Police and state health officials in Kansas say electronic and paper files were stolen from a vehicle in Wichita last week, and the files contain protected health and personal information.

The Kansas Department on Aging (KDOA) is trying to notify customers of the potential breach.

They insist there is no evidence to indicate the information was accessed and misused. Police are investigating.

On January 12, a laptop computer, flash drive and paper files were stolen from a secured vehicle being used by an employee in Wichita. The files primarily involved customers located in Sedgwick, Harvey and Butler counties in South Central Kansas. The theft was reported to Wichita Police, and officials at KDOA say they continue to work with the police in the matter. To date the laptop, flash drive and paper files have not been recovered.

Officials say the stolen data and documents may include full customer names, complete addresses, dates of birth, social security numbers, gender, in home services program participation information, Medicaid identification numbers, case management location and case manager names and telephone numbers.

No banking, credit card, or driver license information was involved.

All involved customers identified will be sent an individual letter explaining the situation and the department has attempted to notify those customers whose social security numbers were compromised by phone.
