The report describes a widespread February 2024 ransomware attack on Change Healthcare that disrupted claims and prescription processing for over 70,000 U.S. healthcare organizations, prompting CMS/HHS to provide accelerated Medicare payments, relax billing and authorization rules, and accept paper claims while systems were restored; the incident has driven recovery costs toward $1 billion and reportedly involved a $22 million ransom payment to ALPHV/BlackCat, with most emergency payments since recovered.
