The US government has taken action following a recent cyber attack on Change Healthcare, a major insurance processing company that handles a significant portion of health care transactions in the country. Change Healthcare processes a staggering 15 billion health care transactions annually, making it a crucial player in the industry.
Since the cyber attack, which occurred last month, pharmacies and hospitals nationwide have been experiencing difficulties in processing prescription drug bills. This disruption has raised concerns about potential financial strain on health care providers.
