The recently disclosed Anthem data breach may affect as many as 80 million current and former members and has significant implications for employers. Depending on the nature of the contractual relationship with Anthem, employers may have legal obligations, particularly regarding notification, under HIPAA and ERISA. In addition, the breach and resulting fallout may affect plan fiduciaries who work with multiple health insurers and who may not use Anthem at all.
