What happened in the ExamOne data breach
In a letter dated October 6, 2026, ExamOne, which describes itself as a Quest Diagnostics Company and whose letterhead gives an address in Lenexa, Kansas, told the recipient that it performs services on behalf of another company and had collected specimens and paperwork from the recipient in connection with an insurance application submitted to that company. ExamOne says it discovered that the specimens and paperwork were not received by the testing laboratory as expected. The collection date, the discovery date and the name of the other company are redacted in the copy of the letter posted with the Massachusetts filing.
The letter posted with the Massachusetts filing says the paperwork included the recipient's name, address, date of birth, the last four digits of the Social Security number, driver's license number, telephone number, policy number, email address, physical measurements, and medication. ExamOne writes that it has no indication the information has been stolen or misused, but that there is some risk it could be used inappropriately. ExamOne is offering two years of free credit monitoring and identity protection services through Equifax, with enrollment open until September 29, 2028. The Massachusetts filing, reported October 24, 2026, lists one Massachusetts resident, and no total count has been disclosed.
The letter does not say how the specimens and paperwork failed to reach the laboratory. Whether ExamOne's handling of this information met legal standards is among the issues being evaluated.
Why ExamOne had your information
ExamOne performs services on behalf of another company named in your letter (redacted in the posted copy) and collected specimens and paperwork in connection with an insurance application submitted to that company.
Your letter still qualifies for a free review.
