A laptop computer, flash drive, and paper files were stolen from a vehicle of a Kansas Department on Aging employee in Wichita on Jan. 12.

The department is attempting to notify customers of a potential breach to their personal and protected health information.

The files pertained primarily to customers located in Sedgwick, Harvey, and Butler counties. They include customer names, complete addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, in-home services program participation information, and Medicaid identification numbers.

All involved customers will be sent an individual letter explaining the situation.

Customers are encouraged to check the KDOA website at http://www.agingkansas.org for information, which will be posted. Interested people may also contact KDOA by telephone at (855) 477-0395.
