
nature, scope, and impact of the event. On June 23, 2023, the investigation determined that an
unauthorized actor copied certain files from the network between May 15 and May 23, 2023. Superior
subsequently worked to undertake a comprehensive and time-intensive review of the affected files to
identify and catalogue what information was present and to whom that information relates. Superior then
worked to determine contact information for those individuals. Superior is now taking steps to notify
potentially affected individuals of this event.
What Information Was Involved? The information that is present in the affected files varies by individual
but may include: name, address, date of birth, Social Security numbers, driver’s license or state
identification number, financial account information, payment card information, patient record
information, medical diagnosis or condition information, medical treatment information, and health
insurance information.
What We Are Doing. Superior views its responsibility to safeguard information in its possession as an
utmost priority. Upon learning of this incident, Superior promptly took steps to secure the system and
began a comprehensive investigation. Superior has been working diligently to provide potentially affected
individuals with accurate and complete notice and guidance on how to better protect personal
information. As part of its ongoing commitment to the privacy and security of information in its care,
Superior has taken steps to review its policies and procedures and has implemented additional security
measures. Superior is also providing notice of this event to potentially impacted individuals and guidance
on how to better protect personal information. Superior has also notified relevant state and federal
regulators as applicable.
What You Can Do. Superior encourages those who may be affected to remain vigilant against incidents
of identity theft and fraud by reviewing account statements, explanation of benefits, and free credit
reports for unexpected activity and to detect errors. Further details on how to safeguard personal
information may be found in the Steps You Can Take to Protect Personal Information section below.

STEPS YOU CAN TAKE TO PROTECT PERSONAL INFORMATION
Monitor Accounts
Under U.S. law, a consumer is entitled to one free credit report annually from each of the three major
credit reporting bureaus, Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. To order a free credit report, visit
www.annualcreditreport.com or call, toll-free, 1-877-322-8228. Consumers may also directly contact the
three major credit reporting bureaus listed below to request a free copy of their credit report.
Consumers have the right to place an initial or extended “fraud alert” on a credit file at no cost. An initial
fraud alert is a 1-year alert that is placed on a consumer’s credit file. Upon seeing a fraud alert display on
a consumer’s credit file, a business is required to take steps to verify the consumer’s identity before
extending new credit. If consumers are the victim of identity theft, they are entitled to an extended fraud
alert, which is a fraud alert lasting seven years. Should consumers wish to place a fraud alert, please
contact any of the three major credit reporting bureaus listed below.
As an alternative to a fraud alert, consumers have the right to place a “credit freeze” on a credit report,
which will prohibit a credit bureau from releasing information in the credit report without the consumer’s
express authorization. The credit freeze is designed to prevent credit, loans, and services from being
approved in a consumer’s name without consent. However, consumers should be aware that using a
credit freeze to take control over who gets access to the personal and financial information in their credit
report may delay, interfere with, or prohibit the timely approval of any subsequent request or application
they make regarding a new loan, credit, mortgage, or any other account involving the extension of credit.
Pursuant to federal law, consumers cannot be charged to place or lift a credit freeze on their credit report.
To request a credit freeze, individuals may need to provide some or all of the following information:
1. Full name (including middle initial as well as Jr., Sr., II, III, etc.);
2. Social Security number;
3. Date of birth;
4. Addresses for the prior two to five years;
5. Proof of current address, such as a current utility bill or telephone bill;
6. A legible photocopy of a government-issued identification card (state driver’s license or ID card,
etc.); and
7. A copy of either the police report, investigative report, or complaint to a law enforcement agency
concerning identity theft if they are a victim of identity theft.
Should consumers wish to place a credit freeze or fraud alert, please contact the three major credit
reporting bureaus listed below:
