Hacked health care giant makes progress in recovery, but concerns for small clinics remain

The health insurance billing system in the United States is stabilizing following an unprecedented cyberattack on a key company last month. Ninety-five percent of the affected company’s health insurance claims are now being processed. The cyberattack forced the company to take its computer systems offline, but they have since restored their electronic payments platform. However, the full financial impact of the hack is still unknown. US officials are investigating whether the company complied with federal law to protect patient data. Smaller health clinics may still need assistance to continue operating.
