As a healthcare organization, Endeavor Health Professional Coding Department was entrusted with some of the most sensitive data a person can share. According to a IL state filing, Endeavor Health Professional Coding Department experienced a data security incident affecting an undisclosed number of individuals, exposing protected health information and medical records. Legal proceedings relating to this breach are ongoing.
Data Exposed
Healthcare organizations are among the most targeted sectors for cybercriminals because medical records sell for up to ten times the value of financial records on underground markets. Endeavor Health Professional Coding Department's systems contained not only standard contact information but detailed health histories, insurance identifiers, and treatment records — data that cannot simply be changed like a password or credit card number.
Endeavor Health Professional Coding Department appears to be a healthcare organization specializing in medical coding, billing, and health information management services. In the regular course of business, organizations of this type typically collect and store sensitive personal and medical data, including patient names, dates of birth, medical record numbers, health insurance details, diagnosis and treatment information, and Social Security numbers. This data security incident was officially reported to the Illinois Attorney General in 2025. If you received a data breach notification letter in the mail, it means your personal information may have been involved in the incident. The letter provides further details regarding the event and outlines steps you can take to protect your personal information.
Based on the data types reported, affected individuals face:
Your SSN is the master key to your identity. Once exposed, criminals can open new lines of credit, take out loans, or file taxes in your name.
Combined with a name and other leaked data, date of birth helps criminals pass identity verification questions at banks and government agencies.
What the Illinois Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and federal statutes entitle you to recover:
The hours spent responding to a data breach — canceling accounts, contacting credit bureaus, updating passwords, and investigating fraud — represent compensable economic harm in data breach litigation.
Once your SSN is exposed, protection becomes an ongoing expense. Plaintiffs in data breach settlements have recovered costs for credit freezes, identity protection subscriptions, and time spent dealing with fraudulent accounts — sometimes covering multiple years of exposure.
HIPAA violations carry civil penalties between $100 and $50,000 per violation. Where a healthcare organization's negligence led to the exposure of protected health information, class members may recover statutory damages in addition to actual losses.
Several state data breach laws provide for statutory minimum damages — fixed amounts recoverable per affected individual regardless of actual loss. These provisions exist specifically to make legal action viable for victims who have not yet experienced direct harm.
No. Under Illinois Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and federal law, the unauthorized exposure of your personal data — regardless of whether it has been actively misused — can be sufficient grounds for a claim. The breach itself is the injury.
Nothing. The Law Office of David S. Harris handles data breach cases on contingency — you pay zero upfront and owe nothing unless compensation is recovered.
Immediately place a free credit freeze at all three bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion). A freeze blocks new accounts from being opened in your name. Then file a complaint with the FTC at IdentityTheft.gov and contact our office — SSN exposure is one of the most serious breach types.
If Endeavor Health Professional Coding Department is a covered healthcare entity or business associate under HIPAA, affected patients have additional rights — including the right to an HHS complaint. These HIPAA violations also strengthen civil damages claims. Consult an attorney to understand your full remedies.
Statutes of limitations for data breach claims vary by state but typically run 2–4 years. Depending on when you learned of the breach, you may still have time. Contact our office for a free eligibility review — there is no cost to find out.
Accepting free credit monitoring from Endeavor Health Professional Coding Department does not waive your right to pursue legal action unless you signed a specific release waiving claims. In most cases, victims who accepted monitoring can still file.
Not necessarily. Many data breach victims are never notified directly. If your personal information was held by Endeavor Health Professional Coding Department during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.
