A small dermatology practice in Concord, Massachusetts has agreed to pay a $150,000 fine for the loss of one USB thumb drive holding 2,200 patients records.  The USB thumb drive was stolen from the car of a staffer and has not been recovered.

In addition to the HIPAA fine, the dermatology practice must create a corrective action plan to address compliance deficiencies.
