Notice of Data Incident

October 8, 2021

On September 8, 2021, The Urology Center of Colorado discovered that certain parts of our network may have been accessed by an unauthorized individual and we launched an investigation. The investigation determined that an individual accessed our network for a brief period of time between September 7th and September 8th of 2021. Therefore, in an abundance of caution, we reviewed our network to determine the type of data potentially at risk. Although we have no evidence to suggest actual or attempted misuse of information as a result of this incident, we are notifying individuals with information contained within the network. The type of information varies by individual, but includes name and one or more of the following data elements: date of birth, Social Security number, address, phone number, email address, medical record number, diagnosis, treating physician, insurance provider, treatment cost, and/or guarantor name.

Upon discovering this incident, we reset account passwords and implemented additional security measures to further protect information. We are also providing potentially impacted individuals with access to credit monitoring and identity protection services as an added precaution. If you have questions about this incident or would like to enroll in the credit monitoring and identity protection services, please call (833) 513-2598, Monday through Friday (except U.S. holidays), from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. MT. You may also write to us at 2777 Mile High Stadium Circle, Denver, Colorado 80211.

In general, we encourage potentially impacted individuals to remain vigilant against incidents of identity theft and fraud by reviewing credit reports/account statements and explanation of benefits forms for suspicious activity and to detect errors. Under U.S. law, individuals are entitled to one free credit report annually from each of the three major credit reporting bureaus, TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax. To order your free credit report, visit www.annualcreditreport.com or call 1-877-322-8228.

Individuals have the right to place an initial or extended “fraud alert” on a credit file at no cost. If individuals are a victim of identity theft, they are entitled to an extended fraud alert lasting seven years. As an alternative to a fraud alert, they have the right to place a “credit freeze” on a credit report. The credit freeze is designed to prevent credit, loans, and services from being approved without consent. Pursuant to federal law, individuals cannot be charged to place or lift a credit freeze on your credit report.

Should individuals wish to place a fraud alert or credit freeze, please contact the three major credit reporting bureaus listed below:

TransUnion                             Experian                                 Equifax

1-800-680-7289                        1-888-397-3742                        1-888-298-0045

transunion.com                         experian.com                            equifax.com

P.O. Box 2000                          P.O. Box 9554                          P.O. Box 105069

Chester, PA 19016                    Allen, TX 75013                      Atlanta, GA 30348

Individuals can further educate themselves regarding identity theft, fraud alerts, credit freezes, and the steps to protect their personal information by contacting the credit reporting bureaus, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), or their state Attorney General. The FTC also encourages those who discover that their information has been misused to file a complaint with them. The FTC may be reached at 600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, D.C. 20580; www.identitytheft.gov; 1-877-ID-THEFT (1-877-438-4338); and TTY: 1-866-653-4261. Instances of known or suspected identity theft should also be reported to law enforcement, the state Attorney General, and the FTC.

And, we want to protect vulnerable patients and staff who are providing care to our patients.  If you have questions or concerns please call our center at 303-825-8822.

5-5-2020

Almost two months ago, The Urology Center of Colorado (TUCC) transitioned routine Urology care to a telehealth platform and delayed elective medical and surgical care with your physician during the COVID-19 threat.  In an ongoing effort to protect our community, patients, and staff, TUCC has a new focus on telehealth appointments.

Most routine care can be provided in the comfort and security of your own home.  Through a user-friendly online telehealth platform, called Doxy.me, patients can use a smartphone, tablet, or computer with access to a camera to conduct a full telehealth visit with their provider.

In the coming weeks, we will also begin to expand our ability to care for patients with less pressing issues. As it becomes safe to do so, we will return to normal clinic operations.

We remain committed to seeing patients with urgent urological issues within our clinic. We have designed and implemented the safest possible healthcare environment at TUCC.  TUCC has the resources to perform the necessary imaging and to provide treatment recommendations in a streamlined fashion often in a single visit.

While under our care you can expect the following changes as part of TUCC’s process for keeping patients safe:

  • We have rearranged our clinic to maintain appropriate social distancing in public areas as recommended by the CDC
  • Hand hygiene will be evident
  • Additional cleaning and sanitation protocols are in place for commonly touched environmental surfaces
  • Visitors will be limited in our facilities to practice social distancing. Patients please do NOT bring guests (including spouses/partners). If you need assistance during your visit please call our office at 303-825-8822 to discuss further
  • We are screening all individuals upon entrance to TUCC. If you have a temperature over 100.4 degrees F you will need to reschedule your appointment and you will be directed to follow up with your Primary Care provider as soon as possible
  • Staff are not permitted on the premises if they have a temperature over 100.4 degrees
  • All staff, providers, patients, and visitors are required to wear masks. If you are scheduled for an in-person visit, please wear a mask or you will be asked to reschedule your appointment.  Both standard medical masks or homemade face coverings are acceptable.  

In the event that you are scheduled for surgery, you will be contacted prior to your procedure to confirm the date, time, and location.  In addition we will provide you with facility-specific guidelines that need to be met prior to your procedure.  You will have an opportunity to ask questions regarding the process when you speak to the surgery scheduler.

If you would like to schedule an appointment please follow this link “Request Appointment“, email TUCCINFO@TUCC.com or call 303-825-8822 and we would be happy to help.  Additionally, you can visit our website TUCC.com to learn more about our practice, and our telehealth option.

At TUCC we are committed to helping our patients, our employees, our providers and our community resume life and work activities as safely and as soon as possible.  Thank you for your understanding during this challenging time as we continue to provide excellent urologic care in an ever-changing environment.

To our valued TUCC community,

In light of this, TUCC has immediately taken the following actions:

  • We are limiting our in-office visits to urgent conditions
  • We are rescheduling elective surgeries
  • We are offering telephone consultations for both our new and established patients. You may schedule an appointment here>>
  • As possible, we are asking our employees to work remotely

At this time, we will continue to evaluate and treat patients in our radiation oncology department.
