Vision Upright MRI Data Breach Class Action

At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent Vision Upright MRI data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident at Vision Upright MRI, which may have affected as many as 23,031 individuals, potentially exposing sensitive personal identifiable information.

What Happened?

A recent report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights states that the Vision Upright MRI data breach occurred due to a cyber security incident classified as a "Hacking / IT Incident" affecting a network server.

The California-based medical imaging center filed its official notification on March 10, 2025, after discovering unauthorized access to information stored on their systems. Currently, limited details are available about the specific circumstances surrounding the breach, as Vision Upright MRI has not issued a press release or posted a website notice with additional information about the incident.

Based on the available information, there remains some uncertainty about whether the breach directly targeted Vision Upright MRI's own network or if it originated through one of their third-party vendors or business partners. What is clear is that unauthorized parties gained access to protected health information belonging to tens of thousands of patients.

While specific details about the types of compromised data have not been publicly disclosed through the federal reporting portal, healthcare breaches typically involve highly sensitive information that may include:

• Patient names and contact information
• Medical record numbers
• Health insurance details
• Treatment information
• Diagnostic codes
• Billing information
• And potentially Social Security numbers

Data breach letters were sent out by Vision Upright MRI following their investigation, informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and the specific types of personal data that may have been compromised in their individual cases.

Vision Upright MRI Overview

Vision Upright MRI operates as a specialized diagnostic imaging facility located in San Jose, California. Established in 2008, the medical center provides magnetic resonance imaging services using specialized equipment that differs from conventional MRI machines.

The facility utilizes multi positional MRI technology that allows patients to be scanned in various orientations—including standing, sitting, and in positions of flexion, extension, rotation, and lateral bending. This technical approach enables healthcare providers to visualize anatomical structures under different conditions, which can be particularly useful for examining certain musculoskeletal issues.

With approximately 30 employees including technical staff, administrative personnel, and medical directors, Vision Upright MRI primarily serves patients from the greater San Jose region who require diagnostic imaging services. The organization generates an estimated annual revenue of $5 million through its medical imaging operations.

The facility's open MRI design accommodates patients who may experience discomfort in traditional enclosed MRI machines, serving as an alternative option for diagnostic imaging within the local healthcare ecosystem.
