On May 26, 2023, Managed Care stated that “[o]n March 6, 2023, [Managed Care] became aware that an unauthorized party was able to access certain [Managed Care] systems.” On or around that same day, Managed Care conducted a review and determined that “an unauthorized third party was able to access certain systems and remove copies of some personal information” and that these files contained personal information. As a result of the Data Breach, unauthorized third parties were purportedly able to access important and personal information including names; dates of birth; addresses; telephone numbers; email addresses; Social Security numbers; driver’s license numbers or government-issued identification numbers; and health insurance information such as names of plans/insurers/government payors, members/Medicaid/Medicare ID numbers, plan and/or group numbers; and information regarding dental/orthodontic care.”
Managed Care is a leading dental benefits manager that provides dental and oral care services to state agencies and managed care organizations for their Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and Medicare members. Managed Care serves over 5 million children and adults.
According to the Maine Attorney General’s website, approximately 8,923,662 individuals throughout California and the United States were exposed. If you received a Breach Letter from Managed Care, then you were impacted by the Data Breach.

A very special Thank You to Sal, Dominic & Jeff! 🤗🤗🤗
They always keep me up to date on my case. I also felt it was done in a timely manner!
Arnold Law firm provided me with an amazing experience. They were super communicative and assisted me with any needs or questions that I had during my journey to recovery and through financial hardship due to my car accident. I was hit by an uninsured motorist and would have been completely overwhelmed by all of the bills, paperwork, insurance nuances, and legal action needed. Jesus Garcia was an absolute pleasure to work with and I couldn’t be happier with the results.
Met with a lawyer who is taking care of my wife's potential lawsuit. He was nice and his assistant is really on top of things.I'd recommend them if you need representation. No upfront costs and reasonable expectations when suit is settled.
Excellent service.... All questions are answered promptly and thoroughly...Most of all, the knowledge and expertise are outstanding.
