Section F.2 / In context
Where this filing sits in Virginia and in 2026
OCR classifies the incident as a hacking or IT incident, with the breached information held in a desktop computer, an electronic medical record system, email and a network server. Hacking/IT Incident is the type recorded on 101 of the 159 Virginia filings (64%) and on 86% of all filings submitted in 2026. Desktop Computer appears on 3% of Virginia filings.
No business associate is recorded on the filing; 38% of Virginia filings do involve one. At 12,400 individuals the breach is 2.8 times the Virginia median filing of 4,500 and 3.1 times the national median of 4,000 across all 8,045 filings. It sits in the 10,000 to 99,999 band, which holds 1,983 filings.
As of 22 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.
Virginia's breach notification statute (Va. Code 18.2-186.6) requires notice to affected residents without unreasonable delay. Its attorney general threshold: all breaches (concurrent with individual notice). 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 12,400 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 $1.98M; the 2026 edition's $192 gives $2.38M. Both are modelled estimates with the method shown, not costs disclosed by Young C. Park DDS., PC d/b/a Park Dental. For scale, IBM's 2026 average cost of a healthcare breach is $6.64M, so this filing models at 0.4 times the sector average.

Method: individuals affected, as reported by Young C. Park DDS., PC d/b/a Park Dental to HHS, multiplied by IBM's customer-PII cost per record (Cost of a Data Breach 2025 Figure 6 and the 2026 edition). No cost has been disclosed by the entity for this filing; the figure is a planning estimate, not a fact about the breach. IBM's per-record figures come from mid-volume breaches and IBM cautions against applying them to breaches involving millions of records; the site's per-record page explains where the multiplication holds and where it breaks down.
Context: IBM's average cost of a healthcare breach is $6.64M in the 2026 report ($7.42M in 2025); the global average across all sectors was $4.44M in 2025.

Portal: ocrportal.hhs.gov breach report. Statutory basis: HITECH Act section 13402(e)(4): the Secretary must post a list of breaches of unsecured protected health information affecting 500 or more individuals. Breaches affecting fewer than 500 individuals are reported to OCR annually and are not posted, so they are not on this register. Status wording follows the portal's two tabs ("Cases Currently Under Investigation" and "Archive") as of 22 October 2026; a filing moves to the archive when OCR closes the case. Modelled costs on this site are a method applied to the reported count, using IBM Cost of a Data Breach per-record figures, and are never a cost disclosed by the entity.
