    With all the issues surrounding the cyber attack and RBMA member Change Healthcare I want to let the members know that we are in communication with Change regarding opportunities to provide communications to RBMA members on issues they are experiencing.  Optum has provided Optum Solution Status Updates where you may subscribe to daily updates on the status of the issues.  See below for today's update.

    Incident Report for Optum Solutions
    Update
    Change Healthcare can confirm we are experiencing a cybersecurity issue perpetrated by a cybercrime threat actor who has represented itself to us as ALPHV/Blackcat.

    Our experts are working to address the matter and we are working closely with law enforcement and leading third-party consultants, Mandiant and Palo Alto Network, on this attack against Change Healthcare's systems. We are actively working to understand the impact to members, patients and customers.

    Patient care is our top priority, and we have multiple workarounds to ensure people have access to the medications and the care they need. Based on our ongoing investigation, there's no indication that Optum, UnitedHealthcare and UnitedHealth Group systems have been affected by this issue.

    We are working on multiple approaches to restore the impacted environment and continue to be proactive and aggressive with all our systems, and if we suspect any issue with the system, we will immediately take action.
