Alliance Physical Therapy Group, LLC

Alliance Physical Therapy Group, LLC, also known as Alliance Physical Therapy Partners, experienced a significant data breach that was first detected on December 27, 2021. The company, based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, is the seventh-largest physical therapy provider in the United States with over 100 outpatient locations across various states[1][3].

The compromised data included names, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, bank account and credit card numbers, medical information, health insurance information, usernames and passwords, passport numbers, and electronic signatures[1].

Alliance Physical Therapy Group provided updated notices about the incident and sent out data breach letters to all individuals whose information may have been compromised. They also offered complimentary credit monitoring and identity restoration services through Equifax to those affected[1][6].

The company took the incident seriously and reviewed its cybersecurity policies and procedures, implementing additional measures to prevent future incidents. They also provided guidance on how individuals can protect themselves against potential misuse of their information[6].

For those who received a data breach notification, it is crucial to understand the risks and take steps to protect against identity theft or fraud. Legal options may be available, and affected individuals are advised to consult with a data breach lawyer for assistance[1][3].
