Funding is allotted to help with expenses related to the RIBridges data breach

PROVIDENCE, RI — At the request of Governor Dan McKee, Deloitte provided Rhode Island with $5 million to help pay for expenses related to the RIBridges data breach.

Separately, Deloitte is covering the cost of the data breach call center, credit monitoring, and identity protection for impacted customers.

Expenses supported by the $5 million payment include but are not limited to the costs associated with the approximately 2,000 HealthSource RI customers who were enrolled directly in coverage for the months of January and February.

HealthSource RI worked with insurance providers to offer customers who needed active coverage starting the 1st of the year to enroll directly with Neighborhood Health Plan of Rhode Island and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Rhode Island.

“Deloitte has recognized that the state has immediate and unexpected expenses related to the breach, and we appreciate their willingness to lend financial support,” said Governor Dan McKee.

The RIBridges system is undergoing a phased relaunch. At this writing, customers can access the HealthyRhode portal, submit applications, and interact with their accounts as needed.
