Technical writeup
CenterWell (Humana-owned healthcare services) appeared in a Texas Attorney General data-security breach filing dated March 6, 2026, listing at least 4,618 affected Texas residents at the time of the filing. Disclosures and law-firm summaries described exposure of names, addresses, dates of birth, and medical/health-related information; some analyses noted potential inclusion of SSNs or insurance identifiers pending individual notices. CenterWell is a primary care and home-health brand under Humana; patients should rely on official letters for exact data categories. Subsequent class-action reporting cited plaintiffs alleging negligence and failure to protect or encrypt sensitive patient data (federal court filings summarized in press).
