Data Breach Summary
A significant data security breach involving Nationwide Recovery Services, Inc. (NRS), a debt collection services provider and former vendor of Select Medical Holdings, Inc., has led to unauthorized access and potential exposure of personal information belonging to certain individuals affiliated with Select Medical.
If you have received a notification letter from Select Medical or suspect your information may have been involved, it is crucial to act quickly to protect your personal data. Affected individuals are advice to remain vigilant by monitoring their accounts, reviewing medical and insurance statements, and reporting any suspicious activity.
On July 11, 2024, NRS became aware of suspicious activity within its network, which led to a system outage. Upon investigation, it was determined that between July 5, 2024, and July 11, 2024, an unauthorized actor accessed NRS’s network and copied certain files. NRS immediately secured its systems and launched a comprehensive investigation into the incident, involving law enforcement to aid in the probe.
After receiving the list of affected individuals, Select Medical took action to notify impacted patients and guarantors. On June 6, 2025, Select mailed notification letters to the affected individuals, including 208 Maine residents. The notifications were sent in compliance with Maine’s data breach notification laws.
As part of its response, Select Medical is offering complimentary credit monitoring services to those impacted by the breach. Additionally, Select has set up a toll-free incident response line to answer any questions that affected individuals may have.
The incident response line and further information can be accessed by those who received the mailed notification letters. Affected individuals are urged to enroll in the free credit monitoring services to help mitigate the risk of identity theft and monitor any changes to their financial information.
