Important notice from Bates County Memorial Hospital

Recent reports about a company called Change Healthcare in the national media involving a cybersecurity event does not directly impact Bates County Memorial Hospital but does involve claim submissions to all Healthcare and Pharmacies nationwide, which affects us indirectly by holding up our claim submissions. It interrupts the information flow.

All BCMH systems are secure and functional. We were not breached. It does slow down claims and slows sending some prescriptions by electronic means to pharmacies.

We apologize for any delays or inconvenience caused by the slowdown. Change Healthcare (owned by UnitedHealth Group) is working around the clock on this issue.
