OCR classifies the incident as a hacking or IT incident, with the breached information held in a network server. Hacking/IT Incident is the type recorded on 13 of the 34 District of Columbia filings (38%) and on 85% of all filings submitted in 2026. Network Server appears on 38% of District of Columbia filings.

No business associate is recorded on the filing; 26% of District of Columbia filings do involve one. At 56,197 individuals the breach is 17 times the District of Columbia median filing of 3,400 and 14 times the national median of 4,000 across all 8,012 filings. It sits in the 10,000 to 99,999 band, which holds 1,973 filings.

As of 8 October 2026 the case is listed by HHS OCR under Cases Currently Under Investigation. OCR has not published a closing summary, so this page is limited to the fields on the filing itself; the archive entry that follows a closed investigation usually adds a short account of what was exposed and what the entity did afterwards.

District of Columbia's breach notification statute (D.C. Code 28-3851 et seq.) requires notice to affected residents in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay. Its attorney general threshold: 50 or more District residents. The HIPAA Breach Notification Rule ran alongside it: notice to affected individuals and to HHS without unreasonable delay and no later than 60 days after discovery, which is the clock that put this filing on the portal.

Multiplying 56,197 individuals by IBM's $160 customer-PII cost per record (Cost of a Data Breach 2025, the figure the site's calculator uses) gives a modelled $8.99M; the 2026 edition's $192 gives $10.8M. Both are modelled estimates with the method shown, not costs disclosed by Casper Orthopedic Associates, PC. For scale, IBM's 2026 average cost of a healthcare breach is $6.64M, so this filing models at 1.6 times the sector average.
