HealthEngine hit with $2.9 penalty
Online health booking platform HealthEngine has been fined $2.9m by the Federal Court, after the consumer watchdog pursued it for sharing personal data relating to more than 135,000 patients between 2014 and 2018.
The company admitted to sharing patient personal information to private health insurance brokers, and publishing misleading patient reviews and ratings, with HealthEngine earning more than $1.8m from the insurance brokers.
HealthEngine was ordered to pay $2.9m in penalties, and contact affected customers and provide them with details of how they can regain control of their personal information.
Not good!
David.
