What happened in the Insightin Health breach?

Insightin says it found unusual activity in its computer system in September 2025 and began an investigation with outside experts. It says files may have been looked at or copied between September 17 and 23, 2025, and that it gave its clients, the recipients' health plans, information about the incident between December 4 and December 18, 2025.

What information was involved?

The letter says the files held each person's name, date of birth, gender and health plan information, and that no Social Security numbers or financial information were in them. The state lists agree on the absence of Social Security numbers: Washington and Texas record names, dates of birth or addresses, health insurance and medical information, and none lists Social Security numbers. Three of Washington's notices also list email addresses with passwords or security question answers, which the letter does not mention.

Why did I get a letter from Insightin Health?

Your health plan is an Insightin client. The letter calls Insightin a software company that provides services to its clients, and Washington's records name Centene Corporation and its Wellcare and Coordinated Care plans. The guide to letters from companies you never dealt with explains the chain.

What the documents leave open

  • Which vendor's software had the flaw, and whether it has a public vulnerability identifier.
  • Which health plans besides Centene's are involved.
  • Why three Washington notices list email addresses and passwords.

California's breach-notice rule

California's breach law (Civil Code § 1798.82 for businesses, § 1798.29 for state agencies) requires any person or business that must notify more than 500 California residents of a single breach to submit one sample copy of that notice to the Attorney General electronically. The California Attorney General's breach list, where this notice was found, is built from those submissions. Source: California Department of Justice, Office of the Attorney General, Data Security Breach Reporting. The guide Data breach laws by state: notice deadlines and attorney general thresholds in 23 states reads the rule in full, and the glossary defines Breach notification law.
