Claims couldn’t just be coded and submitted anymore. Every dollar was now

The waiting room is empty. The last patient left 45 minutes ago, but in the back office, the day is far from over.

For nearly 36 hours, the clinic couldn’t verify insurance, submit claims, or follow up on reimbursements. Patients were rescheduled. Income halted. And the worst part? The attackers had

At a busy outpatient clinic, a patient needed a routine medication. The provider wrote the prescription, confident it would be filled the same day. But when the patient returned a week later, they still hadn’t received a single dose. “The pharmacy said my insurance won’t cover it without prior auth,” the patient explained. What should have been a straightforward decision turned into a frustrating administrative loop calls, forms, and endless back-and-forth on portals. Clinical staff spent hours collecting documentation and
